Most of the games came back to the way they were in the 90's. And mainly they are not in par with what is done in gaming nowadays. Mario 3D world and New Super mario are dumbed down in comparison to 64/sunshine/galaxy Skyward Sword, Zelda Triforce heroes Metroid Other M threw out the exploration, then we got Federation Forces. Mario Tennis Ultra Smash... I can think of only two games that really improved on their formula or at least were as good, Mario Kart 8 (thanks to cheap DLC and 200cc mode) and Pikmin 3. Otherwise, everything else was inferior, dumbed down, made cuter. Nintendo clearly isn't moving forward, they are just trying to use the nostalgia factor, and make everything have a broader appeal. But like I said, when you try to make all your games for everyone, you're not making games for anyone. Evertyhing feels diluted, flavorless. |
I disagree, a lot of Nintendo games have moved on from their 90's counterparts, inc Mario. Donkey Kong TF is the best in the series, as is Smash Wii U, I think 3D world is a better game than Mario 64 and Sunshine and Zelda just goes from strength to strength. The games you are using in you argument like Federation Force and Ultra Smash are either a spin off or a rushed game to fill a release schedule.
