"Fan boys are too love struck to admit it, but Nintendo tricks us into playing the same exact video games every year."
I hate to say it but i think this is way to honest, not that i don't think this is actually the case sometimes.
Thank god SMG changed my mind about derivitive Nintendo platformers. TP did not, it was too samey.
But as Yahtzee said, every game this year was a goddamned sequel, Nintendo is no worse than EA or whoever. They've just been doing it longer is all.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
