I’ve noticed something a little curious lately on a few of the key Nintendo games, and I think it’s especially of note since there is going to be an update to the Wii this spring where you can buy smaller Wii games and add them to your console.
Games like Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy seem to have this world map that expands and new things appear as you progress in the game. While that’s not necessarily a new convention for Nintendo—quite the opposite actually—I think it lays the groundwork for something nice and expandable when this spring rolls around. What’s to stop Nintendo from updating the map again via a downloadable update to your game so you’ll have a little more Mario or Metroid to play? (Giant hopes for Metroid expansions. That game is like crack to me.)
Does this seem possible to anyone else?
