Wait, let me get this straight, you're saying if its not zelda mario or metroid that nintendo shouldn't make the game. Just ignore the nine billion characters it has stored away and make new ones. Forget how good the games on these characters can be. I bet you're the same person that condemned metroid prime before it came out crying that metroid can't be 3D that's blasphemous. I bet you hate Mario Sunshine because the game isn't perfect in every way, because flud or whatever its name was shouldn't be allowed in any game ever. I guess you want smash brothers to be dealt away because it is no longer a fresh innovative game. I beleive that you wouldn't like to see any more mario kart games because koopas should be jumped on and not driving karts. What happens if Namco gets its act together and turns Armada into a space shooting wet dream the likes of which not seen since rogue leader, you wouldn't want to play it. I guess that you really wouldn't want to play animal crossing two.
I guess you don't want to see games like donkey kong jungle beat because its not one of nintendo's three major franchises. Where do you get off saying that games shouldn't be made because they're not popular. As far as all the rehashes goes, they are all brilliant games. Zero mission is more than any port I've seen, as well as Twin Snakes. These are games that, as odd as it seems, many people haven't palyed and otherwise wouldn't have played, and the reimagining of them makes it worth a buy.
You know what, no game needs to be released. Samus, Mario, and Link can all go the way of the dinosaur and the videogame world would live on. Sure it would hurt a lot, but it wouldn't die. You may think that mario zelda and metroid are the games that drive nintendo, but they're not. Its the wario ware, and the mario golf/kart/tennis/shuffleboard for all I care. Its the Donkey Kongas and the F-zeros. Nintendo is great not because of it only having three franchises to rely on, its great because it can take obscure franchises and turn them into great games that no one would ever think to exist. Sure mario party has gotten stale, but it has two new games coming out that'll turn the series in a new direction. Mario golf advance is the best golf game of the year. Kujuu is new to the "lets make a good game" scene, give them time, nintendo should be able to drive these guys in the right direction. Besides as you say it Advance wars is better off this way, so it won't get stale on the GBA. As far as the multiplying of metroid tittles have you seen a bad one yet? no, no you haven't because they're all great games.
Know what, stop buying games. From now on only buy origional games, games that haven't been thought of yet and don't have any tithes to any older game ever created. No tennis games, that ties into pong. No sports games period they're all the same. No First person shooterse, they can all be traced back to goldeneye as far as consoles go. No 2D fighting games, just capcom snk and sammy making those, can't be any good they're not origional. Smash brothers'll be sequel as well. No 3D fighting games, Sould Calibur three DOA ultimate Virtua fighter five, tekken five. No real time strategy games, all command and conquer. No shootemups, all galaga. No action adventure games, all zelda. No survival horror, all silent hill and resident evil clones. No light gun games, all copies of house of the dead and time crisis. No racing games, all have something to do with need for speed. No flying games, all revolve around flight simulators. No RPG's that's all final fantasy. No platformers, all mario. No party games, all mario. No kart racers, all mario. No mascot fighter, all mario. No, wait I'm running out of games. okay rhythm games are all DDR. No liscensed games, All X-men (the old arcade game). Noadventure games, all myst. Every spy game of the last three years is a splinter cell clone, and squad based games are all based on tom clancy novels. James bond made all the movie games good.
You get what I'm saying I could go on for a little longer but all games are rehashes of older games. Jungle beat is the most origional game around, that and lifeline *shudder* but because Jungle beat isn't traditionaly DK swinging around you won't like it. I guess you want mario to turn into megaman, whomst I love, but doesn't know when to go onto something new. Command mission is a great something new for him by the way. JI think your opinion has value. I just cannot agree with you. Just go away from the game world and start reading dime novels. because that's the only way you'll find true happiness.
