Two main differences here.  One, Federation Force got ok reviews, not good.  Two, FF was actively moving away from Metroid.  FAR away.  While CS is moving towards th original Paper Mario style.  It is still separated from TTYD, but it is closer none the less, being praised for ways it returns to form while FF was praised only for things Metroid fans aren't looking for.  Also, consider the reviewers, not the review site in many cases.  In this case, the reason Gamexplain's review is impressive is because Andre absolutely HATES Sticker Star, something he has made vocally clear with every single video or demonstration of Color Splash since and including its unvailing.  So for him to like this one a lot means something went right.  

The fact that Andre is totally loving this game is what's giving me a headache right now xD. He was spreading his SS hate in all the Colour Splash videos, basically.

And we know his hate isn't easily turned.  Look at his review of the best Zelda ever Twilight Princess HD.

Color Splash was doomed from the beginning anyway. I've nothing to do with that, just stating the obvious. For some reason Nintendo decided to make a sequel to the most hated Paper Mario game and they will feel the consequences, just like what happened with Farce. 

If you think this game is gonna flop at Federation Force levels you are out of reality here, this game could be esily a million seller by the time Xmas comes, is charming, is fun, is good for publics from all ages, it looks phenomenal, is a Mario game and it has positive reviews. I'm not seeing this floping hard.

It is not gonna flop at Farce levels, but it'll sell bad for a Mario game. It's not even on the pre-order list right now. Even Bayonetta 2 made it there several weeks before release and only recently reached 1m. I expect Color Splash to remain below the 400k.

Nope, you're right. He still dislikes it xD. I'm now really curious about the game. I kinda want now to check if it can convince me, being a SS hater. Problem is it could be a really waste of money.

Your expectations are gonna be far from reality, you'll see.

Good to hear that it's getting good reviews. I may try it out after I play Fire Emblem Awakening and Persona 4 Golden.

So, it ended up being better received than expected. Even the OP sounds much more positive about it in this thread.

That pretty much never happens on the Wii U. Be it at Gamestop or on eBay, Wii U games never become very cheap.

Some games do. I got Xenoblade X at a lower price.

Funny how everyone bashed it just because of Sticker Star.

People are too negative nowadays.

Reviewed well as expected but still unfortunate. Hopefully sales prove to be a better reflection of the amiibo Festival/Ultra Smash tier game that this is.
