Why does there need to be a gimmick to justify a sequel? Why can't they just make a normal F-Zero? If the reason is commercial success then say that; don't set out to mislead your fans.


You misuse the word "gimmick."  

c : a trick or device used to attract business or attention


That describes the Wii...just omit the trick part.

Doesnt that actually describe anything sold to consumers?


 No. A gimmick tends to be a short lived trend or fad created with the sole purpose of luring a market of people. The Wii was made to lure people who dont game. It was created to simplify the process so they are no longer alienated from enjoying games. Sales show it really didnt matter, except for the Wii Fit, Wii Sports and stuff like that. Moms everywhere were going Gaga for Wii fit until Microsoft launched the Kinect. 

No u said device used to attract business or attention, thay Iis the sole purpose of every single thing that is sold.
