Nintendo: All These Sequels Don't Mean We're 'Playing It Safe'

I miss the Nintendo that produced Nintendogs, Brain Age, Brain Academy, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Music, etc.

Those were all great new IPs which were also new gameplay experiences.

I don't really count Nintendoland in with this group because it's mostly, if not totally all old gameplay experiences just reskinned and lumped together.

Nintendo released a Brain Age on 3DS and people on this site crucified them for it, "Why would Nintendo think anyone would be gullible enough to pay for mini games they can get for free on their phone?"

You missed the point.    At the time Nintendo was release game experiences which were new and interesting.   There's nothing new and interesting about it now and yes clones are available on smartphones for next to nothing.  There would be nothing new about a Wii Sports U and I don't think it'd help WiiU sales at all.   I'm not suggesting they make more of the same games, I'm suggesting they don't and make all new game experiences like they use to.
