How many franchises does Tanabe have to destroy before he's fired?

Game could've been the second coming of Christ and it still would've bombed over there. It being "diplomatically mediocre" just solidified that reality.

Prime 4 still would've flopped if it was good. Japan hates everything that makes Prime what it is.

It may seem spaniards are better at making metroid games than the muricans.

2D-CHADS run Metroid.
We need a follow up to Dread. Get this Tanabe slop out of my face.

Metroid was never popular in Japan, yet Dread sold well.
This excuse doesn't fly anymore.

You know that excuse can be used for ANY Western IP, right?
