Currently playing Black 2 and I can assure Mr Iwata it isn't even remotely innovative, yet it's still selling by the millions. Still greatly enjoying it though, but if he thinks its innovation that makes games like Mario Kart and Pokemon sell millions then he's horribly mistaken. It's just that the fans absolutely love the franchises. If they re-release Blue and Red again in 3D for the 3DS, i'd probably buy it along with millions of other people. It's kind of sad now that I think about it. You'll often find in the games industry it's not really the innovative games that push the units off shelves, but I wouldn't say this issue pertains exclusively to Nintendo games.
