I also think that Nintendo fans are usually very attached to the same franchises, do we really need so many 2d Mario and Zelda games ?, every time nintendo shows a Mario or Zelda game people go crazy and say wow I can’t wait to play something I have already played like 30 times already just with new levels and small tweaks, so if people don’t care about innovation developers won’t either. |
Just as a side comment to this post.
People on this site (and most other gaming forums) are to hung up on IP. It’s not the IP that makes a game good or bad it is the mechanics and gameplay. Splatoon would still be a fun game even if it was set in the Mushroom kingdom. BotW would still be a good game if it was not a Zelda game, attaching it to Zelda just to boost the sales is totally OK with me. Same can be said about RE7, if the name boosted the sales I’m totally fine with it (to be honest what I consider a RE game hasn’t held true after the PS1 days (fixed cameras, tank controlls etc)
