Nintendo is widely popular for its vast catalog of amazing and appealing IPs. Their collection of characters and games is so large that Switch players can hardly complain about the lack of content. There is Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, and many more.

However, having such a vast catalog can also become a headache sometimes, even for a giant like Nintendo. And it was recently revealed by its president during a meeting.

Nintendo president reveals they can’t realistically make sequels to every request made by the fans

As reported by VGC, president Shuntaro Furukawa was speaking in a general meeting earlier this week. During the meeting, one shareholder asked him if they will consider bringing new installments or remakes in some of their dormant franchises like F-Zero or Wario Land. To this, Furukawa replied by saying that Nintendo cannot realistically make sequels to every series that fans want to have.

“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,” said the president.
