Pretty much and famous are the three words you should focus on here. In commercial sense, what you don't know off doesn't exist. 

People....DKCR launched in the same year as Super Mario Galaxy 2, and within a month of Sonic Colors and Epic Mickey, on a console already swimming with platformers. A abundance of platformers is not the problem. Wii u sales numbers are.

No no no no no. 

I gave you mulitple genres. I gave you an action adventure game, a real-time straegy puzzle game,  a kart racer, a first person survival game, an action hunting game and a mob-fighter adventure game. 

A platformer title is something like core Mario and Donkey Kong Country, or Rayman legends and Origins. These are platformer titles all well established and extremely praise platformer titles. Platformer implies that the game has platforms that you jump to and from, to reach a goal point at the end of the level. 

What I don't know? A core Mario game has been confirmed as "in development" and is still very early in the planning stages. We don't know the style it's going to be. 

I'll be getting soon. I wanna play 3D world first though. 

Every Nintendo game is selling much less than their predecessor. Donkey Kong isn't the only one. To single Donkey Kong out is silly. I'm actually surprised on Pikmin sales but maybe that's because that franchise is used to being on a small user base.

600k on 6million install base aint that bad really. Thats kinda like 8million on a 80 mill install base which would be considered a success

... I don't think you got what I meant. All those games you mentioned, Pikmin, ZombiU, MH etc. are niche, with the exception being Mario Kart. In the eye of a consumer, these doesn't exist. Why? Cause they haven't heard of them (once again, exception being MK). They have however heard of DK. Or all the freaking mario games. And sadly this is what they see. It is not diversity. This hurts Wii U sales, and in turn DK sales.

Sales of DK are also hurt by the fact that many buy Mario instead. But whatever.

I'm not dissing the Wii U though. I own one platformer on it, SM3DW, a fantastic game. I have loads more games on Wii U that aren't platformers, but I'm also fully aware that the big group of consumers, and also most gamers, don't care/know of these titles. So they don't help. Blame marketing. Blame Nintendo. Blame whatever. But that's how it is.

one of, if not the best platformer i've ever played

Yeah I'm talking about a new one. I've already done WW to death in its previous versions.

This.

Also...doesn't everyone hate the ice levels in most games...all that slippery physics wreaks havok on our skills.  This game has that freeze part in the title even.  I'm sure there's not as much snow as it sounds like...but from a marketing standpoint it just seems like it's made up of the levels we never want to play anyway.

But seriously, Retro, stop wasting your time.  You honestly haven't done anything revolutionary to the 2D industry, and I would expect nothing short of that from the company that brought us Metroid Prime.  I'd say as a company you're underdelivering on the level of praise that we bestow upon you.
