Based on the amount of marketing I see though, in addition to my best guesses at development budget, I'd say 3D Mario, Metroid, 3D Zelda, Splatoon, and Smash Bros. for sure are AAA. Stuff like Kirby, 2D Mario, 2D Zelda, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Fire Emblem feels more AA than AAA to me personally. |
Seriously? That series gets so much marketing cross-promotion, tie-ins, and TV advertising I wouldn't be surprised if the budget is higher than the rest of Nintendo's games combined
