I am surprised by the lack of Nintendo X Lego games.

Yes, but those are multi platform Lego games that could be played on other consoles to, but Lego Mario or Lego Zelda would definitely bring more people on board. Clear example of that is Minecraft Nintendo exlusive content, and Switch will definitely have much more exclusive deals like those, so its not relly hard to imagine that Nintendo make deal with Warner Bros/TT that they make Lego Zelda or Lego Mario while development would be just overseen by Nintendo.

So Mario wont draw more people in, but Lego Mario will?

They should work with developers to get games Nintendo themselves arent making. Not just combing two franchises that are already available on the system.

I agree with that to a point. Nintendo needs to convince 3rd parties to make games that they either can't do or refuse to do (they could totaly make a new F-Zero, but are they doing it?). That will have a bigger effect on software and hardware sales. But in the case of Lego, I think it would be different. It's not a matter of manpower and budget anymore, those games are rather cheap and several of them can be released each day, with decent quality. It's because they would be so easy to do (Nintendo would only really need to advise and watch over the project) and would have so many potential benefits, that I'm surprised they haven't done something like this already. There's enough profits to gain and barely any risk, unlike Bayonetta 2, Mario-Rabbids and possibly Bg&E2.
