Specifically, that Mario is not Nintendo as a whole. I can name quite a few Nintendo franchises that would definitely benefit from more powerful hardware - Xenoblade, Metroid (Prime), Pilotwings, Starfox, Pikmin. I'm sure that there are more first-party ones that I've missed. Then, of course, there is the possibility that 3D Zelda would switch back to a more realistic artstyle in the future, but that's another discussion entirely. |
Pikmin, Star Fox will look amazing on PS4++ hardware. The issue with things like Metroid and Xenoblade is they are relatively small franchises in actual sales. Nintendo is never going to spend a monstrous budget on par with Uncharted 4 on games like that, so the hardware is kinda moot because the budget needed to push the hardware to the limits isn't available.
