Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo has made 71 Brand new Franchises Since 2001

naruball on 24 July 2014

I'm confused. Is this a list of new franchises or new ips? I mean, Infamous is a franchise, but The Last of Us isn't, right?

Also, I have to say, personally I'm not very impressed. I hope they come up with a new ip to rival Mario/Zelda/Pokemon in terms of mass appeal. I've heard great things about Xenoblade and Wonderful 101, but in terms of franchises, I think they need to put a bit more effort into their new ip's to make them truly successful.

I didn't say they should. You said that Nintendo is one of the best at building franchises, and I pointed out that the vast majority (85+%) meet failure after the first game.


No, I said they were one of the best at investing in them and keep them afloat. The ones people buy.

AKA building the franchise. When you invest in it and keep it afloat, you build it.

And I just pointed out that only an abysmal percent of those franchises were invested in and kept afloat.

I realize I'm being horrendously anal...
But Art Style (which should be under Wii Ware, not Wii) is actually the same thing as bit Generations (Gameboy Advance)...
All of the Wii Ware Art Style titles and at least one of the DSi Ware Art Style titles are enhanced remakes of the original bit Generations games...
Speaking of which, have I told all of you how much I love the Art Style series???



Have a nice day...

A lot of those franchises are dead. Making a franchise is easy, investing in it and keeping it afloat is hard.

I don't think anyone would want to invest in franchises like Bonsai Barber though..

I bolded a few more games that have seen very strong success and may see sequels or spiritual sequels. I count 28 games here, far more than 6.

And yet the vast majority will never see a sequel. Not really keeping a franchise afloat if the first game is the only game.
