Lol this is stupid. You have to include all of the mario games and spinoffs and all of the zelda games and zelda spinoffs etc. Mario Kart is a mario spinoff for example.

Surely you're able to see the difference between a Mario platformer and a Mario racer.

Surely you're able to see why I'm hesitant to consider it its own franchise at the same time.

The differing mechanics between a platformer and a racer?

Not to mention that Nintendo games follow the same formulas and mechanics for the most part since the originals.

Applies to pretty much every game in existence: racing games have all been about getting to the finish line first for example, first-person shooters involve shooting, hack-and-slash involve hacking and slashing, platformers involve not letting gravity kill you.

So what? Other developers have greatly expanded the types of games and scope of games. Nintendo is stagnant pumping out the same games every generation with a few half-assed attempts at new IPs.
