But since youd prefer a different point, lets take a look at those games. you do realize that those games are contributors to marios poor sales? Accept it. People wanted and found something different. again i will bring up supermario world 2 aka yoshis island, which didnt stay flat. Sales fell! Explain that away. Or do you think mario should be exactly the same formula everytime? Theres only so much they can change before it stagnates and stagnating it was! Take this lesson from kung nintendo. Make the exact same game over and over and you will be fine. |
I see it mostly the same way you do prof. I see Kung's idea, but it's all very hypothetical and based on applying current-day business phenomena to two gens past.
It's at worst wishful thinking, at best a plausible alternate history. But I am not fully convinced myself. The red ocean was much more easy to secure, yet Nintendo failed. Had they not, 3D mario would not have been nutured before coming of age. My 2 cents.
