New Pokemon gets released often because it's basically all Game Freak works on, so it's either be making Pokemon, or make something else. Even with Tembo, they only allocated a small team to make it. Why does the article make it sound like Nintendo has been doing DLC for two decades? They say what they're doing with Mario Kart 8 is a standard, yet, it's completely new to this generation. Continued content for a game is not the reason they only do one release a generation, considering they've been doing this stuff since the SNES and N64. All in all, this article smells like BS at best. I guarantee, Nintendo would turn out annual releases for everything if they could just because people would keep buying them anyways. |
Every CoD or Ass Creed game has a 3 year development cycle with HUGE teams allocated to it. Ubisoft is almost twice as big as Nintendo...
Nintendo doesn't own Gamefreak... Pokémon would be better off if Nintendo fully owned the franchise though.
