>what is this meme, Metroid was a massive hit on the FDS.
It sold about a million but half of that was from the Disk Writer re-release that came out several years later and which was a budget release (equivalent of 5 bucks).
Most Disk Writer releases that weren't complete sholveware sold really well due to their cheapness, with similar or better numbers.
>ALSO Super Metroid outsold most FE games on the SNES, and those normally sell well in Japan.
It's head to head with Holy War and sold almost 250k less than Mystery of the Emblem.
Either way 500k for an SFC first party game put it in the mid-tier, it wasn't a total disaster but not a huge success.
