Congratulations! You've just been put in charge of a long-running game series! But, oh no, it looks like your fans aren't as into the games as they used to be. What do you do? Maybe it's time for a reboot. Or work in some new game mechanics. That should get people interested, right? Maybe.

Fans are fickle, and not matching their expectations can be just as disastrous for a series. Let's talk about 3 games - 2 that messed around with the game's core mechanics and botched it, and one that did it almost perfectly, and learn what it takes to meet fan expectations.

Featuring:
Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts
Brutal Legend
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
