That's actually what they're doing with Mario Kart and Smash lol. The obvious answer is to make money, and people obviously aren't gonna buy the same game forever. And no, Mario Kart 8, 3D World, etc. are not the same as previous installments, I would think you'd know better than to imply such a thing.

I specifically mentioned Mario 2D. Not 3D. Funny you think I'm taking about everything Nintendo does. I am not. They innovate with some games. The point I made were in relation to their franchises that DO stagnate, and the reasons why I believe those games score lower than what you and some other people here would expect.

And Mario Kart 8 isn't different in any substential way from prior games. The magnetic tracks are the only addition, and they don't really add anything to the gameplay. They add to the presentation, nothing more. The game is a more polished version from what came before, without any game changer.

I actually think NSMBU scored too high, especially in comparison with DKC: TF.

MK8 has tracks, characters and vehicles from different franchises. That stirs things up quite a bit imo. It also added 200CC and being able to break while drifting, it really changes the way you ride these tracks. They ruined battle mode though.
