Notes OVA when?Why is all new Type Moon stuff Fateshit? Will Nasu ever write an original story set in the Nasuverse again?

Nasu should just go full Tom Clancy and find a few ghostwriters he can feed vague ideas to and let them flesh out the rest.
fateshit sells.

Two reasons: First,he fate franchise still makes a lot of money and second, the setting of the Fate franchise is really versatile, so it's really, really easy to spin new stories with it.
Compare this to KnK, Tsukihime, Notes or Mahoyo in which the stories are rather self contained, and you cannot milk them nearly as much as the Fate franchise.
Sure, there are things such as Melty Blood, but there's only so much you can do with MB as opposed to some new Fate story, in which you can do virtually any scenario and keep the Heroes system (hell, it isn't even limited to heroes these days, anyone old enough and with some fame can show up these days as a Servant).
From a business perspective, the Fate franchise is almost perfect.

The thing about Melty Blood is that it not only appeals to otaku but to a completely different audience too, it has range.
Yes people meme about poverty game but you can see normalfags playing MB in EVO, and by normalfags I mean true normalfags not Street Fighter retards that hate everything that's not SF.
Nasu is stupid for keeping Melty Blood down as a franchise, French Bread was ready to release MB HD back in 2011 or so.

Yeah, I'm not saying MB is in any way unpopular, nor is any other TM work.
My point simply was Fate stories are far easier to made, they do not have to be limited to a single scenario (which is the case with MB), and thus you can virtually do UNLIMITED FATE WORKS.

Sure thing bro.You can say the same thing for Tatari in Mrelty Blood. That doesn't mean making dozens of spin-offs out of it doesn't get boring after the 10th time.

It's versatile m8
Sure, it's the same fucking system, but the location it takes place in can be different every time (fuck, Extra takes place in the bloody Moon), the Masters can be different every single time, same with the Servants. Sometimes even rules that applied to one story doesn't necessarily apply to the rest (like the Servant system being a Fuyuki thing only in F/sn, but lo and behold and look at all the other games).

That doesn't make it any less repetitive, m8. The story is just as stale as those tournaments in fighting games. You can introduce new characters, but that doesn't change the fact you're regurgitating the same shit again and again.

Yeah, but again, I'm talking from a business perspective here.
People keep buying this "shit". TM keeps making good money with it. So, if you can keep serving your customers shit, because they keep asking for the same shit, why would you attempt to serve them anything else, when they want it and it's very easy to take a shit?
Is it a good long run business decision? Who knows? My guess is they'll keep milking the Fate series until its sales begin to decline - that, or they'll try to revamp it somehow, and either make some success or absolutely fail and hard.

MB can't compete with BB or even GG in arcades and it'll never catch on in the west. There's not much money in the franchise, especially compared to Fate.
Also, most SF players are willing to try other games, but if there's no money in it they won't stick to it.

>MB can't compete with BB or even GG in arcades
That's because you are comparing a low-res definition game with HD ones. Sides, MB had a big community in the west and the only reason it died is because no new games have been released in years.
Melty Blood anime never. T_T
