Anyone here got actual figures on Samus Returns sales? Really hoping this supposed Metroid V sells decently.

Another one for the list of games that get only remembered because they never came out.
In the end Ring Fit Adventure is the best new IP in the past 5 years. That's all that matters.
But it was going to be great - ignore the opinion of the head of Retro!
Keep in mind, Captain Falcon got into Smash back in 1999, right after F-Zero X came out.
He's just been grandfathered in ever since.
Thinking about it, I feel like Next Level Games has a better chance of creating a new IP now that they are under Nintendo's direct ownership. As the second Western studio in the family, makes me more excited at the kind of game they might come up with on their own. Thoughts?
Ice Climbers got no game. Mother with Lucas being added to Brawl got no game.
I think she is based off of Bowser. Just dyed the green part of her hair from red and has razor sharp teeth
it had so much potential 😢 i can tell by the minute of footage we got
Interesting. You could be right. I'm thinking Bowser will be playable too.
Well yeah, but WHO is she? She's not a character I recognize anywhere else. I thought your reply was referring to a character that might have been in original M+R, but you clarified - it's the same character we saw in trailer - yes, we're aware she's in the trailer too but WHO is she tho? Haha
Like a new IP not tied to any other Nintendo IP? I don't expect it will change the situation much.
generally it is done by uplay accounts as most ubi games require you to have some form of linking to it, as well as telemetry events based on what the user account is on the respective console playing

The thing that makes me think it could be possible is that apparently Retro were working on new IPs, but they were scrapped. I feel like first party stufios would have an easier time pitching a new IP to Nintendo compared to second party devs.
Good Feel has had something in the works for a while. You never know! Could also benefit from a nice Treehouse gameplay showcase.
Speculation is Bowser so far. We'll see in due time.
Could've sworn someone from Nintendo said it did well. Can't find it though.
That arm reminds me a lot of the arms of the Federation Force's robots, but dunno if they would reference that in this picture filled of games they have doneRemember the robotic arm that appeared in Reggie's farewell?
Next to Mario's ass. Did we ever figure out what Retro was referencing? That could be a new IP
All we know is it's below 1m. I wouldn't take much weight from it though, 3ds software was dead by that point, fire emblem echoes also did sub 1m and that didn't stop three houses showing modest growth over the prior, more successful 3ds entries.
If there's a problem with ARMS, it's not the sales, it's the fact that it sold well initially and completely disappeared soon after. Don't want to even imagine what the player count might look like these days. I'm sure player engagement is an important metric for Nintendo.
So IF and thats a big IF this is about the pro then theyll give you up to $275 on trade in of your old switch. Thats real good
Yeah, they were non-specific and I'm honestly not sure if they were giving legit info, but I feel like a new IP could be there.
Yep. But I'm wondering if we'll see something else new from EPD 9, or maybe Monolith Soft. EPD 4 have been on new IP duty almost every year since Switch launched (and again this weekend!).
Transgression & Damnation confirmed.
I mean, EPD 9 are a good new IP candidate, I think.
Good-Feel's new IP should be self-published, unless Nintendo liked it and decided to pick it up. But then I think the aim of the Osaka team at Good-Feel is for self-published, self-owned IP, and I don't know if partnering with Nintendo would really achieve what Good-Feel seem to want with their new team.
I'm replaying Super Metroid in order to channel the cosmic energy towards a Metroid V reveal this Tuesday. Y'all should do the same.
Well, there's also XBox Series S in there. You could trade in XBox Series S, for a new XBox Series S, haha.
Do you happen to have the link to this?
F-Zero X was a Player's Choice on the N64, which means it sold over a million units. Keep in mind that a million back then is entirely different from a million today, so there was a basis for believing that Nintendo would explore F Zero in future years, which ended up happening.
Maybe if it's something that needs a huge budget securing for it, but idk.
There are examples of new IP that they have taken on from Western devs, like Art Academy, Snipperclips, The Stretchers. So they don't need to be someone super close with Nintendo.
So just catching up with this thread I found out Mario + Rabbids sold 7.5m units? That's a much bigger success than I thought.
People still cite the outdated 2 million figure but that's really Ubisoft's fault for not updating the numbers (if it's that big a hit you'd think they'd want to show it?)

Not quite sold 7.5m, it has had 7.5m players. Which means it probably sold between 5 and 6m.
Gold star
I remember that too, something along the lines of "performed well for a release on a winding down console"
I've replayed every mainline game (other than hunters) since the beginning of the year 😂
It'll end up outselling the previous best by at the very least 60%, could be closer to 100%, that's not modest growth.
🙇♂️ you're doing god's work, salvation is near
Did you also play the Prime Trilogy? I'm so tempted to go get my Wii U from out of storage...
6 times each since it was first rumoured to be coming to switch, finished all three in the same day a couple of times haha
I'd honestly be shocked if ARMS wasn't significantly more profitable.
I'd also be shocked if Nintendo expected even Splatoon 2 like sales from a brand new EPD IP. Being from the "Mario Kart Team" (I don't think this means what people think it means, EPD is way more fluid than that) doesn't magically change this.
Then there's the fact that Nintendo themselves went out of their way to say it met their expectations.
No cheap ROM dumps either. I want the Complete edition of FF4 and GBA features for FF5 and FF6.
I really need to be more consistent with Ring Fit Adventure but every time I play it I have so much fun.
Ah right. Do you have to connect to uplay for M+R? I don't remember needing to but it has been a while since I played.
I've been waiting to replay any Metroid for a while now. But whether we get a new game announced in the Direct or not, I'm dropping everything and doing a huge Metroid marathon, haha.
oh my gosh. HOW. I am not into speedrunning personally, but 1 and 2 are in the running for my favorite games of all-time (1 is my most finished It multiple times game period) and I don't think I could finish any of the 3 in under 25 hours. Each. I probably just get too caught up in collecting all the missiles, scanning 100%, reading, and justvibing to the atmosphere/music.
that's wild though, impressive work.
I was getting that error code whenever I tried to download the GBG demo but thankfully it just started working. Was legit worried I wouldn't be able to download anything on my Switch anymore. 😅
