One of the things, that I think really pushes Nintendo forward is, that they truly understand how to keep a franchize alive.
Ubisoft execs know, that everyone is begging them for a new splinter cell. Yet, all we got from Sam Fisher in past 10 years were... 2 cameos?
On the other hand, Nintendo put's Mario and Luigi into EVERYTHING. And even, when there was some series quite down (Like Metroid), they did push it HARD when they reviewed it.

I am actually quite sad from the way, that the entire racing genre has been dead for at least 10 years now.
And I mean, absolutely dead.

No, Forza is barely a game.
Wipeout was such a horribly made game, it didn't even let me change controls. And NFS is barely worth releasing.
I recently went into an oldschool arcade, and it was filled with racking games, and I had insane fun. But the thing, that surprised me was, that I already forgot, just how meaningful is the multiplayer tournament economy. Just the simple loop of "you get money to improve your car after each 2 min race" made the entire dinamic 10 times more enjoyable, then anything I saw in the last 10 years.

Do you mean the 20 or 13 year old Most wanted?
Because, I think that reffering to a 20 year old game does fit the definition of a dead genre perfectly.
