Yes, they set themselves apart from others but do not reinvent themselves, which holds less value than one might think imo. At this point though, they don't need to reinvent themselves, they're doing just fine!  PS: I'm talking about the games and not the console, not a lot of new, exciting IP's from Nintendo or too many vastly different takes on the old ones, after all. |
Even Nintendo has admitted that making a new good IP is tough. The last successful one was Pikmin, unless you want to count Wii xxx. They had Project Hammer (scrapped it due to it being boring) and Disaster which truely was a distaster in marketing. So, while they love to make their IPs last a long time, they also do try to make new ones. It just takes time to find something successful, and Nintendo doesn't like to release the ones that they think won't last.
