Why is there barely any mike fans?

I think it probably comes down to one of the following:

1. He's got less 'design' appeal than other popular characters in the series. Unfortunately, being 'attractive' seems to be a major part of your popularity in this series, unless you're either known for the interesting microgames (9-Volt, 18-Volt), or Wario.

2. His microgames are microphone based, and that mechanic is not particularly popular. Given that the microgames a character hosts have a large effect on their popularity and characters hosting controversial mechanics tend to be villified for it*, that's not worked out well for Mike as a character.

* See Navi, Kaepora Gaebora, Fi, Fluzzard, the giant bosses in Mario & Luigi Dream Team and LOG from Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts.

Hard to say really though.
 
he's not a sexy milf
This is hilarious and sadly true at the same time. @CM30 makes excellent points I agree with as well, though I’d like to add that aside from Touched and Gold (to a degree) he has very little screen time with story segments. That alone right there will have some people not give the character consideration at all.
 
I loved him in Touched, his song is fire :dancingspacebunny:
He was my second favorite character after Ashley for a while.

I don't remember him getting any screen time in Smooth Moves or Game & Wario though, so I lost interest in him.
 
I think it's because of the microphone controls. I dunno why, but many people don't seem to enjoy this style of input. (But I definitely do!)
And also, he used to be the only character related to Dr. Crygor before Penny stole the show.
