Game franchises that have regressed

[Ikagura Ikagura]

I'm having a hard time thinking of a franchise that has not regressed in some capacity tbh.

Kirby thanks to Forgotten Land and Return to Dreamland Deluxe.

Donkey Kong with Tropical Freeze and the upcoming Bananza (hopefully).

Mario Bros thanks to Wonders.

I'm talking about the latest entry.

Regressed means about the last game of a series becoming worse.

Also NSMB on the DS was an actually good game that improved upon the side scroller formula we haven't seen any original game since Mario Land 2.

I understand the nostalgia for Land 1 and 2 but they're also short games and I think that the second one is a bit too easy as well.

All solid picks there.
