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

Because Nintendo has a creativity crisis. All we get are Mario 3D, Mario Bros, Zelda, Pikmin, DK, Yoshi, Kart, Smash...
They even recycle old games of these franchises. WW remake, Super Mario 3D looks like a Mario Bros, seriously, after playing SM Galaxy 1 and 2, 2 of the best games ever made, this is a BUMMER.

I would say the same about Playstation if we'd only get Gran Turismo, Crash, Spyro, Syphon Filter, Twisted Metal and Medievil since 1995. But we don't. That's the difference.

Yeah, as playstation fans you also gets Uncharted 1, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3, as well as SSB clones and Mario Kart clones. That's cool.

The thing is that Nintendo don't have creativity crisis. They ALWAYS re-invent their franchises. Just take a look at the 3D Marios; no one is the other one alike. The same goes for Zelda. THAT is creativity. Take something familiar and make it new. But I have to agree with you; RIGHT NOW it seems as if they can't come up with something new. I made athread about that yesterday, saying that the only NEW things we saw was MK8 and X.

And, having spoken dialogues doesn't make a game BETTER. Certain games don't NEED the voice acting. But I agree, Nintendo should really think long and hard about what they should do with Zelda in this regard...
