Like i posted on another thread:
Like hell. They're too busy laughing behind their piles of money. They don't care. Much like Square Enix, but even they seem to acknowledge what their fans want.
Atlus and Nintendo on the other hand, no matter what people may think of them, still know how to deliver fresh experiences that their fans WANT.
They're not passionate. That's the key thing. Sure, MM9 and 10 are great, but what next? I for one will be sorely disappointed if they release yet ANOTHER 8-bit MM adventure. I'd love to see MM11, but they have to get with the times. Maybe i'm alone here, but i'm getting tired of them using 8-bit. The nostalgia was great for the previous 2, but that was it. This is 2011.
In all fairness, even Legends 3 didn't look like much of a step up from 2 graphically. But i'll give them the benefit of the doubt in that area, since that was it's first return to the franchise. And it looked hella fun. People like to hate on Nintendo, but they're way of innovating new games like Galaxy, Donkey Kong, Kirby (etc.) has always been beyond that of Capcom.
I still enjoy MegaMan, sure. But they have been really lazy with the franchise as of late.
