thx1139 said: Nice article, but I feel as for Nintendo titles and sequels the article misses one big difference that Nintendo titles for the most part ignore. Nintendo titles dont have stories they are telling. Mario Kart Wii - no story NSMBWii - Well not no story but every Mario title has the same story Wii Sports - no story Wii Sports Resort - no story The 3rd party titles and 1st party titles on other consoles try to tell a story and then people want to experience the continuance of the story. Even Zelda falls to this to some extent. Nintendo wants to avoid stories, because they feel they then will have more need for sequels during a generation. Sports titles are a little different. Publishers rely on the fact that sports nuts want updated rosters each year to reflect the real teams. |
This is a thread about videogames. Not literature. Not to mention it doesn't really make much sense.
