why? so if i myself make 8 consoles, the 8th one would be part of this next-gen? of course not, it's not based on succession, it's based on specs, set by the first new next-gen, who sets the bar.
what ways? please do tell me. i'll say now, the gamepad doesn't count, since Sony already did that with the vita basically.
that's visual design to compensate. the wii's lack of power created some of the most original artstyles i've ever seen. doesn't change the fact that it was weak specs-wise.
no, there isn't. you open it up and you see the parts. you run some tests and you know the benchmarks. it's not like it's some unexplored dungeon where there can be a secret graphics card hiding somewhere.
yes, i do. what? a new mushroom and a couple new enemies? that's doesn't warrant a new game, that's dlc.
my stance on mario is the same as on CoD, individually great games, but stagnating as a series.
specs determine the maximum graphics can reach, developer effort determines how close they are to that ceiling. developer effort can't surpass the specs.
i'm not dismissing lego gta as kiddy, i'm saying what it is: gta for kids. that's not an opinion, that's what it is.
mario games are individually okay now, but if it were any other character bringing out the exact same game, it'd never be received so well. buying a game like that basically tells Nintendo: ''just keep avoiding innovation and originality, we'll just buy your game anyway''.
yes, they do. it's called ''literally knowing the specs''
you mean unoriginal bros 4? a game that had great traction with the general buyers of the Wii U... GTA for kids, because Nintendo can't get GTA? the game that was just an expansion of it predecessor?
it's a damn shame, because i wanted Nintendo to reclaim the market, but their outdated-at-launch-hardware (''every console's outdated, pc rules'', shut up, we're talking about consoles here), their lack of great games and the gimmicky nature of most games was enough to convince me this wasn't going to be Nintendo's comeback.
