I actually agree with you, but for me, Nintendo was about making games that wowed you. They haven't done that so much lately. Sure, other developers fail to do so as well but that's nothing new. I only criticize Nintendo because I love them. And while publishing Bayonetta 2 sure was a surprise, it doesn't affect me as it's not a big thing at all. I want to be wowed again like I got wowed playing Ocarina of Time or Super Mario Galaxy. |
Games like those wowed us because they either changed gameplay paradigms or introduced new ones. We can name very few games that did so: Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter 2, SimCity, Goldeneye (N64), Super Mario 64, Wii Sports, Metal Gear Solid etc..
That said, I have bad news for you: it´s very, very unlikely, in a near future, that any developer will be able to bring us this kind of perception again. Even with motion controls and touch screens, what we have today (and what we will have with next-gen) is not much different from what we´ve already known or experienced.
