Mania gets pushed by a very loud vocal minority. The sales wont reflect the hype.

The gaming populous at large isn't interested in half baked remixes of old 16 bit games. You can pull off some 2D appeal if you make it actual HD but the crowd of fanatics specifically looking for twenty five year old pixelation isn't big enough to support an ongoing franchise.

You're likely very wrong in that assumption. Mania is already at the top of the Switch's sales charts and I suspect it'll be pretty high on other charts as well. Its collectors edition was $50 and it sold out completely.

The game is only $20, so it wouldn't be unrealistic to say that the "hype" is probably real. There have been hundreds on forums and social media who haven't even remote interest in the series speaking to how good the game is (definitely a lot more than that in reality) and it has received amazing reviews all around. I see Mania selling close to 1 million rather easily.

That being said, Forces will definitely sell even more than that.
