make a new one

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not, but I never quite get this 'Nintendo never makes any new franchises, or doesn't make enough' thing that gets thrown around.  IMO, Nintendo should make less new IPs and focus more attention and marketing on each one.

Nintendo's 1st parties have brought us new IPs this gen such as: Nintendogs, Soma Bringer, Wii..., Xenoblade, Disaster,  Big Brain Acadamy, Eco Shooter, That walking device thingy, Cooking guide and probably some more I've forgotten.

Nintendo have also published and helped with many more games such as Endless Ocean, Bonsai Barber, Rooms, ASH, Hotel Dusk/Last Window, Captain Rainbow, Zangeki no Reinglev, Marionation Gear, Lonpos, etc.



well before any mod thinks i'm trolling i should clear this up.

wht i want them to do is dig into the largest catalog in the history of gaming and make something big happen. something new from the house that Mario built would be refreshing, but not more so then a Starfox  or something gamers keep asking for but Nintendo continues to refuse us so if Shigeru Miyamoto won't make something old new? he should make a new legend.


You know, I pretty much agree with you.  Nintendo should make a high profile, so called 'core' 1st party new IP.  The Last Story is probably the closest thing we've going to get this generation.  Last gen had Pikmin and the 5th gen had Pokemon, Smash Bros and to a lesser degree 1080.  Nintendo have quite a few new IPs, just not many are as high profile as the likes of Uncharted, LBP, etc.  Like I said at the beginning of my original post, IMO Nintendo should actually make the same number or less new IPs, and focus more on marketing them.  I just get a bit annoyed at the people who claim Nintendo doesn't make any new IPs, despite loads being released this gen.

PS.  I love love to see Nintendo's take on a sandbox game.  To me it see the entire genre is fixated around organised crime, perhaps they could make one that isn't.
