Nintendo didn't originally publish the first Bayonetta. I don't get what you mean: is a non-sexual, rated M game that's a new IP the only way that you can consider the game to be "non-nostalgic"? Devil's Third is a new IP, and is rated M is that also somehow nostalgia based?

You should go back and read. I'll say it again rating has nothing to do with it. All games have some nostalgia, that can't be helped, especially if you've played games all your life. So you can't have a game that is completely "non-nostalgic". BTW no idea why you quoted that, I never said "non-nostalgic" You can have a game that is not nostalgia-centric. I.E. sacrificing story telling, character development, and relate-ability in the name of nostalgia much like what splatoon does, what Devil's third does which is basically what farcry 4 dlc blood dragon did. It's fine to have some games that do this but when every single one does it then it gets old fast. Which is what Nintendo has been doing with just about every game with Zombie U being an exception. 

Story telling and character development are not crucial elements of video games. Most of the most popular games do not excel in this area, even outside of Nintendo. COD doesn't, Minecraft doesn't, League of Legends doesn't, Sony's biggest IP Gran Turismo doesn't.
