Interesting. Would they have to be tried and true Nintendo IP for you? Or would you stick with Nintendo if they tried something new, like the first party devs actually not working on old IP to create new IP. Which would you prefer? Would ya give up on them if they stopped producing Nintendo IP for new stuff? |
Most Nintendo IP appeals to me, but not every Nintendo IP does, or appeals to me on the same level to make me buy a console. But the most important is the games itself.
I see that Nintendo is able to re-invent their existing IP into new gaming experiences most of the time. Sometimes it hits for me, sometimes it does not.
Example: I am a HUGE Zelda fan, but the touch control Zelda's on the DS did not appeal to me. So I did not buy these games and I also did not end up buying the system in the end. The more traditional controlled Zelda games on the 3DS though did appeal to me, so I bought that system.
In the end I would look at new IP in the same way. I would buy, if it's appealing to my taste. Let's say if I compare two newer-ish IP like Splatoon and Endless Ocean. I would buy a new Nintendo Console for Splatoon, but not for Endless Ocean.
If Nintendo for some reason would not make games in existing franchises anymore, or would simply limit the number to work on something else, I would still assess it on game-level to make my purchasing decision. But I do confess that Nintendo first party games are the number one reason to buy a Nintendo console or not.
