Not realistic that Nintendo makes sequels to all the games fans are asking for

Nintendo is admittedly keen on sequels. Only to Switch we have received, to take a few examples, Super Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Super Mario Maker 2. But more wants more.

New Star Fox? Earthbound? Where is Metroid Prime 4? There are requirements, Nintendo admits.

During a meeting with investors (via VGC) Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo CEO, was asked if we might be able to get a new one F-Zero or Wario Land…? Furukawa says they can not fulfill all wishes.

It is realistically difficult to develop new titles and remakes, including sequels, for every Nintendo game that people request, but we are very grateful and appreciate the expectations our fans have for our games.

Shinya Takahashi adds that they have often received follow-up questions about games they have secretly already had under development – so do not stop dreaming! And if possible: try to have realistic dreams.
