made some pertinent notes on metacritic scores. also: pushmo world nes remix 1+2 (and possible snes remix) mario maker (new whether you like it or not) shovel knight (since you're including indies) affordable space adventures sportsball runbow a.n.n.e. beatbuddy
about 'sticking mario' into or onto things, i'd say that's just savvy marketing. when we talk about 'new ip' it's an incredibly legalistic and small-bore way of looking at it. what you want are not necessarily new faces with the same old gameplay, but new gameplay ideas regardless of what the skin on it is, mario or whatever. metroid prime is not 'new ip' technically, but it was completely different from super metroid; super mario 64 or galaxy were not 'new ip' neccessarily, but were radically different from super mario world, and all three were revolutionary for the industry in their own way. right now the only 'original and strong ip' on ps4 i'd play is resogun, and that was a free downloadable title at launch... |
I did say nintendo-published titles, rules out shovel knight.
Metacritic is bullshit, if you live your life judging games by what other people say about them, then you arent gonna play some of the best games out there.
Mario maker - not a new ip since it's mario.
My point is - New IP's sell consoles, or atleast generate a REASON to buy a console over another.
And you're blind if you cant see that. "basically dead souls 3" Well then battlefield is basically cod, and EA sports tennis is basically virtua tennis.
People, not like you, more like me, when they see mario on yet another title, are put off.
Cause some people really want new experiences.
New worlds new characters.
Two of the biggest selling games this gen have been new ip's. Watch_Dogs and Destiny.
It's the reason wii u is failing and will continue to fail if nintendo just publishes 'mario sequels' from wii, ds, nes, n64 era etc.
Driveclub didnt review well. People still bought it, a lot of people bought it.
Why? Cause it's a new experience. A new title that offers something new rather than an updated version of an old game.
Games dont have to be 90+ on metacritic to be good.

Open your eyes. As a wii u fan, you need to accept it. Because it's the only way nintendo will accept it and change their business for the better.
They need to start creating new worlds in their own studio, and partner with smaller studios to publish their new worlds.
