Games that 'break the formula' (that also applies to Sony, MS and pretty much any developer)..for example, the game that made Nintendo a powerhouse when they started with the NES, 2D Mario.Remember how each iteration introduced lots of different things.Mario 2 is very different from the original Mario Bros, Mario 3 introduced a world map, Bowser kids, etc...Mario World, while playing it safer, introduced Yoshi and ghost houses...and each one also introduced lots of different music.Now, what do they do with the NSMB series?...they recycle lots of things, there's no 'soul', no 'magic' like the NES/SNES games had.
