Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo games get less innovative with each console.

COKTOE on 12 June 2013

It's difficult to be innovative when you re-hash franchises for 30 years. And although it doesn't preclude innovation, flaccid (LIMP DICKED), overpriced hardware doesn't help matters.

That's why game franchises don't go on for 30 years. The devs work on fresh new projects because the old ones become stale. Nintendo has gotten away with it for years and this time it may catch up with them.

People have been telling me that particular sky is falling for the past twenty years or so, so you'll forgive me if I don't take your word for it.


Nostalgia sells Nintendo games, not innovation.

Do people think b4 they post? The further along you get with video games the harder it is to be innovative and create ggamesfast. If anything the game creation process has taken more time. It isn't like CoD where the framework is just copied and pasted with other graphical updates. This is complete re-writing of code due to new branches, what ifs and all that nonsense. I'm really looking forward to the new 3D Mario World. I'll play it with my brother. It looks great and fun. Just the way I like it.

If it is just now catching up with NIntendo it should catch up with CoD pretty soon. Unless people are still blind to the fact that they are paying for a game that they already own. Nintendo has had a franchise that has gone on for 30 years successfully too. Nobody else can say that. They have to be doing something right you think? At some point the greatest game designer in the world, Shigeru Miyamoto, will become deceased and maybe Mario will die with him. I still do not see an end for Mario in my generation.


Miyamoto gets far too much credit for his limited imagunation. Sure he's good, but people gush over his creations that are repeatedly similar. Nothing he's ever created has had a captivating story or memorable characters other than the main character. That's my opinion of course.
