So, now that the year is almost over, what was the greatest vidya flop of 2016?

>No Man's Sky
>Mighty no. 9
>Battleborn
>Metroid Prime Federation Force
>Paper Mario Color Splash
>Mafia III
>Homefront the Revolution
>Street Fighter V
>Pokémon GO

flopped so bad no one remembers it

Metroid Prime no contest

It got a fucking petition to get cancelled, that's all you should need to know.

Nu male Sly was a funny trainwreck, Mighty Nu male 9 too

Battleborn.
Nobody bought it and was completely overshadowed by Overwatch.
No Man's Sky and Pokemon Go shouldn't be on the list.
They got their money. People are still playing pokeGo.

If you want NMS to be on this list then that list should be changed to Blunders.

At least you can laugh at Battleborn's failure.

Federation Force didn't go out with a bang or a whimper, it's like it didn't even exist in the first place.

Memeborn

I want to drink Randy Pitchford's tears

Did this even came out in 2016?

>dat baby feet

Out of those, NMS in terms of hype and the lack of delivery. In actuality, it should be FFXV or The Last Guardian because both took a literal decade and both are pieces of shit.

Yes, came out during the summer.

It died even faster than Battleborn.

why the fuck do his lower legs just suddenly cut in like that, or are his entire legs like tiny sticks ?

the fuck were they thinking holy shit

I've been seeing things about Battleborn that make me lean in that direction. If not, than No Man's Sky and Might No. 9

Thing is, people went into Metroid and Paper Mario with low expectations. Mighty No. 9 and NMS failed so hard they became memes.

Battleborn simply because of the implications its failure has for Gearbox.

Federation Force sold less than 4000 copies in his first week.

It sold maybe 50k overall. That is a harsh flop.

Colour Splash sold roughly 300k, making it bad, but not the worst.

>Mafia 3

it was bad but I wish there was something about organized crime in the south in the 30s through the 50s.

I love how everyone except for Nintendo saw a thousand miles away that both these games had no chance of being a commercial success.

I was thinking more in terms of scale. I don't know the overall sales of most of the games on the list so if it really did sell that poorly, then you have a point.

>A controversial Wii U game sold more than a (admittedly still controversial) 3DS game
I know it's Mario, but that's still embarrassing.

I love how metroid ff just disappeared from any form of official marketing, it's like it never existed. Usually they try to push sales via social media and emails even months after its release.

this design is great shut the FUCK up

...

holy shit you actually did fix it

Nintendo is run by idiotic old men.

Zero Time Dilemma

At least we got some dank maymays to dope the disappointment.

Worst part is that Metroid and Paper Mario were actually pretty solid games.

I feel like Paper Mario at least sold decently. Metroid would've been a hard sell, even with Samus. Not because of the games but because many people really don't care about Metroid.

>Worst part is that Metroid and Paper Mario were actually pretty solid games.

user are you drunk? I know it's New Year's Eve but lay off the booze, you're not thinking straight.

In terms of pure finance, Mafia III. That game needed to sell 8 million just ot breka even, and it sold 1 million

Pokemon GO was the greatest flop in terms of size. Technically, there are still people playing, but it's probably only about 1% of the people who started playing it. I've never seen a game go from being deemed as the single greatest game ever made by such a wide audience to being completely forgotten about. It would've been so easy to keep that money train going, and Niantic took any opportunity and chucked it out the window.

No Man's Sky is literally just Starbound on a bigger scale, but aside from Pokemon GO it's probably the most remembered flop of the year.

Mighty No. 9 was pathetic through and through. Nobody with any semblance of logic had faith in that game in 2016.

Federation Force was also pathetic, but with modern Nintendo, you just have to expect it.

Same with Color Splash.

The problem is Japanese work culture. Even if everyone at the HQ knows something is shit, if the boss (miyamoto, and iwata back then), they just cannot say anything about it, they need to just bow and accept it.
That's why so many nintendo games (specially modern ones) have extremely weird design choices.

Nu Males Sky takes the cake.

>Metroid Prime Federation Force
>Paper Mario Color Splash

Those 2 can't be flops, because they were never meant to be good in the first place

I thought the New Orleans setting was comfy as fuck but the game was so repetitive.

Pokemon Go is the highest grossing app on the apple store, and is still in the top 5 on android. The hype is gone, but they're still rolling in tons of money from the cash shop. This is even more impressive when you realize that the only reason most apps reach the top through aggressive advertising. Pokemon Go has very little.

That sounds like complete bullshit. No way they expected it to sell that many copies.

biggest disappointment? no
disappointing? yes
i still liked it but it still has some fairly big flaws
thank god for steins;gate zero though

Dark Souls 3

Mario run
