| RolStoppable said: I guess you are right when you say that they can't pull it off. Inti Creates who has been in charge of several Mega Man games doesn't get it quite right. You are also right about NSMB Wii not changing this perception. It will be written off as anomaly or "well, it's Mario" and that's really sad. Third parties surrender before even trying, but trying is what actually created most series we still know today. I don't think I am asking for too much. This could be done with low risk. If it works, companies could win big time. If it doesn't work, it's not a big deal. |
I agree; unfortunately, I don't think companies are actually as risk-adverse as they claim (or they wouldn't be pumping tens of millions into "potential" blockbusters). I'm convinced that most developers simply don't want to make 2D games anymore, so they'll come up with whatever excuse they can.
