   One of the things, that I think really pushes Nintendo forward is, that they truly understand how to keep a franchize alive.

   Ubisoft execs know, that everyone is begging them for a new splinter cell. Yet, all we got from Sam Fisher in past 10 years were... 2 cameos?

   On the other hand, Nintendo put's Mario and Luigi into EVERYTHING. And even, when there was some series quite down (Like Metroid), they did push it HARD when they reviewed it.

     I'm kind of surprised how cheap Nintendo stock is but then I learned that basically investors go off of their revenue growth but the japanese/nintendo way of business is more about reinvesting it into the company for further growth which turns shareholders off.

     But in my opinion it just sounds like a good idea to buy some stock into it because it will almost always be stable and I can never really see Nintendo going out of business.

     It's kind of like Ford stock in my opinion, the stock will go up a few dollars and go down but it's just stable. Any other opinions about it?

     @LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter metroid other m was in 2010
     then you had a 7 year gap until metroid 2 remake. then another 4 until dread, 2 until mp1 remaster, hopefully mp4 this year. so that's a decent time between mainline games but overall not too shabby.

     star fox zero came out in 2016. bone dry ever since. break's metroid's absent spell. 9 years. on top of that, star fox zero was both a rehash of 64 and a

     none are as bad as f-zero though. f-zero's last game was in 2004. and no, f-zero 99 does not count.

     I am actually quite sad from the way, that the entire racing genre has been dead for at least 10 years now.

     And I mean, absolutely dead.

     No, Forza is barely a game.
     Wipeout was such a horribly made game, it didn't even let me change controls. And NFS is barely worth releasing.

     I recently went into an oldschool arcade, and it was filled with racking games, and I had insane fun. But the thing, that surprised me was, that I already forgot, just how meaningful is the multiplayer tournament economy. Just the simple loop of "you get money to improve your car after each 2 min race" made the entire dinamic 10 times more enjoyable, then anything I saw in the last 10 years.

     @LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter I wouldn't say entirely dead as Forza is pretty much the big name racing game currently and there's a handful of indie racing games inspired by F-zero and Wipeout but yeah a new NFS or Midnight Club would be cool.

     @LukeAlmighty @Ace66062 @Mr_NutterButter Racing games are all sim-y now so they're not fun. I emulated Gran Turismo 2 on my PC a few months ago and I had a BLAST on my very first race.

     @LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter Ok but I said games inspired BY F-Zero and Wipeout usually improving upon both those games flaws (ballisticNG is pretty good as an example) but yes as far as arcade racers go they're absolutely dead and you're only seeing them in arcades which sucks because there's too many racing games that are just simulators.
     >And NFS is barely worth releasing.
     Absolutely disagree, Most Wanted was a great game and I believe the series can bring something new to the table thats also plain fun.

     @Ace66062 @Mr_NutterButter
     Do you mean the 20 or 13 year old Most wanted?

     Because, I think that reffering to a 20 year old game does fit the definition of a dead genre perfectly.
