Today I was going to announce that I hate Nintendo for taking my best gaming years away from me, but then I realized I could be bi-polar

Oddly enough my friend and I were complaining about the steps Nintendo has taken recently, then I see Nintendo direct today. I'm excited for a few games shown, and some I really wonder why they're spending time on such things...

How many studios does Nintendo own? What are they all doing at one particular time? They have more than just Monolith and Retro....what happened to Camelot?

They just made Mario Tennis Open. They will need some time, maybe 2014. And probably for 3DS.

I know that Nintendo make a ton of money franchising every Mario game, but I really think they should be looking to expand it's diversity. For instance, what if Nintendo said to each one of their divisions, "We're going to give each of you the chance to come up with a design proposal for a new franchise. If we like it, you'll get to develop it and release it". Hell, the same could be said for Nintendo's 2nd part division, just that Nintendo would put funds towards it.

Nintendo have a LOT of divisions/2nd parties probably dying for an attemt to develop something unique, yet 1/3 of them are forced to develop eg. Pokemon spinoffs.
