It was an incredibly polished new IP for Nintendo released during the 3DS’s heyday and was packed with tons of worthwhile content right out of the box. So I’m having a little trouble explaining why it’s largely forgotten nowadays.
Was it because it was a new IP? But Nintendo’s had plenty of successful new IPs over the last 10 years like Splatoon, ARMS, Astral Chain, and Ring Fit Adventure, so it probably can’t be that.
Was it because it was a turn based strategy game? Well I mean so was Fire Emblem and that was a massive success on the 3DS, that should go without saying.
Was it because of poor marketing? Well it got a decent amount of trailers, was spotlighted in a couple Nintendo Directs prior to launch and even in one Direct after launch, and it was even one of the first Nintendo games ever to support Amiibo.
