"Mario Galaxy met with a collective yawn from the market"


...?? almost 9 million sold...? WTF.

 

...because you need play it to find it boring?

 

 

I bought it, the game is ancient and 98% of the game has been done before.  Unless the next main Mario game shows something -really- new I won't bother with it.

 

Nintendos other games share similar problems.  Doing the same old stuff new ways.  New ways is great, but if you peeled a thousand potatoes each in a new way, you're still peeling potatoes, and it will still become boring very quickly.

But if you start peeling oranges instead then you'll upset all the people who are happy with potatoes.

I think a franchise should stay true to itself.  Mario games are defined by having certain elements and playing in a certain way.  If you're tired of that gameplay then you should play a different game.

To me, all the games in a franchise should share core gameplay.  If you feel like changing that gameplay to be different then you should make a spinoff or create a new franchise.
