| IcaroRibeiro said: 2D Mario can be developed in 3 years, it's not a game that take much time to create. Mario Maker and Mario Wonder appeals to different demographs, they are not the same games at all. But more important, 2D Mario (unlike Mario Maker) has very high casual market appeal Rule of thumb is if the game has a dedicated core fandom you want quicker releases (ideally 2 to 3 years max) to capitalize the fandom. I think Nintendo follows this philosophy to few IPs like Pokemon, Fire Emblem and Splatoon However if your game has high casual appeal I.e. is a game that keep selling for years when your userbase growths, it's better to give some time between releases. This is the case for 2D Mario. Nintendo can keep selling a new 2D Mario for 5 to 6 years before releasing a new one. Releasing new 2D Mario quickly means a new game could potentially divert sales from an old entry to a newer entry |
That’s a good point actually, regarding the 2-3y release schedule rule. Maybe Nintendo will do something. It’d be crazy if we got both a Mario Maker and 3D Mario this year lol, both definitely seem to be coming in the near future.
