Why people assume that making a new Donkey Kong is lazy or lacks effort?

BRB, just checking what people thought of Donkey Konga and DK Jet Race / Barrel Blast.

In fairness, those are no more Donkey Kong games* than Mario sports/party/kart games are Mario games.*

 

*Mainline platformers. Or as mainline as the shitstorm that's DK64 can pretend to be. Can't believe Boutros, or anyone, likes that game. :-/
