Retribution?

I don't get how Nintendo puts out one or more Kirby games every year and all Metroid gets in like 5 years is a spinoff noone asked for. I get that Japan is apparently not crazy for Metroid, but do Kirby games seriously sell well anymore? I feel like I never hear anyone actually talk about them anymore.

I wonder if there are more Yoshi games then Metroid games at this point.

Kirby Games do extremely well. One of the recent games sold over a million.

Here's the truth: Megaman and Metroid don't sell for poo poo, that's the main reason why there's no more games. Not just in Japan. Everywhere.

16 million over 26 years is obviously not doing Mario numbers, but it's still more than most stuff can hope to make, hell it's more than most of Nintendo's other stuff. It's still enough for Nintendo to consider when putting forth new games since Metroid is not niche or wasn't, anyways.

Kirby games are fantastic for the very young crowd, an audience where there isn't very much competition of any real quality. Metroid games have been positioned to compete with other action games featuring emotionally vulnerable supermodel waifus, and there is a ton of competition for that.

Mega man has less of an excuse because there were a shitton of Megaman games at one point that saturated the market and only like three of them did over a million.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
The last Metroid game was 6 years ago and it was loving Other M. Federation Force is going to be a mediocre multiplayer shooter thing that everyone either hates or doesn't care about. Liam is literally the only person I've ever heard say they were looking forward to it. If Metroid were owned by any Japanese company other than Nintendo it would've turned into a pachislot machine by now.

Also while there's a lot of Kirby games, there's the difference between the Kirby Kirby games that come out less often every now and then, and the nonKirby Kirby games which are just Kirby slapped onto a gimmick that wouldn't sell without him.

Ah yes, all those traditional Kirby games like Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and Kirby's Air Ride

No, it's just going to be a really lovely multiplayer handheld FPS that's using Metroid Prime's name because Nintendo refuses to actually put forth any real money for a legit new Metroid game and is also sending this game to basically die because no Metroid fan is actually going to buy it. So when it does fail they're going to be like "Well I guess the Metroid name just doesn't sell anymore."

they seem to be making DMC 5, actually

Kirby games sell consistently well, particulalrly in Japan, and there's also a crazy huge Japanese merch machine for Kirby that necessitates regular games.

Metroid games sold fine (until Other M), they just cost more to make than most other Nintendo franchises that sell the same amount, many of which are developed by the same team that makes Metroid games.
