This is why Nintendo has lost me over the past generation. They have no problem releasing rehashed Mario and Pokemon games every couple of years because the kids and casuals buy them by the boatload and they can put minimal effort into them, but when it comes to less "popular" franchises like F-Zero that the loyal core fans clamor for, they come up with lame excuses as to why they currently have no plans to release new installments.
This totally explains them releasing Fire Emblem: Awakening, right?
Mainly because that would require some actual effort on their part, and God forbid they actually advertise their games so that people other than the most loyal of the loyal Nintendo fans know they even exist.
Because making the popular games they do takes no effort whatsoever to make, right? That's why all the knock-offs of Mario do SO well, and are such top-notch quality, right? Because it's just so easy to do. Obviously Nintendo only makes Mario and Pokemon. Right?
Hey Nintendo fans... want a sequel to the cult classic Eternal Darkness, a true StarFox game, or a new F-Zero racer with awesome track design, visuals and music? Well fuck you... here's Mario Kart 8 and a simplistic 3D Mario game... deal with it!
You didn't hear? A soul successor of Eternal Darkness IS coming. Oh, and Mario Kart 8 seems to have a lot of work put into it, and Super Mario 3D World isn't simplistic unless you want to think of it that way. Watch the GameXplain videos and you'll see a lot went into making Super Mario 3D World.
