They made several in the last gen, and they were mostly all highly successful, what are you talking about? |
The Wii series of games, like Wii Sports (which they included with every non-Japan console) and Wii Fit? While they sold pretty damn good, they're not exactly new IPs that make you say "Wow, I want to get that game!" Maybe it's the fact that I just woke up, but I don't really recall any brand new IPs this gen from Nintendo. They relied on Mario, Zelda and Pokemon this gen and not much else (not that they need to, though). They had huge gaps in their first party lineup, which is not a good thing if you want to attract gamers (it's been hurting them for the past year or two).
There is a new IP with Xenoblade, but the lack of a US release is kind of stupid. They missed their chance with a new Pikmin, too, but that might help push some Wii Us out the door if they do it for launch.
