You think just because a game isn't a new ip it can't be innovative? Wow...

You obviously never played OoT and MM or SM3DL and SM3DW if you think these games don't have big differences between them.

I guess Metroid Prime wasn't innovative because it was a sequel to Super Metroid. LOL!

And no you didn't answer me, you gave one example (Portal) that didn't make any sense.

Tell me the big differences. I played all those games and they run on the same engine respectively. I liked how you ignored the fact that MM is getting released again and you are trying to say its innovative? please. Sure they have their differences but at the end of the day they are operating on the same frame work with stuff added on it. Thats no more innovative than what COD does Assassin's Creed and just about any game out there. So either they dont innovate or most people do.

Metroid isnt that innovative becasue they just took a game that was 2d and turned into a FP adventure. There were already games like that prior to Metroid Prime. Now if you wanna say thats innovative for THAT series thats fair. But its not like Ninty exists in a vacuum

You haven't played them it seems.

MM: 

- You relive the same 3 days over and over again. At the end of the third day, the moon comes crashing down.

- Focus on masks, especially transformation masks.

- Focus on sidequests with a strict time schedule. Only 4 dungeons.

SM3DW:

- Captain Toad levels

- Cat suit and cherry power ups.

- 4 player multiplayer. Not something you find very often in a 3D platformer. Can you even find me one 3D platformer that does?

- Doesn't run on the same engine as SM3DL at all.

- Bigger and more expansive levels.

- Introduces a lot of new gameplay elements with each new level. In one level for example you're playing with shadows. In another level you're fighting Cat Bowser while climbing a huge tower. Or you're playing through a Mario Kart inspired level.

And please, tell me one game that plays like the Prime series.
