why is nintendo so afraid to try something new? they've been putting out the same 5 games for 20 yrs

New IP, released in 2013 and only sold 20k WORLDWIDE!

Meanwhile, Donkey Kong Mario and Zelda games go on to sell millions.

They've done a lot of new stuff, it's just that it wasn't aimed at 'us'. Wii Sports, Nintendogs, Animal Crossing.

On the other hand, you've got a game like Kid Icarus Uprising. While not entirely 'new' in the sense it was already an existing Nintendo property, the game was critically acclaimed, up until the current 3DS Zelda without a doubt the best 3DS exclusive, and it sold roughly over one million copies worldwide. Meanwhile a game like New Super Mario Bros U sells over two millions copies in half the time... on a console that almost nobody bought!

just viewed some gameplay and the trailer, it shouldn't have sold half of that.

Most people that played it were confused about how the game works. But once you get the hang of it, you'll be doing shyt like this



But I guess nobody has time to learn combat mechanics anymore.:manny:

They really haven't switched it up since N64 with mario tennis and shyt..which is odd because N64 wasn't AMAZINGLY successful and Gamecube was a flop all things considered.

@Uncle_Ruckus Never, you started a war breh, you can't back down now.:demonic: You say it sucks then that means there's something better.

Now put your arms up and show me a better game with a better combat system or forfeit and I'll leave it alone.
