The number is pretty impressive... Too bad the same thing cannot be said for some of those games! I mean, Bonsai Barber? Fossil Fighters? Steel Diver? Those aren't spectacular games or anything!

I think you already know this or rather realized this, but the point is they do indeed create new IPs or are open to new IPs. I also get tired of all the whining that they are only Mario and Zelda, or even Pokemon, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Kirby...wait a second if I stopped there it would be impressive. Some of the most iconic franchises. People need to find something new to gripe about. They do try new things. Publishing Bayonetta 2 is...um...quite a departure. While not a new franchise, nor their franchise, they are open to the risqué. It's a shame their tent pole IPs  destroy most other IPs in terms of quality and imagination that they usually tower over the competition - in what they do that is. Their top tier titles are so great that it almost seems like that's all they do. 

Sure! I'm not saying otherwise, and I do appreciate a lot what they are doing with games like Bayo 2 and Devil's Third, but I simply wish that more of those games were fully-fleshed out games and not some random downloadable titles!
