I'm curious as to where you're getting those game budget figures from? If MP4 has a 150m budget then Nintendo will need to sell over 25m copies to recoupe the cost. And to be honest, MP4 will have a hard time reaching 3m total sales, never mind 25m.
Samus Returns had an attach rate of less than 1%, fewer than 750k copies sold on a platform with 75m consoles in the wild. Historically, the Metroid series has never sold like other A-tier Nintendo franchises.
Oh my gosh, I can’t believe how PERFECT the controls are in Pikmin 3, and the HD Rumble!
They NAILED the controls. The GYRO POINTER option feels exactly like the Wiimote! It’s so good! And the HD rumble is IMMACULATE. It’s absolutely fantastic. Paper Mario had some great HD rumble but this may be just as good. They really nailed it.
What a high quality release. They went all in on this and made it the best possible game Pikmin 3 could be. To ANYONE who hasn’t played Pikmin 3 before, go download that demo! Just be sure to switch to Gyro Pointer in the Settings.

I was never that fond of the pointer controls. I think it's largely due to the fact I played Pikmin 3 before the original 2. I just got so used to the touchscreen.
I don't think I used pointer controls on Wii U. I guess I didn't think it was a good fit (at least on paper). Guess I could try Deluxe's demo.
You should. If they actually are even close to what the Wiimote controls were, it should be great. I adored the motion controls for Pikmin 3 so much. It was like the most natural thing for Wii motion controls I've played outside of pointer controlled shooters and certain sports games. Absolutely effortless, I don't know how we played Pikmin before this.
Though I'm always surprised people complained about the Wii U gamepad for it. I found it really fun to have it next to me and bring it up for those certain story sections and the map useage and the camera. It was the secondary controller, but going back and forth for different uses was pretty fun I felt (barring the brief second the game took to register you were switching).
Oh, I thought Pikmin was spelled with a D. This isn't the game I was expecting
Actually, I haven't tried Pikmin yet. I'll try it tonight. Lately, online action is the only thing that's been holding my attention (Rocket League). I had been really looking forward to 3D All-Stars, got it, but haven't had the bandwidth for it. I don't know why.
@Magician i came with this estimative based on all the hirings of people of the highest calibre and my knowlege in game development, since i have done a course in game development, game like Metroid Prime 4 is problaby gonna be very expensive for Nintendo to make.
@JaxonH how Pikmin 3 Deluxe play in Handheld Mode?since i play all my games and games my cousin lent me in Handheld Mode, does Pikimin 3 Deluxe use the Touch Screen of Switch or a similar control scheme of Pikimin 1 e 2 on Gamecube?
The gyro pointer option is a bit weird in handheld at first because it emulates pointing a Wiimote, meaning you rotate the system like a steering wheel to move the cursor left and right, since that's how a controller would pivot when pointing at the TV. Once you figure that out though, it works pretty well. Of course, standard controls now work a lot better due to the lock on, so that's a viable method for handheld as well.
