n a recent video interview with Gamespot, president of NOA (Nintendo North America), Reggie Fils-Aime states that “Metroid is a key franchise, and in our view really since the Snes Metroid, we havent broken through in terms of 1.5 - 2 millions units. Thats our bar. Thats the scale that we look at to say on a global basis this is effective.”
Reggie goes on to say that Metroid Other M could be the Metroid title that goes on to break that mark with the game going more into the mythology of Samus.
