The Ghost of RubangB said: Well, if you're sick of sequelitis like I am, then shovelware and ports are more appetizing than "MAJOR SEQUELS" to old and busted franchises. I think it's actually PS360's turn to get something as new and unique as Elebits or bring back a long-dead genre with a new IP like Zack and Wiki. I really don't see a problem here on the Wii front, unless I had some sort of disease that meant I needed 5 new games per month. Besides, I've got hundreds of old games to catch up with anyway. |
Uhhh....Mario? Zelda? Metroid? Discounting Final Fantasy because in actuality, each installation is a legitimately separate game, but the "MAJOR SEQUELS" of which you speak on the PS3/360 are at 4, maybe 5 for each series. Mario Galaxy is proabaly like Super Mario World 20 or something like that if ti were given a number.
And if you want to talk about bringing in fresh IPs and such, go play LBP or maybe some XBLA or PSN games

You can level the sequelitis complaint at Zelda to a certain degree and Mtroid to a lesser one, but we've had one major Mario game per gen since the SNES and all of them have been more or less completely different experiences.

Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2 (the remake of Lost Levels), Super Mario bros. 3, Super Mario Land (GB) Super Mario Land 2 (GB), Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy
Not to mention all the other stuff with "Mario" in it. And I don't think the core gameplay has changed much between any of those games, other than the jump from 2D to 3D
