I had to clarify since ur previous post said that adding the individual 3DS & Wii U libraries just doubles the amount of the same games which is absolutely false so those first few paragraphs were completely necessary.

 

so you're expecting a lot of new IPs then?

 

That's not what I said.

You said combining the 3DS & Wii U lineup just doubles the amount of the same games, that's not true, there are a bunch of franchises on 3DS that aren't of Wii U and vice versa. I also said due to not needing to release multiple entries in the same franchise during a single generation, it opens them up to diversifying, whether that be entirely new IP, return of old IP, or spinoffs of established IP.

Will Nintendo create a ton of new IP? Probably not. Will they create some new IP? Definitely, this generation saw Splatoon, Captain Toad, Codename STEAM, Dillon's Rolling Western, Steel Diver, Pushmo, Tomodachi (first outside of Japan), among others. Will they also resurrect old IP? Most likely, this generation saw the return of Pilotwings, Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, Star Fox, Kid Icarus.
