| AngryLittleAlchemist said: I agree with you, they need a big new IP. And it's kind of horrifying. Splatoon 2 is really only big enough in Japan and some of the U.S. to be a console seller. We already have Nintendo covering so many genres that them trying to do something totally unique while making it a system seller globally would be very difficult. We've heard some people on this forum speculate that Nintendo is putting resources on new IP all the time since Splatoon. Personally i'd like to see less of Arms and more of a mature grounded experience. Maybe even two mature IP to get more gamers in from other consoles. |
Nintendo doesn't need to explore new genres, they need good content and mechanics since that's what actually sells games ...
COD, Uncharted, Star Wars Battlefront, Battlefield, Destiny, Tom Clancy's The Division, Far Cry, Overwatch and Doom are all shooters but they each have different appeal and concept so that's why the shooting genre isn't all that 'saturated' relatively speaking since they all have low overlap altogether ...
The same goes for sports, role playing and action games which are all high frequency occurrences ... (one wouldn't associate RPGs from Square Enix so heavily with Bethesda RPGs)
