Why Doesn't Nintendo Make the Obvious?

How easy would it be to make a new Star Fox? Just stop thinking about it so much. We don't want Star Fox Adventures, or Star Fox Command, just a plain old normal Star Fox for the Wii. Take the Wiimote, turn it on its side, tip to the left or right to steer in those directions like Excite Truck, 2 button is fire, 1 button is a bomb, directional buttons control your view and flight maneuvers like the infamous barrel roll. There you go, thats it. Now design some levels and make the damn game!

So why don't they? And why don't they make countless other games that would easily sell extremely well? F-Zero, Kid Icarus, Luigi's Mansion 2, Pikmin 3, a Donkey Kong platformer, a 2d Metroid for DS...all of these would be so simple. So what is Nintendo thinking by not pumping them out?

I think I might know the answer, but it scares me. Just look at how well Mario Kart DS still sells despite having been released years ago. It's still at the top of the sales charts most months! So why would Nintendo pump out their next easy hit? Then once they ran out of them they might have to *gasp* think of new properties!

Is this their strategy? Wait until all possible sales have been milked out of a game before they release the next one?

Obviously they intend to keep the Wii around for a long time. So if you don't want to think about new games, and the very first old ones you released are still selling then you might as well wait it out. When Mario Kart stops selling, pop out a quick Donkey Kong or something, then sit back and wait again.

I guess I can't blame them, but I want to inform them of something just in case they are reading this. You had tons of good games for the NES, remake some more of those! Recently we got a Wii Punch-Out, and that was great, but I want to see more of these Wiivivals. I want the word Wiivival to become a common gamer term. When the new Kid Icarus that everyone has been begging for comes out, I want us to describe it as the newest of Nintendo's Wiivivals.

Just comb through your back catalogue, find something that was good but hasn't been remade, and make that. I know its not asking for a lot, but clearly you aren't willing to give a lot this generation. So at least give us this and I'll be happy. I won't even launch into a tirade on the state of the virtual console, or why wou don't start putting up GB and GBA games on DSiWare.
