![]() I will hard disagree with you on all points here but maybe if you read through my comment you'll be able to see why what you're saying is just fundamentally flawed.Įither way, my take on it is the game is fantastic and definitely deserved the attention it received. A remaster doing this well (especially the fact that it did better than Dead Space Remake, which by the way is probably the most comparable game on the list to it here so please don't even bring up Hogwarts), yeah, these numbers are bonkers. I would like to just point out that this game is a REMASTER and was shadow dropped with barely no initial marketing other than the Direct it was announced in. I have invested almost 100 hours into Hollow Knight this year alone, but that doesn't mean I won't be ecstatic to pick up Silksong when it launches this year.Ĥ. I love Metroidvanias and I would be excited as hell to play 4 even if I get to play 2/3 remade this year as well. The distrust with not being able to pick up and enjoy Prime 4 after having played Prime 1 Remastered is just bizarre and sounds like an entirely personal problem. I, for one, got the digital and am in absolutely no rush to get the physical as of yet.ģ. Like everyone on this article has mentioned, this is not including digital sales and considering this game was released digital some time ago, it's likely close to being either first or second worldwide if those copies are considered as well. It's like being surprised that Xenoblade Definitive didnt beat out a new GTA game. It's behind Hogwarts, which is going to be popular as hell in the UK for ages because of many reasons, it's asinine to believe ANY Metroid would beat out that game in the UK even months after release. Mon 6th Mar I think you're just hitting a case of not looking at the whole picture.ġ.ermm Gamecube with its notoriously low install base. Dread will be one of them - which didnt shadow drop on eShop so err no, that isnt a good strategy afterall! Also, Prime on the Gamecube sold twice as many. I'm a huge Metroid fan, but sorry, how is that statement being positioned as a GOOD thing?! There are 3 Metroid games that sold better than this. "Fourth biggest launch of a Metroid title". I'm playing it?! If you need an Expansion Pass game release for NSO, how about putting an N64 game out instead?! It makes NO SENSE!! why are Nintendo putting Metroid Fusion out on GBA now?! I've got a Metroid game guys. Metroid Prime 4 is going to have to be incredible to be a commercial success.Īnd another thing. Talk about piling pressure on Retro Studios too. I hope Nintendo know what they're doing here because I'm playing an excellent Prime Remastered game on Switch and I'm scratching my head as to how Metroid Prime 4 is going to tempt me back because I don't want to play more of the same. Prime 2 then did around 1.2 million and Prime 3 is below 1m. Original Prime did around 2.5m units on Gamecube back in the day. My biggest concern for Metroid right now is how this will impact on Prime 4. I hope loads of people, like myself, bought it digitally. That puts Metroid at below 10k units, which is a poor attach rate for the Switch hardware. Coming second is all good and well, but not when you're sandwiched between two games that have been sold for a long time already. The split here leans heavily towards Sony's platform, making up 89% on PS5, 7% on PS4, and 5% on Xbox Series X/S (though it's worth remembering that Wo Long is a Day One Game Pass launch). The only other newcomer this week is Team Ninja's Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, which enters the charts at number eight. ![]() The Switch version of Team Asano's RPG is still dominating over the PlayStation, accounting for 81% of the platform split. Looks like the shadow drop strategy worked- Christopher Dring March 5, 2023Ĭonsidering the title shadow dropped digitally beforehand, this is still an impressive debut!Įlsewhere, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe slipped down to sixth place this week, while Octopath Traveler II fell out of the top ten entirely to land at number fourteen. But of course, the Remaster launched digitally weeks ago. Launch sales are around half of what the original did in 2003. The physical launch of Metroid Prime Remastered is the fourth biggest launch for the series in the UK. ![]() According to Chris Dring from Games Industry, this also makes Metroid Prime Remastered the fourth biggest boxed launch of the entire franchise. After a few weeks of digital exclusivity on the Nintendo Switch, Metroid Prime Remastered has finally landed in retail stores across the UK.Īlthough the release wasn't quite enough to knock Hogwarts Legacy off its throne, Retro Studios' shooter managed to take the silver, selling around half of what the original managed back in 2003.
