1. Mario - But that would leave Nintendo with just Zelda and Metroid since they don't make new IPs anymore, they just keep making sequels and remakes. Don't get me wrong, Mario is fun, but all I'm really trying to do here is stress that Nintendo needs new IP's, not just more Mario games. Mario is good every 3-4 years, and in that gap there should be new IPs.


They already have new IP's.

Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Super Smash Bros.


Yeah true! But I mean like recently made. In the past 10 years what have they made aside from the Wii series and Brain Age? Those 4 series you listed are all over 10 years old.

Steel Diver? What?

Xenoblade Chronicles? Fair Enough.

Soma Bringer? What?

Disaster: Day of Crisis? What?

Nintendogs? Sold well but come on, I'm talking good series here like on par with their better stuff (Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Mario, etc.)

Giftpia? What?

Chibi Robo? What?

Dillon's Rollilng Western? LOL What???

Art Style? What?

Maboshi? What?

Sakura Samurai? What?

Odama? What?

Dude I've heard of two series from that list, and one is a little kids game that sold well on DS...but I do grant you Xenoblade Chronicles. 

It's a pretty odd list. I've only heard of 3 of the games on the list myself (the same ones as you have, plus Disaster Day of Crisis, which was released in Europe, but not America).

There are a few more new IPs from Nintendo than he listed, though. Starting from the 6th generation, you have Advance Wars (strategy game), Golden Sun, WarioWare (although it's debateable if this is a new IP),  Battallion Wars (strategy game), Geist (shooter), Rhytm Heaven (music game),

In addition, you have the previously mentioned Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Brain Training, Big Brain Academy, Wii Series, Nintendogs, Xenoblade and Disaster Day of Crisis.

Then there's also a bunch of training games, and other games that don't fit the usual definition of games.

It's not a gigantic list, by any means, but there are some. If you say that Nintendo develop 8 games a year, I'd estimate that 1 would be a new IP, 2 would be in series less than 10 years old, and 5 would be in series more than 10 years old.
