Metroid Prime (1) was hailed beyond end. It still is the highest ranked game of the previous gen. A lot of people bought it on hype and probably found it to be too hard. As much as I liked the game, sometimes the backtracking and inability to progress frustrated me very much.

I think that's basically why Prime sold more than 2 and 3. The ones that stayed liked the game.

You say that like it stopped selling. It hasn't even been out for a year.

Hmm I didn't realise the release date was soon. We've seen so little. Maybe we'll see a bit more in the coming weeks. And hopefully there will be some advertising. I hope they just don't treat it like it's nothing. I'm interested in it!

All I know is Nintendo is publishing this game, it's survival horror, and Suda51 is working on it. That's all I need to know to love it.

Capture ghosts in jars of Branson Pickle! 

I honestly don't think that here will be much advertising for this. I also don't think that Nintendo will buy the rights to it either. I know that we as gamers are looking forward to this game, but I don't think that many people outside of the hardcore gaming community buying this game. It will probably be a pretty good game with mediocre sales, unfortunately.

Well the series was already kind of niche, so it was likely put on the Wii to ensure a profit even with smaller sales. 

Nintendo is more then just the publisher on the title, they are also helping to develop it.
