>>713092973>th-they are so focused on qualityNo I didn't say this as the exclusive reason, Nintendo also isn't interested in an IP if there's no reasonable avenue to shove a gimmick in or there isn't a compelling gimmick to shove in that would go with the IP
Zelda + Open World is an easy choice, F-Zero + 98 Other Racers is an easy choice and probably developed specifically because of that guy who bought enough Nintendo shares to ask why F-Zero was being left to die at a shareholder's meeting, there's cool ideas like a heavily expanded Star Fox from this guy
>>713092879 that I think would probably get shot down for the large scope on an IP that's an arcadey rail shooter first and foremost, meanwhile F-Zero GX is so fucking good and F-Zero itself so impenetrable to gimmick ideas to zhuzh it up that they're probably just never gonna touch it again after F-Zero 99
