Nintendo needs to expand and use all of their IPs on home consoles

I don't know what's up with Nintendo this gen. It's the strangest thing in video game history.

I mean Melee came out a few months after the GameCube was released, Brawl took about 1.5 years after the Wii, but Smash Bros. For Wii U (even the name is lazy) took 2 years! Also Zelda is taking forever. Almost 3 years later!

Nintendo either needs to hire a lot more or outsource their IPs and make some new ones.

Nintendo didn't plan anything right. They started working on Smash last year. They were already 1 year in of Wii U. That's their problem. To have the game at Wii U launch. It should of been in development before Twilight Princess was released on Wii. Who says they need to speed up production of games. You start them earlier. It be like bitching if an episode of Game Of Thrones was filmed last week. And it was released 3 months later. That's the time it takes. That's why shows are filmed months in advance before announcements are made. WHen Smash Wii U was announced. It should of been 80% done.

Exactly. Not to mention they had issues with HD development as well which were widely known by 2010-12. It's unreal how Nintendo dropped the ball with the Wii U. My estimated total sales was 40 million for it (though I was more conservative at first with 25 million - which it will likely not reach either) cause I knew it wouldn't have the appeal the Wii did but I had no idea how bad Nintendo was doing.
