Why do people keep saying Nintendo is milking their franchises?

That's because it's true. Nintendo doesn't really create that many new IPs in a gen. They make new additions to their main IPs and make off-shoots of those. It works for them but it alienates gamers who want new IPs or more mature games.

It's true. Only Nintendo has the conceit to take an old character , change the setting, add a sidekick and pretend it's something new.

Well I prefer that to taking a game, switch out the protagonist and calling it a new IP

And damn that's an old thread with a weird OP writer
