My speculation isnt fanbase though at all. I think it did do good, i said Nintendo probably doesnt because of the AR cards. AR cards were suppose to go on with the game, but failed to do so. How come? Because the fanbase wasnt all there.


Because AR cards are cool for 5 minutes...?

I dont think you understand what im saying. KI:U was suppose to be make AR cards big, there were many AR cards to be released, but in the end never came out. That must mean KI:U didnt push enough copies to warrant the success of said Product (AR cards)

The 3DS has done well, but has there really been many AR cards released for it?

Pretty sure The Wonderful 101 was expected to do at least .70m by now. (not sure on what their predictions were for lifetime, but I'm pretty sure they weren't expecting it to do .14m in the first year)

Only series was KI:U (excluding the 5 cards giving with every 3ds).

I was collecting them too. MY FAVORITE HH of all TIME :'-(

This game deserved 3mil+ at least.

Its a good game, no doubt. Just thinking that since the first two Kid Icarus games flopped, it would be weird for Nintendo to think this one would be a smash hit...

Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (Wii U)
Nintendog's + Cats (3DS)

You forgot the most crucial one for you personally: Super Mario Galaxy 2. That game is the reason why Super Mario 3D World was made.

Considering it was just inferior DLC to the original Super Mario Galaxy, it was expected to sell worse.

And most of the eligible answers are Nintendo related.

... in other words ... not a good industry for colorful platformers and mini-game comps right now.

Bombs left and right.

This thread is about expectations from publishers, not fans. And let's not forget that SMG2 was made the way it was because of the failure of the first Super Mario Galaxy.


And that's the cycle. SMGDLC was made in that way because the failure of the og SMG, later 3DWorld because SMGDLC and for the next years we are going to see new exciting ways to play 3D Mario's.

After the historical failure of Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo will learn that they have to do more ambituous games and not cheap ones like 3D World. Of course they will keep failing, but it will be in the same level of SMG, not as terrible as 3D World.

Hopefully they also learned their lesson with Donkey Kong.

Its funny how you think SM3DW is a failure, as for DK, DK:CR made way more money than the last 5 metroid combine....... It just seems like the old "Hate DK because its not Metroid" argument playing its part again.

Oh well
