So, I'm ok with the nintendo idea to reuse their ip, if the gameplay actually have something different.
But, somethings had me thinking about for some time now.
Its no mistery that only the fact that have mario on the title help a lot on sales of that game, because from theirs 30+ ips, the ones that sells at full fleged 60 dollars are the zeldas, and marios, and pokemons, or a mix of it(smash bros and mario kart).
Remenber that they even tought about make the caracthers on W101 be nitendo caracthers? So far, its ok, not that those games are worse just because of that.
But the reveal of mario kart bring up somethings like: Hey, mario on the ceeling and on walls? Its f-zero!
And then with the recent trailer of kirby triple deluxe. A rythim mini game similar to harmoknight. A arena minigame like the smash bros one.

Do you se a partten here? It's like they are takign idea from the ips that not sell that well and put on the games that sell well and call it a new ideas!
The problem is that mean, less actual new ideas. And that the other ips will have less full fleged iterations. This really cocerns me.
What do you guys think?
"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
