| eab said: It’s true that they don’t release that many new IPs but there sequels are more than “sequels”. Is Mario 64 really a sequel to Super Mario World? Seriously, try to find any similarities besides the characters. That’s an extreme example but still, when Nintendo makes sequels it’s like it’s not like Guitar Hero 1&2, or San Andreas and Vice City (what are the differences between these two games exactly?). Nintendo does make sequels that are just that (Metroid Prime 1 and 2) but a lot of the time they really change the fundamentals of the game. Mario 64 was running in open levels, Sunshine was thoroughly bizarre, and Galaxy was in space. Can you really call these sequels like you call Halo 2 and 3 sequels? |
I agree with your points here...they do change things up and switch the gameplay or add a new mechanic or 2. But I don't know...somehow it just feels the same to me. Like story of these games is usually exactly the same, and the feel too... I'd love to see Nintendo do something diferent other than clean family fun entertainment.
Imagine games like god of war or Bioshock were made by Nintendo...how awesome would that be?
Also, Halo 1,2,3 were the introduction to the series...just like Mario 1,2,3 on nintendo. Halo Wars comes out next and I don't think that will be the same at all.
