For one I think it is too early for the next gen.

Second, Nintendo needs to start giving us some new IPs. I have been seeing Mario, Metroid, Zelda, etc... for over 20 years now. Time to try something new.

While I do hope they continue to make Mario, Metroid, Zelda and the rest I couldn't agree more.  In terms of software the number one thing that Nintendo needs next gen is strong brand new IP's.  You can only develop franchises for so long before people get bored with them, even the mighty Nintendo 1st party games.

Nintendo doesn't have the capacity, quite frankly. Look at the drought we're currently running in: every single first party Wii or 3DS game in the next quarter has been outsourced, and there's still nothing too big out there. Metroid is a waif franchise with no permanent home as it is, as are Star Fox and F-Zero.

They can't make new IPs
