How Nintendo handles IPs:
>make x game
> wow everybody loves x game
> It's not as much of a cash grab as our mainstay cash cows like Mario, Zelda, Smash, or Pokemon
> We don't wanna make ourselves look like the "bad guy" by simply saying "nah we're not feeling a sequel to x game at the moment"
> Make a shitty half-assed spinoff or sequel game
> Everybody dislikes/hates or very few people like it
> "Well our last sequel to x wasn't accepted that well, so it's a bad risk to try again and make another"
> Series x is now dead or nearing death because Nintendo just can't say no
> Rinse and repeate for series y that isn't Mario, Zelda, or Pokemon
I seriously fucking hate how they run their company now.
