The confused westerner market is also buying up Hyrule Warriors in DROVES.

It’s insane how little Japan cares for Metroid. The fandom still has a lot of westerners who just want something badass and T-rated so they don’t feel like faggots playing a Nintendo system. I would love to see a brain scan of them when they get lost exploring the Caverns to assess whether they’re actually having fun.

Nintendo knows it’ll sell like 1.85 million or whatever somehow even though Dread sold like 5m but they also know they need to appease the vocal minority of westerners who want their precious FPS

They would’ve been better off never announcing or releasing it. Thats what’s so crazy about this. You can lose face by releasing Games. Thats part of why there are so few Games. It’s less risky to just make fewer games.

Also I keep recalling the analysts’ take on Switch 2 Q4 sales, that it lacked a major western Game. It had fucking Metroid Prime 4 lmao. But mediocre games just get wiped from memory, except when they’re western AAA. Then Outrage is converted to Engagement somehow, as seen with Cyberpunk 2077. Redditors LOVE the comeback story arc. “Phantom Liberty is a tour de force.”

Also it isn’t even much worse than the older ones. It just exposes how overrated the series always was. By not being a 9/10, it detracts from the series’ aura and legacy.
