why Mario Kart? why does that game only need one per system and not the others you mentioned? Cant be sales cause the Wii did about as well as the games you mentioned or better. Hell even the 3ds one is doing good.

Because Mario Kart isn't going to change much on the same system, so it would feel redundant to quite a lot of people, I imagine. It wouldn't go beyond the status of an expansion pak with new tracks, so if new tracks is what you want, you might as well welcome DLC in this day and age.

Super Mario Bros. on the other hand is the series that builds the Mario universe. Nintendo can (and should) create entire new worlds, so sequels are justified. Wii Sports is so broad of a theme that new sports can be added which again justifies sequels. The Wii Fit brand is also broad enough of a theme to make more titles.

I know that other companies release games yearly with little to no changes (most notoriously EA), but Nintendo doesn't have the resources to make constant sequels to everything, so my suggestion is to make cuts where appropriate (MK, SSB) and focus on sequels to series that would benefit Nintendo and gamers alike (SMB, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Zelda, Metroid and others). MK and SSB both draw their content from other series, they don't really have their own.

@kitler53: I remember that chat and Mr Khan basically already said what I was going to say. We'll see if Nintendo's output increases or only stays level now that they are going to make HD titles.

I get that Mario Kart isnt going to change that much, but why make cutbacks on that or SSB? THere have only been three SSB and only one Ninty system gets a MK game. There is only a few of those per gen anyway.

I was going to say that you could say the same for Mario Bros. as they pretty much recycle the same worlds, but there are some new ones they can make, which i havent seen yet. WiiSeries, fair enough.
