Let's see
- Internal teams are making less games than ever before, console/handheld hardware consolidation done specifically to prevent droughts has been an utter failure.
- Same engine sequels like TOTK are taking 6 years to create when the whole point of sequels like it are faster turn around with the reuse.
- 3D Mario team hasn't put out a major game for 7+ years now. Even in the best case scenario and they have a new game coming this year, 7 years between titles is crazy!
- Gamefreak. Nuff said.
- Mario Sports games are in the dumpster because of likely of bad managerial decisions regarding DLC.
- Camelot being stuck in sport games hell for over 15 years
- Allowing NST to be stuck in Mario Vs DK hell until just last year. They should have been nerfed up and more directly managed after the Project HAMMER mess, Nintendo has room to expand with Western developers
- Letting studios like Alpha Dream and Skip Ltd die after greenlighting bad projects (Ziplash, too late 3DS remakes of M&L games)
- Implementing the Mario IP mandate and tripling down on the new Paper Mario formula in the face of explicit and overt criticism
- Prime 4 was completely mismanaged to the point of rebooting the entire project.
- Retro Studios going 10 years between new releases, post TF game getting mismanaged and cancelled as a result. Also somehow taking 5+ years to make a Metroid Prime 4 with zero to show for it.
I would say so in my opinion!
1. Nintendo realese pretty much a game every months, it's one of the most prolific producer and had many smaller titles alongside bigger budget projects, look at 2023 with WarioWare Mario RPG alongside mid size project like Bayonetta Origins, Mario Wonder and Engage and bigger like Zelda TotK and Pikmin 4.
2. TotK run on a different engine than Totk, one year of delay because covid and one year spent to just polish one of the most complex physics system of the industries
3. Yeah, the fact that the 3D Mario Team didn't release a new game is a bit strange, but I think we have to wait a bit more to see what they are cooking. Like maybe we could get two projects in a span of a year.
4. GF is an independent dev and TPC is the one who manage the Brand.
5. Mario Sports game ls where never that good, we only like it because we were kids at the time.
6. Camelot is an independent studio and they could work on other projects if they wants to
7. NST management is not a Switch era thing, it come from the iwata heritage and only with Switch they started making new titles and Bowser Fury was made thanks to their contributions.
8. Alpha Dream was a really small studio, with bad managements and the hinability to work on HD games, they didn't even had a 3D artist. Some of the employees where merged to the company. Skip is not a worth it developer. How about next level game and SRD acquisition? What about Nintendo Studio and Nintendo system?
9. The Mario mandate was a Wii/WiiU thing not on Switch..
10. That could happen with every company
11. Retrostudio mismanagement was mainly during the wii u era, with the Switch they completely revamped the team, for Metroid Prime they are taking the normal time for a AAA games with even covid, the fact we haven't see it yet is mostly because they had to showcase other metroid games before that and the likely cross-gen nature of the project.
That post is mostly misinformation from a distorted perspective.
