Off the top off my head, I can name: (I'm including all new IPs Nintendo made this gen that have have featured on the Wii)
Wii.... Disaster: DoC Zangeki no Reinglev Xenoblade Chronicles Big Brain Academy The Last Story Line Attack Heroes Flingsmash Captain Rainbow Eco Shooter 530 Endless Ocean Another Code And Kensaku Pandora's Tower Bonsai Barber
As one can clearly see, there have been many new IPs this gen on Wii. Anybody that denies that is just misinformed. However, Nintendo is lacking in a high profile, high quality, so called 'hardcore' New IP that can sell millions of copies. The closest they have is The Last Story. I've mentione this many times on this forum, but I don't think Nintendo need more IPs, they could probably get away with less of them. They instead, need to change their culture regarding new IPs. Currently, many of their new IPs are low profile, low selling, not exactly critically acclaimed and not always released in PAL/US. This is what needs to change, not the actual number of New IPs which is fine. |
Zangeki no Reinglev was developed by Sandlot, a third party company.
Last Story was developed by Mistwalker, which as far as I know, is still third party.
When I meant released by Nintendo, I didn't just mean published. While those two above are exclusive and most others are made by companies that are either exclusive to Nintendo or are a part of Nintendo themselves, most of the games never came out of Japan, which is a limiting themselves.
They do need another IP to bring some fresh air to the company, a series that has the potential to sell a lot of units.
