Nintendo & Sega actually had quite a bit of respect for eachother during the Gen 5 Console Era. Yuji Naka also had respect for Miyamoto's work & it's funny you mentioned Spielberg, as he was a huge fan of Nights. I remember reading that Yuji Naka had intentions to release a 2nd Nights game in the 90s after he was sure it was every bit as good as the original Nights into Dreams. Supposedly Christmas Nights was all that came of that cancelled Nights game.

Ristar was also a single game series, much like Nights was before the Wii Sequel. I imagine that the Nights series would have been a passion filled side project that would go years between releases. I'm starting to understand your viewpoint of Ristar vs Kirby.

Pokemon series was having a huge backlash a couple months ago when it was revealed that half the Pokemon weren't going to be coded into the upcoming game pair. Pokemon's fanbase is just as divided as the Sonic fanbase these days & many are saying that GameFreak started getting lazy after the switch to 3D. I'm willing to cut XY slack for being GameFreak's 1st attempt at 3D, however that doesn't excuse the problems with later games. ORAS intentionally left out Trainer Customization & Battle Frontier. Let's go had the severe overfocus on Kanto (not even the Gen2 evolutions of Gen1 Pokemon were available in game) & very little in terms of post game offered. Gen7 overall is often thought of as too handholdy.

As for Digimon, Adventure Tri was great & I kind of want other nostalgia series like it. In a way its kind of like the Sonic Adventure 3 for Digimon. What is it you miss most about Classic Digimon? The fact that it wasn't afraid to get dark yet still market itself for kids? Also by Classic Digimon does that include Tamers & Frontier? Kids were treated much more maturely 20 years ago than they are these days.
