Is like playing uncharted and saying you have 2 games becuase drake got on a boat. Same assets everywhere, different mechanics. If you think im wrong, go look at the Wii U sales numbers.

I see your example, but I can give you ten times more where the game have the same assets, and is only gameply changes.

yeah metroid and captain toad treasure tracker are totally the same

In fact, let me help you, Galaxy is sharing assets with 3D world, and mario kart, mario kart is also sharing assets with DK:TF, Yoshi and Kyrby are sharing assets too, Mario party is sharing assets with the other mario games, I can go on on. The biggest sin is that Wii U game are Wii game in HD.

is it really that hard to make connections? wow, talk about blind fanboyism, is captain toad/mario 3d word, mario kart/smash/galaxy, smash/DK, Yoshi/kirby, there thats how you match assets, I would mention metrid but there are not metroids games in Wii U only the Wii ports and that is even more evidence of their lazyness.

You people keep referencing nintendo is like disney, may be somewhat true in alot of cases, but more cases that its not true. Even though alot of games share a more child-friendly style doesnt mean they are even close to be the same, and now nintendo just released their own shooter, yes a bit cartoony but very different, also nintendo has non cartoony games like Metroid and Xenoblade chronicles X

Going by your logic GTAV is one game when you get in a car, another on foot and another when you get in a plane, another above water, another under water, and a shooter when you are shooting, that is a megaton alright.

But, you see, you said all Nintendo games. So I've already proven you wrong. But there's still the fact that Pikmin is nothing like Animal Crossing, which is nothing like Pokemon, which is nothing like Xenoblade, which is nothing like Eternal Darkness, which is nothing like Mario Kart, which is nothing like Rhythm Heaven, which is nothing like Fatal Frame, which is nothing like Smash Bros., which is nothing like Donkey Kong Country, which is nothing like Zelda, which is nothing like The Wonderful 101, which is nothing like Hyrule Warriors, which is nothing like Splatoon, which is nothing like Pushmo, which is nothing like F-Zero, which is nothing like Metroid, which is nothing like Star Fox, which is nothing like Kid Icarus, which is nothing like Kirby, which is nothing like Sin & Punishment, which is nothing like Chibi Robo, which is nothing like Golden Sun, which is nothing like Elite Beat Agents, which is nothing like Endless Ocean, which is nothing like Advance Wars, which is nothing like Wave Race, which is nothing like Pilotwings.

HOWEVER, I will humor you. What Nintendo games are so alike and have the same exact assets with only gameplay changes (because that doesn't matter)?

So sharing same assets to make mutiple games that feel completely different is a bad thing? yeah playstation and XBOX doesnt doo that at all. We see that everyday in games, with modified textures and upgraded assets. GTA V had alot of the same assets like in GTA IV, and Call of duty lol dont get me even started on that. Bloodborne? Had assets from Dark souls. We could go on all day.

"a bit cartoony "? you shoot ink, and the kids are based on the octopus from marios underwater level, please!
