There are many great things you can say about Nintendo, but there are also areas where they absolutely deserve to be criticized. One of these things is the creation of new core IPs. The last one they made was Pikmin over a decade ago. That is unacceptable.

Xenoblade Chronicles is undoubtedly one of the best third party games that was released on the Wii. It offers a vast world, formidable gameplay and a good story. It was even praised as the best JRPG of the seventh generation. If third parties can step up to provide such fantastic new experiences as Xenoblade Chronicles and to a lesser extent The Last Story, then I don't see why Nintendo should get a free pass. We should expect more than the usual Mario, Zelda and Metroid games. New IPs that rank right up there in terms of quality with the aforementioned games.

Will Nintendo ever make a new core IP as great as Xenoblade Chronicles or is this a hopeless cause?

wrong it's 1st party, great game especially on hacked Wii installed on HDD with Exp turned off
