another butthurt fan over mario kart 8 sales.
All right guys look. I think we have a little bit of a misunderstanding here.
I'm just tired of seeing Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon. I'm getting bored of seeing these type of games over and over because Mario and friends don't appeal to me anymore.
I want Nintendo to take bigger risk. I want them to make new super hit franchises.
Let Mario and friends take a rest all ready.

My comment is actually correct. Big sales yes, but their numbers is getting smaller.

To many of the samething gets boring. Again this is what I think. Does this answer your question? |
Then your wording is wrong.
You said in the OP, they "keep making" mediocre games. That means you think their games were already mediocre before.
Now you're saying that they're only mediocre, because they reuse their ideas. Which basically means that if you never heard about the newest iteration of the franchises in question, you wouldn't find them mediocre.
even though i don't enjoy most of Nintendo games (actually only W101, Xenoblade and the new Zelda are the ones that interest me), i think this is going way too far...

No, it isn't. You said it's getting smaller. My point is that it's varied. You see newer Mario titles sell more than older titles sometimes. I'll refine the list so you can see it.

2011 Mario Kart is above 2001, 2003, and 1992. That's an increase. 2005 is at #2, and 2008 is at #1. Now let's move on to another Mario game.

I bolded all of the 2D Mario platformers and left all the 3D Mario platformers the same. (I didn't supply the full list). You can see that New Super Mario Bros 2 sold more than Super Mario Bros 2 here (and will continue to sell more). The original New Super Mario Bros and New Super Mario Bros Wii both sold better than all of the other Mario games besides the original. Super Mario World also sold better than some of the older titles. As you can see, there isn't any form of consistent decrease in sales for 2D Mario Platformers.
Look at 3D Mario Platformers, and you see it still holds true.
So no, you're wrong.

The Mario games like on N64, and before it is really good. But not now for me, and there is a lot of them now which I think drops its quality as time goes on. Just seeing them being reused in the sametype of platform and plot is unappealing.
I was hoping people would understand my wording. Thanks for catching it.
i think out of all of the things you said, i agree 10000% in the fact that they SHOULD focus more on new IPS instead of pouring sequels of the same games generation after generation, i understand that people like those games but your not gonna grab people like me into the console by doing mostly the same thing every gen.
i know they are good games but they just don't appeal to me, that's why i wish they made more new stuff because then maybe some of those new games (hopefully all of them), would appeal to me.

North America does not equal the world. This is my point. It is selling less globally
