Metriod.No one in Japan buys it.

Are you serious?

http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=4442

Sold more in japan than U.S

Edit: Actually It sold the same as U.S and others combined.

Anyway what does that have to do with your personal preference?

Oh.I forgot to add that I don't like the Metriod games,and that it is Nintendo's weakest franchise.

Where did you get the idea metroid was nintendo's weakest franchise. Do you mean sales, or do you mean in quality. If quality then that is just your opinion and not the opinion of many. Especially since metroid prime is the 5th highest ranked game of all time, and super metroid is thought by many to be the best snes game. If you mean sales I wouldn't call 12 million copies sold bad, and that is out of the data vgchartz has. Especially when nintendo has many series that have sold far less examples being Battalion Wars and FIre Emblem.

I personally wouldn't want any franchise from any platform to die. But if I had to choose that would be a franchise that's dead by now, like Geist or Chibi Robo.

Well first, let me say that anyone that chose Metroid needs to die right now plz.

Mean Kill: Stafy. If they continue to refuse bringing that series over here they need to stop making them.

Mercy Kill: Donkey Kong. The series has been floating in limbo for awhile now, Nintendo doesn't seem to know what to do with it and it hasn't really been relevant as a powerful Nintendo franchise once Rare departed. DK anf friends will still show up in Mario games...sometimes...

Nonsensical Kill: Pokemon. Only if Nintendo hates money.

At least somebody agrees with me.

Do what I do: since we haven't had Mother 3 localized, don't think of the series as "dead", think of it as having a sequel which is bound to arrive someday.

I want my Earthbound sequel...

Man, I'm just waiting for the fan translation to be done at Starmen.net :3 They're making lots of progress.

I need it ; ;

mufufufufu.... xD

I can't wait either!

Also, a big "wtf" goes out to everyone saying Mario and Metroid, especially Mario considering how big he is. He's been the biggest gaming icon of all time since the time he was first created to now.

If one Nintendo franchise HAD to end...

I would cut my own throat and die in a world where happiness and light still hold their sway.

Arthasfoldor: I stand for the light.

That's LARP, fyi. LARP.

I traded my Wii for a 360 though...

Arthasfoldor Lich King: I was a fool to stand for the light.

Sorry, but metroid pirme isn't a shooter. It's an adventure game. And no there aren't plenty of adventure games nowadays.

Edit: ALso nobody could pick the metroid prime series because there isn't any more being made. I do hope they start making 2d metroids again. They better.
