After Mario world, which in my opinion was not the Mario we deserved even though it was great, we have only been given a bunch of Mario features gamea. They dis not want the same formula so they are leaving him for the NX. Ok, that is not too far fetched. Evwry system gets a Mario. We are geeting a AC party game, DK was a side scroller and the other three are nothing. Kirby got very little effort and they ignored the reat of their characters. Pikmin 4 is ready, but is waiting for NX moat likely. What doea thia all mean foe Wii U? It means that other than already announced titles, we will only get very little effort put into the rest of its games. I do not want to think about it though, too sad.
Long story short, they are setting the NX up perfectly for a great first year even without third party support. But I have a feeling their NX third party support will be in the form of indies. Both retailer and digital. |
I don't get the complaint about 3D World. 3D Mario games have been evolving ever since Sunshine, getter more linear with each installment. It's just the natural progression of the Mario games. I wouldn't be opposed to another 3D Mario game in the vein of 64 or Sunshine, but that doesn't mean that 3D World isn't a ''real'' 3D Mario game.
DK games have always been sidescrollers. The only exception was DK64, and that game was arguably pretty mediocre, the DKC series is way better in my opinion. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse was just as much a Kirby game than any other, just with a different game mechanic. Kirby games are known for being smaller games and not as grand in scale as a Mario or Zelda game, so I don't see how Rainbow Curse got less effort than previous Kirby games. Kirby games have never been system sellers to begin with. Animal Crossing on the other hand sells better on handhelds, it was just a matter of time before they moved to handhelds.
Metroid isn't guaranteed for NX, and apart from Federation Force, Metroid isn't guaranteed to appear on a Nintendo console anytime soon. Their management for the Metroid franchise is a big mess, I give you that, but that doesn't guarantee it's coming to NX. F-Zero... Well, just look at the sales figures, sales have dwindled ever since the first game, each new entry selling less games than the previous entry. F-Zero never got a Wii game, so I don't think its absence proves that it's coming to Nintendo's next console.
On the other hand, we did get a new Pikmin game, and likely another one. We get a new Star Fox game on the Wii U, and we already got a new Yoshi game. These are franchises we haven't seen for a generation or two either [on home consoles]. We got Splatoon, Captain Toad, Wonderful 101, Pokkén Tournament, etc. Plenty of games that we never got on other consoles.
