The problem I see with Super Mario Maker is that...level quality. I'm not going to lie, it pisses me off that the top 20 is filled with autoscrollers.
And, everything else? Mostly an exercise in star-bait. Hard, unfair levels, or levels that can be broken with a Lakitu, or just plain bad level design.

And the odd level that's actually good? Good luck finding it.

And that is why there will always be 2D Mario games

As for everything else, nope. Smash can still have its base mechanics refined and Sakurai can stop working on the damn game - passing the baton to someone else, for once.

Mario Kart? There's a dedicated EAD Mario Kart team. Do you seriously want them to work on F-Zero after this? Mind you, DLC expansions generally take less work than your base game - Captain Toad took just a year with a fraction of the manpower begin 3D World.

Nintendo likes money. So no.

Nintendo continues to make any franchise that sells reasonably well actually. There isn't any game that's sold 2-3 million+ WW that doesn't actively likely have a sequel in development.

to the OP


one word: No

The thing you should worry about when it comes to Nintendo is the hardware. They have nice first party software but they need to sell units for the mid tier and less popular games to do well.

You should never worry about nintendo creating mario games. They probably wouldn't sell a single unit if they didn't have mario.

not ending, evolving.

Mario Kart 8 is the greatest game in the series so far and to think that Mario Kart 9 could have courses based on more Nintendo IP's is awesome. It could be called Mario & All Stars Kart. im not sure, but its definitely not a bad thing.

Smash Bros had a pretty interesting new cast this time around, but 3rd Party Characters are staying low. only 4/53 characters are from 3rd party companies. and if Nintendo keeps up with new IPs and great games, we will keep getting better casts.

I think I speak for everyone when I say Mario needs a break. The NSMB series isnt doing many favors and I love the idea of SMM. I think future releases could be just SMM with new content and designs, and of course dev-made levels as well.

None of those 3, but Super Mario Bros is certainly getting will get some changes, no more NSMB.

All 3 of those franchises, are 3 of their biggest moneymakers that sells units and prints money for them. Plus, they're among the fans favorite franchises, ESPECIALLY Smash Bros.
They're not going anywhere.

If you are talking about Nintendo using other IP to help promote other games, that has been going on for a while. See Mario appearing as referees in NES sports games or the various games they would stick Mario or one of his friends into before releasing elsewhere in the world. If you are talking about getting money for in game endorsements doubt this is the first time directly or the last. But if someone is willing to pay money to have a product appear in a game, why would Nintendo say no unless it is something that is totally out of place?

I'm a bit concerned about the 2D Super Mario games after SMM but I'm shure they'll make new enemies and new powerups so that they can go on with the series. Smash and MK are fine and can keep going imho

Nope - don't see that happening - those IPs are alive and ready for a few more games as we know them!
