How does this add up?

You aren't interested because of rehashes but a new Pokemon and Smash may get you interested?

"Rehashes" exist because people like them and buy them. In the end, every single company will make them and people will ask them to. The same goes with long-time series. I wish Nintendo would actually create a new IP meant to be the next Zelda, Metroid, Mario or Donkey Kong of the future.

Wasn't what I was asking really.

More like how can he knock someone for rehashes then turn around and ask for rehashes.

It's shitty, yeah, but I expected it. I've gotten a lot of joy out of my 3DS though. The built-in software is perfect for parties and family things. I'm also having a lot of fun with Dead or Alive: Dimensions right now. I'll skip Zelda because I've played it so many times. And... nothing, virtually nothing for months. Scary.

Yeah, my next purchase outside of anything on the eShop will be SMT: DS Overclocked , then Star Fox and all the other stuff that was announced this year.

You almost feel kinda bad for Nintendo. They're not doing so hot. Iwata took a 50 percent paycut for all of the bad stuff that they're dealing with financially now.

I sort of feel bad that I'm contributing to the problem (not buying a 3DS even though I want one), but with how crappy the GBA was to the GBA SP, and how crappy the original DS was to the Lite and XL, I just can't justify spending money on it yet.

A *new* pokemon and a *new* smash aren't rehashes in the sense of "Oh hey here is the exact same game we released 10 years ago, only with slightly better graphics and maybe some added content that wasn't present before."

How is that NOT Pokemon?

Honestly, of all Nintendo franchises, I would say that has to be one of the biggest offenders.

Perhaps, Animal Crossing being the only one worse.

Because it's POKEMON.

I don't need any other reason to want one. >:|

Actually, at this point, if it isn't a massive 3D MMORPG, then Nintendo might as well be making the same gosh darn Pokemon game. I love the series, but its progression is superficial...

No I realize, it's basically the same game each time, but it's not the exact same game. At least it has new pokemon and they add a lot of new moves, a new story etc. Sure it's a lot of cosmetics on the same game.

A new smash is just like a new iteration of a fighting game. New characters and new items, new mechanics. Stuff like that.

What nintendo is doing now is releasing the exact same games on the 3DS with some perks like updated graphics.
