Color Splash made me hopeful for the future of Paper Mario, and the Origami King delivered. Color is such a nice step in the right direction after Sticker Star. I really loved its humor!

I don't think I've ever played a Nintendo game that hasn't passed 1 million. Am I a bad person?

Rhythm Heaven Fever. Haven't checked the sales but there's no way that game passed a million.

Pretty much same. Only two I can think of are Samus Returns and Luigi’s Mansion 3DS, and I wasn’t crazy about that port.

Chibi Robo thread? lmao. I loved The Last Story/Pandoras Tower, the Wii U fatal frame is pretty good but the one that should get more love is The Wonderful 101, even if it isnt a nintendo ip anymore that game is such a unique beast, i doubt we will get something like it again. Its so sad that even with a kickstarter, remaster and even youtube ads the game didnt break 1 million.

This is one of the best games Intelligent Systems has ever put out and I will defend it to my deathbed. Steampunk-meets-silver age comic books-meets-historical literature-meets-Abraham Lincoln is an absolutely absurd concept for a strategy game, but the game is so dedicated to mashing these concepts together that (for me at least) it totally works. It is self aware and campy enough to be fun, while also taking itself seriously enough to never feel like a complete joke. The character designs kick ass, the levels are well designed and tense as hell to play through, and the gameplay feels good. Figuring out how to deal with the evolving alien menace and getting a feel for the new mechanics that each new character and sub-weapon you unlock feels incredibly satisfying.
Sadly the game absolutely bombed and will probably never see the light of day again.Special thanks to Smash Ultimate for including a remix of one of the songs from the game, that was an awesome treat.
How was this ever thought of. In Japan someone was like 'lets make a game about a former american president in a steampunk setting. He has his own Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Manace...

Codename STEAM was too good for this world.
Hideki Kamiyas magnum opus, the video game of all video games... the flop of all flops...The Wonderful 101.

Wait, is Megamix the only game in the series to get past a million sales? For some reason, I always assumed Fever was the best-selling RH game.

I think Fever sold over 700k in Japan so it still sold well, but it really flopped in the west it seems. The DS game is still the highest selling by far reaching the 3 million mark.

I don't think and Starfy games have crossed that threshold, could be wrong, but I know Legendary Starfy sure didn't. That's my pick. It's far from being a challenging game, outside of collectibles, but it's such a charming one. Wish they'd have released more over here.

Chibi-Robo! Enjoyer

I think all of the Chibi-Robo! games qualify for this. I adore them (not a big fan of Zip Lash, but it has SOME things I like about it).
I liked Wario World a lot too... It's not perfect but I would love to see a 3D Wario beat-em-up return in the future in that vein.

I'm happy to announce I remembered a Nintendo game I played that did not sell a million. Zero Mission! That's one of my favorite games of all time so it's definitely that one.
After that ... maybe Wonderful 101 or Samus Returns? Though I played the self published Wonderful 101 Remaster.
....man, why don't you people buy Metroid games

Oh man, I totally forgot about Starfy. Such a fun little platformer, i wish they’d put the others on NSO even if they’re untranslated.

Picked this up for a fiver and had more fun with it than a bunch of games I've bought collector's editions of. Realizing what was actually going on with the aliens is probably the biggest "holy shit" moment I had with any 3DS game.

Close second: Metroid Prime Federation Force. I'm big into Warframe. Federation Force was a LOT like Warframe. Massively improved by playing in multiplayer and with a surprising number of hidden secrets. If the game had handled the mod system better it could have been a genuine hidden gem.

Probably this for me. It's a shame it didn't sold better.
Came out late in the Gamecube's life with not much marketing, still a certified banger and very popular in the FE community today. At this point most of the fandom likely played it on Dolphin.
