I'm hoping this game does well and that it goes on to continued success. Nintendo is treating it well with proper advertising and marketing as if it were already one of their "major" IP. The testfires certainly convinced me on the game after being on the ropes about it. That being said, newer IPs lack the nostalgia feel for Nintendo that Mario or Zelda have. I think it will do better than Pikmin and will go on to be a somewhat staple in their lineup. The universe and gamestyle fit perfectly with Nintendo.
