^There is no universe or alternative reality anywhere in my imagination where Mario DOES NOT launch a new Nintendo console (yes, ill ask you to forget all the previous console launches without Mario now), least of all a type of generational leap into High Definition.
The problem for me, and the one id assume Nintendo have already made a decision on, is whether a redesigned Mario game is a good idea for HD graphics. I think Mario games have to look different now, but i don't know how different, and id assume after Skyward and Epic Yarn Nintendo know what they're doing.
“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.
