I'm sorry. But I keep on hearing this, even though they made new IPS out the ass last gen, with the Wii _____ games especially being a HUGE reason for Wii's success. They've got the Xenoblade franchise now, and they're coming out with Splatoon next year. Not to mention W101, publishing Lego City, publishing Bayonetta 2 and Devil's Third (or for that matter the improved version of Ninja Gaiden III at launch.).
Yes, they lean on Zelda, Mario, SB, MK, Kirby, Metroid, AC, Pokemon, etc., but MS and Sony lean on a lot of the same shit every gen too. So did Sega. Off the top of my head, Wii last gen alone had Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, Wii Play, Wii Play Motion, Wii Music, Wii Party, Big Brain Academy (or whatever it's called), Endless Ocean 1 + 2, Disaster: Day of Crisis (Which they were dumb and didn't bring to NA, the market it was pretty much made for), Fling Smash, and Xenoblade. They also funded/published Pandora's Tower and The Last Story in Japan, as well as (I believe) the previous Fatal Frame (which again they were dumb and didn't bring to NA).
I think we'll continue to see new IPs from Nintendo. But OF COURSE they're going to also continue making new entries in their long running franchises. Why? Because people want them, and they're usually (not always, but usually) good or even great. |
Hahaha great work. You have not read a word I've written.
What you've written is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Last gen they made a tonne of completely new games and it led to a tonne of sales. This gen they've only manged two on Wii U. You're pulling mental gymnastics trying to make out that Lego and Bayonetta are somehow new IP.
I'll repeat this again in caps because no one seems to be reading the actual thread. NINTENDO'S FRANCHISES ARE IN DECLINE. THE BUSINESS WILL DIE UNLESS THEY BRING IN NEW CONSUMERS. TO DO THIS THEY MUST CREATE A WEALTH OF NEW IP.
