| Kerotan said: They frequently release many games from the same series over the gen. But it's true that others only get one game per gen. It seems like one extreme to the other. A game like mario kart should be getting 2 games a gen. It probably would on the Wii U if it stayed on the market for 7 or 8 years withouta successor. |
Give me one example. Keep in mind: Mario Kart 8 is not the same as Super Mario 3D World which is not the same as New Super Mario Bros. U.
I guess you could make the claim for Pokémon, but Game Freak isn't owned by Nintendo.
