Probably gonna suck.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

2 million is my guess. I'm not a fan of this team feature. I would rather have a more classic Kirby.

My guess is 2.5-3m, since first-party games on Switch are doing better than their predecessors.

It looks like it will be the best Kirby game in a long time, so probably over 2 million, maybe 3 million including digital.

Hmm, tricky.
I don't really know how well Kirby usually sells, and
The Switch is a whole different situation regardless of tradition, further complicating the task.

Kirby Star Allies looks to be the most impressive 2D game Nintendo has ever made.
The Switch is hot right now.

4.3 million LT.

Kirby's Dreamland (GB)-5.13m

Kirby's Adventure (NES)-1.75m

Kirby's Dreamland 2 (GB)-2.36m

Kirby Pinball Land (GB)-2.19m

Kirby Tilt n Tumble (GB)-1.23m

Kirby Super Star (SNES)-1.44m

Kirby: Crystal Shards (N64)-1.77m

Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA)-2.10m

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (GBA)-1.47m

Kirby Air Ride (GC)-1.35m

Kirby Super Star Ultra (DS)-2.99m

Kirby Squeak Squad (DS)-2.27m

Kirby Mass Attack-1.22m

Kirby Epic Yarn (Wii)-1.85m

Kirby Return to Dreamland (Wii)-1.79m

Kirby Triple Deluxe (3DS)-1.78m

Kirby Planet Robobot (3DS)-1.36m

A couple others failed to hit 1 million like Canvas Curse & Rainbow Curse but it seems like outside of the original that did over 5m, the average is about 2 million give or take.

Thanks for the info.

I had always thought Kirby was a bit bigger than that.
This does not bode well for my prediction.
Still, I choose to believe in the pink puff.

2.5 million. High for a Kirby game - but I think it's launching at the right time. Established, family friendly IP with a local multiplayer focus and what looks like high production values on a rapidly expanding platform, should do well.

Really? <.<
Trailer didnt really do much for me, and not a fan of makeing games that play best with 3-4 ppl.

Im going to guess it does 2m+ though, everything seems to sell well on the switch atm.

2 - 3 million range and closer to 3 million, Nintendo games are selling well on Switch and there isn't much else announced for the first half of 2018, that should help the game in the first weeks and then the usual legs will finish the job.
