Some remarks

Fire Emblem is OLD ,tracking back to the Nes days .

Two ,Nintendogs is a copy of Pet in Tv of the Playstation 1 .

Three ,Wario Ware is a copy of Bishi Bashi in Playstation 1 .

Four ,Advance Wars and Batallion wars are nearly the same game in portables and home consoles .


Five ,Big Brain Academy and Brain Training are as different as Jak and Daxter 1 and 3 respectively .Not two different IP at least in my book .

Six ,Cooking Mama isnt from Nintendo but from Majesco .

Seven ,Eternal Darkness is from Silicon Knights .


I am not saying Nintendo hasnt created any new IP (it has ,as Pikmin or the new Metroid ) but lets not exxagerate we cant count each Brain Training game as a different IP .In fact most of these minigames and Training games were played way before ,in the newspapers quizs ,electronic sudokus etc ....Nintendo has just turned that a videogame and received the benefits of all those casual gamers .

I clearly stated new IPs, not new genres. Let's look at all the genres Microsoft created:

1) ...

and how about those Sony created?

1) ...

So don't be ridiculous. The only claim we are testing here is whether Nintendo only ever relies on their old proven franchises (Mario, Zelda, Pokemon) and never releases games using new IPs. We're not talking about the styles of games since mario is in many different types (compare mario kart with super mario) but the franchises that are being created. And I believe no other company even comes close to Nintendo. 


To begin with Sony created 3 new genres recently ,Singstar ,Buzz and Eye Toy .And Little Big Planet ,Eye of Judgement  and Afrika will be new genres as well .And lets not talk about new Ip or franchises .....Shadow of the Colossus ,Ico ,God of War ,Resistence ,Motorstorm ,Jak and Daxter ,Ratchet and Clank ,Sly Racoon ,Heavenly Sword ,Lair ,Socom ,Primal ,Gran Turismo etc etc .Nintendo I dont see it to create new genres(maybe Donkey Konga ?)  ,they just recicle things again and again .New IP of course we can find some as Pikmin or the new Metroid or Batallion Wars but they are hardly "new genres " .Nintendo copies just as much as other companies (even more I would say ) but nintendo fans just dont seem to notice it .I mean ,there was a montion sensing consoles as the XaviX before the Wii but for nintendo fans the Wii is the most innovative device ever ,there was games as Bishi Bashi or Pet in Tv in the PS1 that Nintendo ripped off to come with its minigames and nintendogs but nintendo fans just dont know those games so for them that doesnt count ,Nintendo just adapted the Brain trainer device  of Kawashima and Sega to the DS but for Nintendo fans thats the pinnacle of innovating and creating new genres and Ips ......
