I don't Kirby is a popular enough brand to give any sort of guarantee at success.

You underestimate Japan then ...

Yeah I was only thinking about western markets tbh, Japan does have a big mobile market, and the title does say "one of the most succesful" not "the most successful" like I thought, so oops.

So sure I agree it could be.

Aren't all games clones?

I mean every new Mario game is basically a Gianna Sisters clone with a Mario skin on it.

I didn't knew there are Gianna Sisters 64 and Gianna Sisters Galaxy games.

It appears that Nintendo might have stolen the idea for Super Mario 64 from the guys that made Star Fox. They pitched almost the exact game game starring Yoshi well before Mario 64 was announced.

Yes.

Then they should just make a Bejeweled clone with Kirby and keep all the money themselves...

I'm not sure about that, Candy Crush fad has already passed so I don't see how another Candy Crush like-game would bring it back

It's not passed though, this might be region specfic charts, but on google play in the UK at least Candy Crush Saga is currently the 3rd top grossing, and Candy Crush Soda is the 5th.

interesting

though it definitely isn't what it once was, so even if it remains popular, not sure if Nintendo could capitalize on a clone?
