Reflecting on Nintendo's past statements and overall philosophy I do not believe this behavior is regressive. They are considering quality over quantity as well as a steady release of unique and genuine gaming experiences. Nintendo has built up considerable goodwill and this new approach will allow them to be seen as a quality option when compared to Microsoft and Sony. When a product seems exclusive and elite it is more desirable. Overall, as a consumer with limited disposable income and finite free time, this is a winning scenario. I only want to play the best of the best. Furthermore, it goes without saying that striking a balance between openness and exclusivity is key.
Games like this dilute the Mario brand. Why not release Mario Strikers? They have already released a Tennis game on the 3DS, so one would think this is overkill.
