it's how Fire Emblem brought itself back from ending up as another F-Zero, Metroid, Star Fox, Earthbound and Advanced Wars

I should note here that EarthBound as a series is finished, as in, the story that the original creator/writer wanted to tell across the games has concluded, and he has no interest in making another one. Since he has partial ownership of the series, Nintendo can't make another one without him.

it's how those Xenoblade games sell especially 2 over 1 because it's got dozens of those girls as well as a built in gacha system as well

Xenoblade 1 and X sold pretty well, considering the consoles they were released on (1 was a late Wii title, far past the point where the casual Wii crowd stopped buying games for it; X released on the ill-fated Wii U, and pretty late as well). Xenoblade 2 had the advantage of being released in the launch year of the Switch, and the Switch even then doing much better than the Wii U did.

I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing.
