The BEST Nintendo Games that FLOPPED!

Nintendo has been one of the most influential companies in gaming history, but not every great Nintendo game turned into a sales hit. In this video, we take a deep dive into Nintendo’s best games that failed commercially — titles that had incredible gameplay, strong reviews, and passionate fanbases, but ultimately struggled due to poor marketing, bad timing, or being stuck on the wrong console.

We’ll cover legendary franchises like the Mario & Luigi RPG series, including Superstar Saga and Bowser’s Inside Story, which despite being critically acclaimed, saw their remakes flop on the 3DS because they missed the booming Switch audience. We’ll look at cult classics like Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U, a masterpiece that never reached its sales potential until later remasters gave it a second life. We’ll also break down overlooked gems like Metroid: Samus Returns, a fantastic reimagining that was doomed by poor timing and the shadow of Nintendo’s shutdown of AM2R. And of course, we’ll touch on how series like Fire Emblem nearly ended forever before Awakening revived it.

If you’ve ever wondered why some of the best Nintendo RPGs, JRPGs, and remakes failed despite their quality, this is the video for you. From the downfall of AlphaDream, the studio behind Mario & Luigi, to the underwhelming sales of Metroid games before Dread, these stories highlight how even Nintendo can miss the mark.
