Nintendo on the annualization of franchises
At E3 2015 last week, Nintendo’s Julie Gagnon commented on the annualization of franchises.
Ultimately, the choice lies within the hands of Nintendo’s developers. The company isn’t for or against bringing out new entries in franchises each year – it’s really a matter of what sort of titles the different teams are interested in making.
Here’s a look at Gagnon’s comments in full:
“It really depends on what the developer has in mind for the franchises. Sometimes you have Zelda sequels and what we have today with Zelda: Triforce Heroes is completely different and not in the timeline of Zelda. So, it really depends on what the developer has in mind and what they propose. So, I think it’s more a coincidence that we have all these great franchises that people like for each year. This isn’t necessarily something we will see for all the years in the future.”
