It's amazing that it is so hard to understand that Nintendo's games primarily fall into two categories, sequels and casual games. I just want Nintendo to make a game that is for core gamers AND entirely new like Pikmen, Advance Wars and Metroid Prime. I remember the day I first played Metroid Prime, it was so new and awesome, it still is one of my all-time favorite games. I may be selfish but I want Nintendo to focus some of its innovation on a core game as opposed to titles like Nintendogs or Big Brain Academy.

 

But wait, those games couldn't possibly be new because Metroid Prime and Advance Wars were sequels to games Nintendo made for the NES/SNES ... Punch-Out and Kid Icarus obviously couldn't be great games because they are sequels to games on the NES/SNES ... Hell, we can't include games like Disaster: Day of Crisis as being good games even though it is new because it is developed by Nintendo.

 

Disaster: Day of Crisis is being developed by Monolith Soft, a company that I did know was purchased by Nintendo. Metroid Prime was hardly a run of the mill sequel as it brought Metroid into 3D gaming in the same way as Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. Thanks for pointing out that Advance Wars was the 6th iteration in the Nintendo Wars series. A game that impressed me to no end was actually something that Nintendo had done many times before which doesn't actually help your argument. I did not list Kid Icarus because it was not listed on the Wikipedia article I used. I may have been unfair in labelling Punch-Out as meerly a sequel, perhaps it may be something more.
