And even though Nintendo wasn't as good at appealing to the market that Microsoft appealed to, at least if they offered something they could have picked up some of the scraps. The Nintendo core I talked about in the 15m core on the Nintendo console, those are the NinCore. I'm talking about the traditional core that migrated onto the PS platform during the SNES exodus and that grew and later split-migrated to the 360 during the PS3 launch fail. As for offering those kinds of exclusives, Retro could easily have replaced DKCR with a tradcore title and it wouldn't have hindered any of Nintendo's output. You can say they are the undisputed winner, but most will not agree with you. They are the winner, that's not being disputed, but they're not the Undisputed winner, meaning people can still claim certain things against the victory. For example, that the HD twins combined sold more than the Wii. The PS2 was therefore a stronger winner, as was the DS. The Wii did not win in the red ocean market, that's something the PS2 pulled off. The Wii won off of the casual market, which does not hold as much respect where the debate matters. |
A lot of people had been waiting a long time for a new DKC game, and when it turned up, it was arguably the best 2D platformer of its generation. Ignoring that it was developed by Retro, it is the wrong game to focus on in this way, because taking something at the peak of its genre out of the lineup is only going to hinder things.
You don't look to replace the best with something of "similar" quality. You look to replace the weak with better.
