Unfortunately this is the world we have because of capitalism. Whether it’s sitting on real estate investments and hoarding housing from those that need it or hoarding IP it’s the same shit.
Yeah, it’s just a shame. There was a brief era where Nintendo was a lot more willing to let other companies play with their IP, which got us everything from Super Mario RPG to F Zero GX/AX. Zelda had the Oracle games and the Minish Cap, and hell fucking Smash Brothers has never been made by one of Nintendo’s development teams.
Recently there was the Mario+Rabbids XCom game, Fire Emblem/Hyrule Warriors, and I guess the big one Metroid Prime 4 is still in development, but it’s definitely a slow down from the old days.
There’s a gap in the market for proper F Zero and Star Fox sequels, a hundred great game dev studios who could make those games, and plenty of historical precedent is what I’m saying. It’s strange that those franchises have seemingly been thrown in a vault, never to be seen again.
F zero was so fuckin rad. There was nothing that fast in the gamecube era on any platform. Racing game developers love to throw around the term white knuckle a lot but god damn was that it.

And Metroid Prime, often put on lists of the best games ever, was made by a second party studio.

Cadence of Hyrule as well. We need more shit like that.
