I never said it did although they're still extensions of the series.  was thinking more,  Mario Party this year,  Mario kart last year, Mario 3D the year before. 

3 radically different games.

I wish I could give you a non-Nintendo example, but non-Nintendo studios really suck at creating spin-offs it seems.

Is Mario Kart also a Zelda game? Link is in it.

No mario is not zelda just like god of war isn't lbp.  And I can think of other studios that can make good spin offs and I'm sure you could too.
