This is very true.
There are very few new game series from Nintendo with rich worlds in them.
Wii Sports is just Miis put into sports settings.
Splatoon is just generic looking characters put into different arenas.
Animal Crossing is avatars put in farms or whatever.
Pikmin is just one generic spaceman and billions of little colorcoded plant people.
Nothing they make outside of sequels and spinoffs have much in the way of rich worlds in them. And even those are just reusing old content from earlier games. (Oh wow now we can have the tanooki suite again! Oh wow now we can play as a evil purple-colored baby version of mario!)
- grillvogel 10y agodo you understand what a game is? you seem to be dismissing all of these nintendo games based on surface details unrelated to the game itself. "wii sports is just Miis put into sports settings" what is bad about this? the game itself is very enjoyable and was a worldwide sensation. what was wii sports supposed to be? not every game needs to be an open world adventure starring a bald man who's wife and child were brutally murdered.
- bobajeff 10y agoI'm not dismissing the games. Not every game has to have a rich world. But there is a obvious change in the level of work they put into rich new content compared to their NES/SNES days. What happened? Who knows. But it's definitely noticeable.
