Most nintendo games do not have the cast of characters, story or atmosphere of games like bioschock infinite or mass effect. Nor the freedom, exploration, replayability of skyrim. Things should change with their future releases.

They probably shouldn't Nintendo likes to milk their titles. It tends to help the IP last through the generations.

You got that backwards. Nintendo doesn't milk their titles, that's why they have staying power. How often has Nintendo released 3+ entries of the same series on one and the same system? Then ask the same for other companies.

Nintendo has so many different versions of mario games that milk can be applied to them. They are treated differently than most because of this. Their world revolves around mario and a couple of other franchises. Once Rare left they were stripped down to the bare essentials of what they are.
