The Nintendo should some of there and not just rely on 20 years old IPs


Pikmin? Xenoblade? The Last Story?


Nintendo didnt make Xenoblade or the Last Story.


Erm... Xenoblade was made by Monolith Soft, which is owned by Nintendo.

Nintendo weren't the developers of The Last Story, not actually owning Mistwalker, but it was made in collaboration with Nintendo, and financed by Nintendo, and thus is still counted, as much as Pokemon (made by GameFreak, a second-party developer for Nintendo) is still a Nintendo series.

Interesting Namco must've sold the shares to Nintendo. Theres never been a Xenoblade game exclusive to Nintendo or even on it, its usually Playstation. This explains why there was no Xenoblade on the PS3 this gen. 

Yeah, if I recall correctly Namco sold 80% of Monolith to Nintendo back not long after the start of the generation.  I think they still own 16% of the studio, which probably explains why they still developed a few Super Robot Wars and DBZ games after the Nintendo acquisition.  At the moment they are working on an unnannounced game (I personally think it is a 3rd Baten Kaitos game) and with Banpresto on Project X Zone for the 3DS (presumably for Namco).
