If you had told anyone that a game like Hi-Fi Rush would be a hit in 2023, this would’ve been the same sentiment. If the games are good, they’ll attract sales and positive attention, and you build the IPs from there. There’s always a market for high quality games.This... there is a specific audience that has nostalgia for those properties, but those are not the marketable mascot properties nintendo has, and it is quite a while since they where really in the eye of the mainstream and not just in collections or games marketed at old fans.
I wish them good luck,. but they cant relly on their history. They really need to sell this to a new audience, to stand in this new landscape. And they need new ips that connect to their heritage but make it more mass market compatible. This seems to hinge to much onto their legacy.
As long as Sega doesn’t function under the assumption that these will be mega hits, I don’t see how this can be spun as a bad thing at all. Sega’s got more than enough going on with their other IPs right now to say they’re relying entirely on their history. It’s the perfect time to bring these games back, while their other premiere franchises continue to flourish (or try to, in Sonic’s case).
