If you only release 1 game over the decades, then you can set all kinds of records! ๐๐ฅณ
That's true. But that isn't what Nintendo has done, is it? I've bought lots of games made by Nintendo. Literally all the (physical) games I have are by Nintendo. ๐ค
That's great and all. How's Mario kart 9 treating you?
I don't understand the point you're trying to make here.
The original commenter is talking about Mario Kart 8 being the only Mario kart game in a decade.
They didn't say that though, they said the only game.
Yeah sorry, I did mean in the series.
Are you mentally deficient?
Yeah totally true. People always buy 10 year old games that suck in droves. Oh wait
Obviously it has to be good from the start, but yes. See GTA and Skyrim as examples where they support and market an old title.
The original commenter was implying the game wasn't that good, they just didn't release others. My point was exactly that it had to be good for people to still be buying/playing it.
The sarcasm here tells us you're not that familiar with the games industry
So you're claiming that old games that suck are popular or....?
I think I misread what you said because MK8 doesn't suck. But still arguably yes, case in point being Skyrim IMO. Or like, Fallout 4
My point was that if a game sells for a decade it's obviously pretty good
Yeah, just ask Bethesda about Skyrim!
