>>57019315There are so many things wrong with this.
For one AlphaDream never made it to "HD" development which isn't any different than any other form of development unless you're trying to make something realistic which they weren't but I digress. The point is that they never made a HD game.
Second while the Mario IP itself is big the spin offs like M&L aren't really big, the entire series of AD M&L games only sold 12.76m with the best selling game being BiS with about 4-5m.
AlphaDream also didn't cut corners either it's that they didn't have many good ideas for games fizzling out with remakes of SS and BiS the latter no one wanted since you could just play the original, then there was that whole deal with Sony but that's a different matter.
As for GF being replaced that would be incredibly unlikely, despite how you feel about them if you look at other monster tamers no one does that amount of work for them and they don't release nearly as frequently. Several tamer series have been in development for well over 5 years and they can barely muster a roster of over 200 monsters with dlc and usually don't have anything else to worry about other than the plot and maybe 2 or 3 unique animations for half of them.
Having another developer on the series would absolutely tank it by taking far too long or produce an even worse game than what we have.
