The hilarious fucking thing about all of this is even in the fucking Metroid thread on here brings up the fact that Fusion is linear as fuck so its a very common sentiment to point out about it not something thats a community specific concern.

All I did was point out that Metroid fags sperg out about every new title after Super so seeing that a relatively ok title like Prime 4 has is so divisive doesn't mean anything yet you got upset about Fusion even going as far as to quote review scores from back then as if they mean anything but given that you were retarded enough to quote the opinions of youtubers I dont believe you ever had a point to make you were just upset over me shitting on it.

Who did I quote, retard?

Metroid Prime sold nearly 3 million copies and is in the top 10 best selling games for Gamecube. Fusion's 1.6 million copies would be considered decent at the time. To put it in a historical context, both these games sold better than Super Metroid. Games that weren't pack ins very rarely broke more than a few million in sales until the Wii/360/PS3 era. They both sold extremely decently for the time they were released.

Prime 1 sold 2.8 million in its lifespan...that's bad and being among a top selling titles on a console that sold poorly is nothing to gloat about. Fusion is even worse because the GBA was insanely popular yet it sold worse than most license slop on the platform. So? All three of these games sold badly once again Metroid games have never sold well and I say this because the usual grifters are using Prime 4 debut's sales as a gotcha when its literally on par with how the franchise has always sold in Japan. Even fucking Nintendo acknowledges this by saying that if sales were the determining factor for the production of the games they would have stopped making them years ago.

If you follow the Metroid community and not just general audiences they are super autistic about level design and weapon implementation i.e. shit that normies dont care for about. Fusion is still well loved (though that can also be due to nostalgia) but these nitpicks aren't out of nowhere or come from a specific section of the community in fact I saw people shitting on it on Twitter recently when discussing Prime 4's linearity and map design. Dread definitely had a lot of criticism though and downplaying the grievances people had with is just revisionism despite it overall being a...

Who's gloating? You said that these games were disliked when they came out and I, a person who was already shitposting on the Nintendojo forums when they came out, just pointed out that I don't recall them being disliked at the time of release and asked if that was the general coconscious or the opinion of a handful of guys on forums. You then proceeded to explain how it was a handful of guys on forums and posting screenshots from a handful of guys on forums over and over.

While I love the 2D series, I don't even like the Metroid Prime series, personally. There's no universe where I was ever going to play Prime 4. That doesn't mean other people don't like them.

The image I posted was to prove that there was very little hype for Metroid Prime back then before its release so using that as an excuse for Fusion doesn't make sense and its a well known fact that people were skeptical of a FPS Metroid title as much as they were skeptical of "Celda". It was never meant to be an attack towards you but nothing I said was wrong and a lot of what I said is just common sentiment across different platforms unless you're going on circlejerk threads on reddit.

I like Metroid as a whole but the fanbase is filled with spergs that complains about everything even great games like Fusion and Dread.

This is some Nintendeen level retardation negating the fact that Bananza is literally the best selling DK title since Returns and that the PS5 was heavily discounted on Black Friday while the Switch 2 wasn't yet it still lost the month of November overall an even got outsold by the fucking NEX peripheral so it only really did well on the day you could get it for a steal. Also Europoors are irrelevant since everything is doing badly over there outside FIFA.

Donkey Kong Bananza is perhaps the worst game you could bring it. According to Nintendo's reports, it's sold-in 3.5 million as of 9/30, but as of early November, it had only sold through 2.6 million. So for months they've had nearly a million copies of this game just rot on store shelves. In the age of digital downloads (which is like 50% on Nintendo platforms), having that big of a game between sell through and sell in is really fucking terrible. And its still quite a bit less than DKC returns anyway. There is a reason the game got paid DLC and then a demo AFTER it came out.

Also the PS5 wasn't discounted that much. It would have made it's price comparable to the Switch 2. You also have to keep in mind Sony's been raising the price of this thing for a while. Losing to a 5 year old console the minute the price is comparable isn't a good thing.
EDIT: On Europe, keep in mind the Switch 1's 2nd best selling region is Europe. Doing poorly there means the Switch 2 will sell a lot less than the Switch 1.

Is that you Nintendeen? Because nobody could make such a pathetic attempt of doomposting over a proven success based on nothing but "dud trust me"

Prime says were considered disappointing back when in 2003 and subsequent titles couldn't sell above 1 million. Prime 3 was on the fucking Wii with a much larger install base and it was one of its lowest selling titles.
 
The endless sales figures vs subjective quality of product "debate". I hate that I'm old enough now to have seen this over several different generations of game systems.

I don't get the point. Quality as a function of sales only works on cases where the consumers aren't retarded. Like luxury cars (that aren't EVs).

I think it's more so what will Nintendo do with DK going forward. They consider Bananza to be a success, enough to be an "evergreen title", but does that mean DKfags will get more games or will DKB just be milked with paid DLC for the foreseeable future? So far it's looking to be the latter and allegedly a crossover with MKW, which to me is just a glorified advertisemet promo for both games. I mean the game was 5 days shy from being out for 3 months when $20 DLC was announced for it which came out the very next day. Like wtf.
 
Wasn't Prime 1 the best selling Metroid game before or since up until the Switch-boosted Dread? Seems like Prime 1 wasn't a failure if it managed to be the best selling game in its series for near 20 years. Hell, the GameCube was also a failing system, yet Prime was so good it still became a notable art piece.

Metroid was considered an A-list IP on GC, so much so that the DS was sold on being able to play a demo of a handheld Prime title. Also yes, Prime was a massive seller for both GC and Metroid in general.

In saying this, we are talking about the GC, which was a very different era for Nintendo. Metroid would have much of its momentum killed after the first Prime hence the legacy of Metroid not being that big of a Nintendo IP to most people. The Wii/DS (and definitely the 3DS) would also be a change period for Nintendo where most of their new and once lesser IPs would randomly begin to match or heavily surpass Metroid. The Wii series, Nintendogs, Brain Age, Big Brain Academy, Xenoblade and Splatoon would dominate in sales for new IPs. As for old, Kirby, Fire Emblem, Zelda, Animal Crossing and Pikmin would randomly see huge growth spurts that vastly overtook Metroid.
 
Today’s the day Nintendo publicly broke the secret that the King has returned.

First, I have no idea why this guy lives rent free in Tendies heads. I guess he's smart enough to not just get dupped by a headline like most Nintendo man children or perhaps its because he is a big Nintendo fan so they seem him as some kind of turncoat in the Tendies eternal struggle against the Soyny menace.

Cope and seeth over my post all you like. All that info came right out of Nintendo earnings releases. Thinking Bananza is this unequivical success is just taking the headline and thinking sell-in is the same as sell-through. There is a reason it got DLC that is basically cut content and a demo after it was released (as well as a new wave of advertising)
 
I'm not saying Prime 4 is not going to sell. I'm not saying it's a terrible game. I rented the first Prime for Gamecube back when it came out, didn't care for it and never thought about it again. I wasn't even going to play Prime 4 if it was lauded as the best in the series. I really don't care if it's good or sells, beyond the hilarity of such a high profile title being just kind of OK.

However, the people doing mental backflips saying "This happens with every Metroid game" when it's been rated lower than every other mainline Metroid game on Metacritic by the very critics who love to suck Nintendo's cock are really something. Clearly this critical reception is atypical for the series. My brother in Christ, the Metroid 2 remake and Metroid Prime Hunters were more positively received.

It’s interesting that most of the mixed reviews are from Europe. I wonder why that is.
