The fact is Nintendo made the original, so it's thier right to copy themselves. Is that an excuse for the games not improving? No, and if it is, that's a horrible excuse. But like I said, w/o head up competition games never improve..

See GBA if you want a perfect example of this. If Pokemon had threatening competition it would have progressed a LOT more in it's series than it has... but because it doesn't have any competition to fall behind, miminal improvement is all it needs.

People should be thanking god Mario Kart has competition, unless they want the same SNES game one more generation
