But even when Nintendo makes new IP's they aren't making clones of these types of games that you are naming! Splatoon is new but isn't anything like Gears or Uncharted... Yes they are lacking those types of games, but the 3rd party companies are already making similar games, it's the reason why Sony's 1st party titles aren't selling as good as Nintendo's do on their own hardware. The saturation of similar games on both PS4 and XbOne are very high and everything is either a 3rd person action game or some form of a shooter. The games you desire for Nintendo to make, gamers are already invested in 3rd party variants, so Nintendo would be wasting money making a Nintendo version of Assassin's Creed or Uncharted. |
Nintendo's first party catalogue as it stands today is sorely lacking in tonal variety. When your software output is pretty much entirely E-rated cartoon games, you are limiting the appeal of your product. People like to have options and diversity. Such products being available on other platforms does preclude the need for them on Nintendo's, just like the availability of Pokemon and Monster Hunter on 3DS doesn't preclude the fact that Vita could have really used such a system seller of its own.
Retro Studios was acquired by Nintendo for specifically this purpose, to diversify Nintendo's appeal by making a different kind of game to EAD proper.
