Nintendo has had a pretty big problem with new IPs ever since the N64. Aside from a few titles like The Wonderful 101 and X, Nintendo is mostly just making sequels. Sure Mario Kart and Smash Bros will sell a lot, but it will sell to the same audience already buying the WiiU. Nintendo needs to appeal to a new crowd, like they did with the Wii by making games like Wii Sports and Wii Fit. They were able to sell to soccor moms and old people. You can't keep selling a console to the Nintendo faithfuls, it's time to attract new audiences. 

Now I'm not saying Nintendo should stop making sequels to popular franchises, but they need to get their top brass (Retro and Miyamoto) working on new IPs to appeal to an entirely different audience. Double down new games. Get someone working on a racing sim to bring over the Gran Turismo/Forza crowd. Make a shooter to appeal to COD/Battlefield fans. A cinematic game for Uncharted lovers. Sandbox games for GTA/Saints Row fans. They could even create something with an M rating. Don't worry Nintendo, I won't be corrupted if I see blood or hear curse words. Maybe even an MMO. Experiment a little, try something new. Get Miyamoto away from manangement and have him start making games again! 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
