The classic, "This got made, but not that, so this stopped that from getting made."
You can't will creativity into existence. You learn by branching out and trying new things. If it were up to fans, "Mario 64 with new levels." would be the answer every time. That's why fans are fans and not the best video game developer in the world. Fans make half of one level in OOT or Mario 64 in Unreal engine with fancy lighting and 4K textures and other fans comment on their work and say, "Nintendo! Hire this person!". Fans remake Metroid 2 and other fans lambaste Nintendo when they protect their IP. Meanwhile Nintendo bites their tongue while publishing a reimagining of Metroid 2 that isn't bound by the limitations of a game developed for GameBoy.
