Then Nintendo needs to come out and say that. They have to say we are no longer going to make 3rd parties a priorty. And will take full responablity for 5 years ourselves. That means they have to ramp up poroduction, and release games to ALL franchise. To fill in all time periods.


Over half of the games I listed were 3rd party so they would still be a priority, it just wouldn't be the same 3rd party games that drive PS/XB sales. I also don't think Nintendo can make it any more perfectly clear that they are not interested in fighting for those games, "were not interested in high end specs" pretty much declares "we don't care about AAA multiplats".

But they also don't seem to care to release their own games at a proper pace. To compensate for this decision.


Yes they do, the problem currently is that the output is divided up between 2 separate platforms. What I and the poster I replied to are talking about is a fully unified ecosystem where the handheld and console share a software library. Here are the Nintendo-published titles in North America for 2013-2015.

2013-Fire Emblem: Awakening, Brain Age: Concentration Training, Tokyo Crash Mobs, Lego City Undercover, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Harmoknight, Lego City Undercover: Chase Begins, Kersploosh, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, Mario & Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger, Game & Wario, New Super Luigi U, Pikmin 3, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Wonderful 101, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Wii Party U, Pokémon X/Y, Super Mario 3D World, Wii Fit U, Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds, Mario Party: Island Tour, NES Remix, Dr. Luigi

2014-Bravely Default, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Yoshi's New Island, Chibi-Robo: Photo Finder, Steel Diver: Sub Wars, Pokemon Battle Trozei, Mario Golf: World Tour, Kirby Triple Deluxe, Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, NES Remix 2, Mario Kart 8, Tomodachi Life, Wii Sports Club, Pushmo World, Professor Layton vs. Pheonix Wright, Hyrule Warriors, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, Pokemon Art Academy, Fantasy Life, Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Pokémon OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

2015-Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D, Pokémon Shuffle, Kirby Rainbow Curse, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, Codename S.T.E.A.M., Fossil Fighters: Frontier, Mario Party 10, Boxboy, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, Pokémon Rumble World, Stretchmo, Puzzles & Dragons Z+Super Mario Edition, Splatoon, Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure, Art Academy: Home Studio, Little Battlers Experience, Devil's Third, Super Mario Maker, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Yoshi's Woolly World, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Yokai Watch, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Star Fox Zero


The problem I see with those release lists is a lot of those games are not going to play so well on the console side. People were complaining a lot about Wii U releases, but things like Kirby's Rainbow Curse which feels like a portable game transplanted to console didn't do a whole lot to dissuade that.
