    Has nothing to do with their closed eco system. They basically did similar stuff with some of the stuff in the sm3d collection thingy.
    Nintendo is a company that only wants make new stuff, innovations.
    For example, they ( mostly miyomoto ) has been quoted to not understand that people want another f-zero, as the game’s principals and ideas have been fully flushed out and no new ideas could make it feel like something new.
    They also usually dont do remakes/remasters unless its so new/different it can be considered a new game ( see metroid 2 on 3ds ).

    If that is a smart business position to have, i will leave for you to decide, but do get your facts a bit straight :)

    EDIT: also, nintendo has used open source projects for internal projects before, so idk how “closed ecosystem” is part of their stuff :)

        I think they mean either all-new or straight dumpster-dive, no enhancing old games.

        “Mario” barely qualifies as a single franchise at this point. It spans a ridiculous amount of genres.

          And, ironically, Odyssey at least re-uses almost all of it from time to time. Sure, the movement is slightly different, but it’s the same game they’ve been making since SM64. The 3D Super Mario games at least are all almost identical, with different worlds and slightly different movement.

      Innovate means needing to pay for an online service to transfer saves between consoles, saves stored on an SD card?

      Do they DMCA fan made games because the game concepts have been fully fleshed out?

      When copyright expires for FZero in a century perhaps we can find out if there’s more to be done (well, not us personally).

      This is also why we’ll never get another Star Fox.

      Damn you got mob downvoted for explaining exactly how Nintendo thinks. You’re absolutely right. People don’t seem to want to accept that Nintendo operates as an idea toy company. Once they’ve explored a new idea/gimmick they consider it completed and move on.

        Except they don’t? What about Odyssey was new? It’s just a new version of SM64. Sure, it’s got a few different mechanics than SM64, Sunshine, and Galaxy, but those are all the same game at the core, right? This isn’t the only series they do like this.

            Barely. Odyssey even specifically references most of the older games to point out how it’s very similar. They all add a small movement mechanic, but other than that jumping has been the same since SM64.

            If we say the Mario games are totally different and don’t reuse ideas, no game does. Literally every game changes at least something small. Hell, patches in some games change more than what has changed between those games.

                See my edit above.

                Also, check out this video. It has a lot of side-by-side comparisons of SM64 and Odyssey.

                The developers wouldn’t argue it isn’t treading the same ground. In some cases, they literally have you tread the same ground. They send you back to Peach’s castle, just like we’re back in SM64. They know they’re running off of nostalgia.

                Every game repeats stuff from older games. The 3D Super Mario games do this more than most. Call of Duty has changed more than these games have.

                I can’t think of another series that repeats the same things, tell you explicitly as part of the game that it’s repeating the same things, and then has fans argue it isn’t repeating things again. Of course it is. We all know if is, and that’s part of why it sells. There’s so much nostalgia bait because they know the nostalgia is what sells a lot of their games.

                I haven’t owned a Nintendo console since the SNES, but I’ve played a bit of SM64, a good chunk of Sunshine, and most of Odyssey (all when they were new, not since). I can tell how much they all share and I’m not even a fan of the games. An honest fan would agree.

        Haha, i kinda expected it tbh. The internet hates nintendo and doesnt know how they operate internally. Still wanted to make the comment, as it is needed.
