People like to spend money on good content made by a company that cares about its customers and delivers on its promises?
Nah, throw in [latest useless tech gimmick] and make it a live service with gatcha mechanics, always online DRM, and endless micro-transactions. Sincerely, every major game studio from Activision to Ubisoft.
it is a great game with cute little characters :D
Milking an IP dry for 40+ years like Nintendo sounds like an evil Easter egg to find in the game, not what to do with it.
Otherwise, me and the wife love playing it co-op.
Nintendo doesn’t really “dry” their IPs. They actually innovate between games, making sure each installment is worthy of existing. They don’t just slap a new number on the same content as last time, like the EAs, Ubisofts and Actiblizzards of the industry.
That’s why they’ve lasted. A game featuring Mario or Link isn’t so much a familiar IP, as it has become a seal of quality.
Doesn’t mean they aren’t guilty of a bunch of other anti-consumer bullshit.
Absolutely agree.
Pokemon, on the other hand …
Gamefreak needs a fire lit under their ass.
One they can’t put out by litigating it to shreds.
