"Playing it safe" is actually the key point; that's how 2D platformers by Nintendo are seen by many people these days, as them playing safe and living in the past. But it's a sentiment I see very often. |
Don't fix what isn't broken, they say. But Nintendo has played it very safe with a lot of their franchises. Zelda, Mario 2D, DKC, Mario Kart, Smash... All iterations that evolve at baby step pace. They're still greatly fun. But even if you're a fan of those games, you have to agree that those games haven't progressed that much since the N64, and have been mostly formulaic iterations with added layers of polish, instead of trying to shake things up.
