Why doesn't Nintendo produce as much games as they used to?

Because the game development cycle takes much longer.

25 years ago a game took 6 months to make on average from start to finish.

Better graphics lead to bigger work load which leads to less shit coming out.

Nintendo is not the only company that suffers from that.
All of them do. Especially the japanese ones.

Only cancer like EA, Ubisoft and Warnerbros benefit from this.
Graphicswhores ruined videogames.

>As they used to

They are still doing the same amount actually

It's the lack of noticable third party making the gap

Games like Ass Creed and CoD come out plenty. There's no excuse.

Why make games when you can sell amiibos?

They reuse assloads of assets in each entry

>>334925060
Most of Nintendo's 2D games now use 3D assets. It also takes longer to create said assets.
>>
>>334925150
They have multiple studios working on multiple games at once.

>as if there aren't backups of mario doing basically anything now

Face it. The 3D meme is a tripe excuse.

Oh yeah and what amazing masterpieces they are.

Game development takes much longer.

The other is that Nintendo releases as many games as it used to. It doesn't shit out three iterations of the same franchise every year. You get your flagship 3D Mario, the NSMB, and the gaggle of spinoffs and experimental titles.

The Wii was the outlier in that we got Mario Galaxy 1 and 2.

They do though

People are easily forgetting the little games and Eshop stuff

Also the Wii U's Library is noticably stuffed with first party

And there's different projects all together

Right now with NX focus obviously

Name a mainline Mario game from 2007 on outside Galaxy 2 that reuses resources.

Strawman.

>a mario game that reuses resources
Why? That's not what that reply is saying. The thread is why they don't make few games, not why make many.

He's probably going to say 3D World

But he's going to forget that 3D World was created first
