Mario galaxy, mario 3d land & pokemon white/black: Some people can only see those games as mario 29 and pokemon 73, but in all honesty, is there any other dev capable of making that many sequels and still get praise from gamers and reviewers alike?... |
I think this is exactly how I see those games. I only played the first Marios from NES & SNES. I didn't get attached to Mario as a character and moved on pretty quickly. I will also add that I didn't get attached to Link from Zelda either. When I see a new Zelda or Mario game, I just roll my eyes. I'm probably missing out on something good, but I didn't get attached to the characters then, and they don't appeal to me now as man in my 30's.
Having said that, Let me just congratulate Nintendo for being successful in the way they do things. I don't know much in the specifics, but I know they sell plenty of those Mario/Pokemon/Zelda games, and it must be for a good reason. I think its foolish to bash Nintendo for coming up with winning formulas that sell well.
