3DWorld actually looks fun, and I'm sure you've played 3DLand you'll know that it's a fun game and nothing of low quality like what some other publishers make on Nintendo consoles, it's still good old Nintendo fun. It just isn't Galaxy-caliber quality, but it's great nonetheless. Nintendo doesn't have, never had the desire to pump Sony-like high-production titles on and on. They don't want to do that because it is a lousy business practice. They do offer high-production titles when they see it bringing in returns in terms of expectations and sales. That's why the quote from Iwata was important. “Take The Legend of Zelda franchise, for example, the fans must be looking for the graphic representations that they do not see as cheap at all when the title is released for the Wii U. When it is necessary, we do not hesitate to role out our resources.” |
They don't need to produce expensive games like Sony does, but what I expect is for each game they release to be special in some way. They probably won't fall back on storyline, so they'll have to achieve it through ideas and innovations. They don't need a $100 million budget to make an interesting, unique title. It'd also be nice if they could finish their games more quickly while retaining a certain standard of excellence that I've come to expect from Nintendo.
In addition to that, a game doesn't have to be expensive to be aesthetically pleasing. I would count it as a plus if Nintendo were to start putting a bit more effort into the presentation of their Mario titles. They did it with Mario Galaxy, their RPG titles, and even Mario Strikers, but most of them are starting to feel a bit bland.
