| RolStoppable said: Nintendo doesn't want to make these games anymore, that's all there is to it. 1) Miyamoto has said that he does not wish to make more Super Mario Bros., instead he wants games like Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D Land to take over. 2) Aonuma does not like The Legend of Zelda. He called it a game that is not for him, hence why he makes something else. 3) Sakamoto viewed Metroid: Other M as a successor to Super Metroid and "fixed" some of the "broken" mechanics, like enemies dropping health and ammo which according to him was a boring and repetitive element of the Metroid series. 4) Maybe some of the younger Nintendo developers would want to make games like the NES classics, because they grew up with these games. However, as long as the old guard has a say, the young guns won't be allowed to do so. |
1. I know Miyamoto has become a bit vocal at times when it comes to SMB, simply because he wants to explore other ideas too. It's kind of like a band that is stuck playing one song over and over because it's their biggest hit, yet they want their fans to hear other songs they've written as well. The thing is, I believe that you're blowing the whole "Miyamoto hates SMB" thing out of proportion. Has he ever in fact actually said that he adamantly wishes not to make any more?
2. I know that Aonuma has said this before, and that he's never finished the game (which I will agree is blasphemy; it should be a prerequisite for working at Nintendo), but I also read that he did like ALttP, which surely must mean something regarding that subject.
3. Ok, I'll give you that...
4. Wouldn't it be the other way around? It seems to me that the younger people would be more accustomed to the newer types of games and that the older members (who grew up playing the now retro stuff), would be more partial to the classic style.
