If all these projects start like Splatoon did, We wouldn't necessarily need to wait that much for entries in the already established IPs, say for example the Zelda team: I'm 100% shure that they've started working on the Thief game but honestly we're talking about a team that is so big that they can have a medium-small group of devs working on the Thief game while everyone else works on the next Zelda, given the team now has experience with HD development and an engine to use I would expect the next Zelda game to come out in 2/3 years similarly to how Majora's Mask came out one year after Ocarina of Time, instead, since not the whole team is working on the new Zelda, they might need the regular 5 years they always need to make the game...

I think you brought up some interesting points, but I still think nintendo is doing less than they should on this area. They got to keep the wii u for their own for the most part, and the third party lineup for switch isn't really looking any better thus far. I don't get why nintendo isn't interested in expanding their studios to be able to make more games. Where is 1080 and waverace for example? Splatoon, xenoblade and arms are greatly appreciated, but why not tap into a western rpg, maybe a more realistic type shooter. No one else is giving us them on nintendo consoles, I really doubt nintendo wouldn't be able to make these break even as well. More variety is sorely needed.

I also don't think they're pushing the xenoblade franchise nearly as much as they should. Monolith soft are gods, truly.

afaik Nintendo's staff is constantly growing, it's simply not that easy to find developers that meet Nintendo's standards and to instruct them properly on what to work on...

What is this thief game you're talking about? 

 

Yeah they're constantly hiring new people to the teams, and probably expanding gradualy in that sense. I was talking more of entirely new studios, preferably some in europe and america this time. Seing as they unlike sony and microsoft have to carry the console almost entirely on their shoulders I think they would benefit from having a broader range of games and genres avalible, and it looks like they need to do that themselves.
