We'll both probably get a lot of hate from people crying, "As long as it's fun, who cares???" but I agree with you. Scope and depth are exactly what Nintendo games have been lacking. They used to take an idea and really run with it, but now it's all about condensing one idea into a simple, straightforward experience. It's like they just stopped caring to take the time to craft a full game, because everyone was just buying New Super Mario Bros. games anyway.
This is a great example of something that could have been so much more. Instead it's a mini game disguised as a retail game. |
And because they are struggling mightily to recoup the costs of HD games.

Nintendo is in a ton of trouble then. I mean if they really didn't have the foresight to prepare for HD development when basically every single Japanese developer went through it, then something is really wrong.

I think they got overconfident and overlooked these things. I think it was a matter of Nintendo having it's ass on it's chest after the Wii's incredible success. Passing off the increased challenge that HD games bring with the arrogant attitude of "they'll buy Wii Sports and Mario no matter what". They've clearly been - and continue to be - punished harshly for it.
