so Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem didn't surprise anyone...? some memories here are short....

That was surprising to me.


also Yoshi's Yarn game looks also totally different then Kriby's Epic Yarn. People love to bitch about the same characters and forget the art styel, aestethics, gameplay mechanics. And still nobody bitches about the first party games from other companies.


Characters are characters. Those new styles should be attributed to newer characters so that they can harness them setting newer standards for newer generations. Theres really no identity to just reskinning games. Its all filler until Nintendo makes a heavy hitter, which are actually fewer than one might think.

how ignorant can someone be. Characters don't change the game. Would it really make a difference if it would have another character? i don't think so. you are just looking for reasons why Nintendo "sucks" nowadays.

New characters are risky as hell too. They don't sell anywhere near as well as an established IP....that's the only change that would come from new characters, lower sales. Much lower. If they come up with an idea that cannot be put into another franchise great, but if not they shouldn't just make one for the hell of it. Prince Puff was originally going to be the star of Epic Yarn, but the character looked so much like Kirby anyway it made sense to change it and have Puff as a sidekick. 

I get the feeling that if Nintendo did create a new character that could be easily replaced with one of their IP's, people would just say "Why didn't they just make this a [Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Star Fox, Kid Icarus, Ice Climber, Fire Emblem, DK, Kirby, Yoshi, etc] game instead?" Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
