OP complains about sequel after sequel.

People recommend Nintendo.

wat.

Well, you can't claim that Nintendo (for better or for worse in a lot of cases) is not trying to constantly re-invent the wheel in its franchises. It may all be Metroid, but Metroid II is not Metroid Prime is not Prime Hunters is not Other M. Similarly Super Mario World is not Super Mario Galaxy, and each generation of Zelda is hard to recognize compared to before. Then there was StarFox...

It's really only Pokemon. And Kirby.

New Super Mario Bros. series could probably go in the same boat as Pokemon and Kirby.


There's only one NSMB game per console and they all look the exact same. They don't all play the exact same - key difference.



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.
