They're so amazingly dogmatic, too. There's this subtext belief that Nintendo's business decisions are somehow profoundly and uniquely wise, such as the claim that there can't be a new F-Zero game because "there's no conceivable way to make it different each time, which is a Nintendo(tm)(r) mandate" as if it wouldn't be enough to add weapons to the vehicles, customization/performance modifications, power allocation, outright flying or even space segments, or even out-of-the-car gameplay.

Nope. Just the "make it different each time" of the Zelda plot rehashes forever and ever.

Or, make it "different each time" by making it janky in a way most people don't like, like Star Fox Zero which was also a plot rehash, and then shelve the franchise because people didn't like it. Nintendo is that infallible! so-true
