There is a reason I know certain things won't amount to squat. You just have to make an edit crazy enough to get a story about it posted to Kotaku. That's what will really drive the traffic.

I got Xenoblade when it was ported to WiiU and I did not get very far in it because there were too many sidequests and 90% of them were bad "Just don't do all the sidequests", you might say. Well I've got problems and one of my problems is that I do sidequests obsessively, and Xenoblade is a very bad game for someone with that problem Wait, I didn't think it was ever ported to the Wii U?

I knew I should have elaborated. That is exactly what I was going for. Both DKC and NSMB had multiple games in a short timeframe, largely to the detriment of each franchise. It is just that Nintendo rarely does that with most of its franchises.

theRepublic 04/22/20 1:03:14 PM #314	ZeldaTPLink posted... One theory I have is that Nintendo is just better at mantaining its franchises running than any other company. We talk about how Assassins Creed died, Mass Effect died, Fallout died, Telltale died... well, you know who never dies? Nintendo franchises. With a site that loves nostalgia, it's not a competition. Non-nintendo series have to use new games to compete because they rarely last more than a single decade. I would agree with that. I think the biggest reason is that Nintendo takes their time with each game in a franchise. You rarely see more than 1 of each franchise on a single console. Most of the time it is just 1 per generation per franchise. That gives them time to make each game play and feel very different from each other. On the other hand, it seems when most other publishers land on a hit game, they try to pump out a samey trilogy before the generation ends. Leads to declining reviews and people just don't care as much when they are very similar games in a short time frame. Of course there are exceptions. The DKC trilogy on the the SNES immediately springs to mind. NSMB dropped two games in 2012, which was probably a mistake that overflowed the market with 2D platformers. But it is generally pretty true.

theRepublic 04/03/20 2:27:47 PM #136	jcgamer107 posted... yeah but weren't people already anti-voting it then? It did win the PC only Game of the Year poll a few days before. I also think it is a lot harder to do a coordinated anti-vote when there are multiple options instead of 1v1. This poll had 8 options.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Eliminated in Round 2 against Metal Gear Solid 2 Fallout 4 - Not in the bracket, probably released too late. Fallout 3 and New Vegas lost in Round 2. Fallout 3 lost to Undertale and New Vegas lost to Resident Evil 4 Bloodborne - Lost in Round 1 to Final Fantasy XII Undertale - Won the whole thing somehow. Xenoblade Chronicles X - Finished a very close 5th in Game of the Year. Not in the bracket, probably released too late. Xenoblade Chronicles lost in Round 1 to Donkey Kong Country 2. Based on those other results, it probably should have lost in Round 1 or maybe Round 2.
