Why Doesn't Nintendo Just Make Games Like Zombi U On Their Own?

It never made sense to me that Nintendo was able to give up on a significant portion of the gaming market without a fight. It felt kind of arrogant, to be honest, like they thought more mature titles were a fad that would quickly fade away. Except they're not.

They're successful at what they do, though, so I guess they don't have to diversify. Still, it's kind of a shame. Perhaps they have different plans with the Wii U.

I think that they do have to diversify if they want game consumers to genuinely believe that they can cator to all types of gamers...

Games like ZombiU and Bayonetta 2 will definitely help, but Nintendo is going to have to think longrun; two games will not be enough to persuade many...

They need a franchise that is as big as Halo, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Resident Evil, etc. ... in that tier of appeal but of equal/better quality.

And I don't think this is really so difficult for them. They have the talent to do it. Seemingly not the desire though.

I think they have this irrational fear that if they start making games like this, they could be successful at it, and then it would compromise their carefully cultivated image as the Walt Disney of gaming.

So they basically just take the naive approach in thinking third parties will take care of it for them.
