@RalNoblesse well, there were a couple reasons for poor sales: the 3ds was on a sharp decline when this game released because of the switch, the metroid series hadn't gotten a main entry in over 10 years, and the series doesn't usually sell well in japan regardless.

Noooo this is one of the best "2D" Metroids ever!

Its just less (cinematic-)dramatic than other 2D Metroids, but converts the true / oldschool feeling better than any (side of the original NES version)

Must have been "too frustrating"? for some ... otherwise can not explain those low numbers (and the "boom" of very pretty and cheap Castleroids probably stole the show a bit too

Nintendo schould launch this in Switch as a download too (if not already happend), but at a fair price too

These sales are a bit sad! It is a game that should have come out in Switch.

250k in 2 weeks, for comparison sake Federation Force sold less than 25k in that period of time, so at least nintendo is getting the message that you can sell 10 times better if you do a Metroid people actually wants. It seems to be holding on well in Europe and decently in NA, let's hope it keeps holding on for a while.
