There are plenty of 2D platformers that have been released over the years recently, like Sonic and other IP. SMB is a genre exception in sales, hardly a norm. Wii Fit was passe and out of style by 2012 largely anyway. Like most fitness fads, people move on after about 3-5 years. Anyone still doing 8 Minute Abs? About Ab-Doer? Thigh Master? Home Aerobics Tapes? Tae Bo? P90X? Shake Weight? Atkins Diet? Fitness fads come and go all the time, I think the whole "lose weight playing video games with some plastic shit!" craze largely had its time in the sun. People have moved on from that. By and large too I think most people really didn't lose much weight from Wii Fit. A few who stuck with it did, but the majority of fat people who bought it probably are still fat today ... and looking for some new fad. |
Yeah, I forgot Sonic Mania. Now, outside of Super Mario Bros (including Mario Maker), Shantae, Shovel Knight and Sonic Mania, what other 2D Jump'n run can you name?
At bolded: Well, there's your problem. See your hypocrisy? You say it comes and goes, yet state right after that that people moved on from it, with the clear implication that it never comes back, contradicting your previous sentence in the process.
Oh, and for what it's worth, my wife is still (or, dare I say, again) on an Atkins Diet...
