Bad news for Nintendo fans, according to a post at Bit Tech the firm will not release any new "core games" for another two to three years. This includes flagships like Mario and Zelda.
Nintendo is adamant that it isn't ignoring the hardcore gaming market and says it has more games on the way.
Nintendo is adamant that it isn't ignoring the hardcore gaming market and says it has more games on the way.
Nintendo has denied neglecting hardcore gamers over the last year and says that it is not just focusing on the casual market for the Wii and DS. In fact, says Nintendo, all internal Nintendo teams are currently working on new core titles based on existing IPs. In other words; lots more Zelda and Mario games.
The bad news? Those games won't be done for another two to three years apparently.
"We have never neglected our core gamers. We still have developers working on popular core gaming franchises but we need longer to complete these games, approximately two to three years," the company told the October issue of Edge (via EG).
