| Curmudgeon said: I generally dislike terms as 'core gamer' as people all interpret it differently. But the real question to me is has Nintendo delivered high quality games that Nintendo fans want, more so than during Wii.To that I say yes they have, at least currently. With the possible exception of Super Mario 3D World (which is still 1 of the best games released this gen. It'sjust that Galaxy 1 and 2 are contenders for greatest game of all time) I think all their franchises improved upon the previous entries. Mario Kart, Smash, Donkey Kong, New Super Mario Bros, and they finally made a good Yoshi game again. Also they brought some new ideas with Splatoon and Mario Maker and saved Bayonetta 2. Of course you can only really compare at the end of the generation. For all we know Xenoblade is ****, Zelda a disappointment, Star Fox downright terrible and Pokken mediocre. I don't expect this to happen, but it would definitely change my opinion if it did. |
That's my "problem" with Nintendo, they are totally focused on their Mario licenses, on the Mario fan. I agree that's probably their most famous and profitable licenses, but Nintendo is really leaving people not hardcore fan of Mario out. My fav license is F-Zero, I like metroid, I liked wave racer, Goldeneye, they had great exclusive deal like Rogue Squadron, etc. Zelda and Starfox are late. They used to have a lot of different atmospheres and different styles. And when the finally show a game outside the mario's license, it's the very unimpressive Starfox.
