Bigger and better things than some of the biggest names in gaming history? Seriously? I give Nintendo a pass on their 'rehashed' games, because a lot of times, they're not rehashed. They're new. Or take a new angle to an old formula. And think about it. When's the last true DK game released? N64? Kirby, I can't even remember. Last console game was a racer. Kid Icarus, we thought that franchise was dead and gone.
So while Nintendo SHOULD make new, 'hardcore' franchises, all I really care about are solid fun games. And I expect some solid fun games in the form of Metroid Other M, Kid Icarus, Kirby (I can't believe how badly I'm wanting this game! Maybe because Paper Mario may be one of my all time fav franchises). And to be blunt, the whole industry has followed this trend for years. Capcom, EA possibly being the biggest offenders of this crime.
