7 "new ip"
mario & sonic was published by sega
other 2 are from third(ubisoft and zumba whatever)
Only 4 are new ips made by nintendo, the other are just sequels, and all off them start with wii..., what a lot belive its a series, like mario kart, mario tennis and mario gold, but lets ignore that.
My only question is: the OP had a friend working at nintendo rigth? Could you be cool and , you know, tell him? Mostly nintendo ignore this board(incridible, i know), but you are the only one here that can actually enter in direct contact with them and tell what they are doing wrong. But hey, this is just a idea.
"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
