3D World wasn't a launch game, though. And DK hasn't been a system seller since....SNES?

Splatoon wasn't neither a launch title and moved consoles.

Oh, and about DK, tell that to those that defend the decision of Retro for choosing DK over anything else.

I dont think that was Retro decision, Nintendo most likely tell them to make new DK after success of DKCR on Wii, DKCR on Wii sold more than all Metroid Prime games combined.

Supposedly, Retro was the one that choose DK.

DKCTF didn't move consoles

I have hard time believing in that. In any case it will be interesting to see whats their next game (this E3), I am certain it's not DK game this time. :)

I neither believe it. I also believe it was a decision from above as DK was cheaper and faster to develop than for example BotW and XenoX.

And actually much more popular compared to previous Retro games (Metroid Prime games), that was purple business decision of Nintendo. It's hard to believe that DKCR sold more than Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, Metroid Prime 3 and Metroid Trilogy, combined. :)

It isn't hard. It was during a holiday season and the first 2DK game since a decade or more.

 

Once you remove the Wii sales and the novelty, you are left with an irrelevant flop like Tropical Freeze.

Its hard, thats 4 games compared to one, and two of those games were on Wii. But Wii was more casual paltform while Metroid Prime is hard core game.

So, DKCR is a casual game?

Well colorful 2D Donkey Kong multiplayer platformer is definitely more appealing to casual crowd than Metroid Prime is.

So, I guess Wii U was not a casual console? That's why DK flopped?
