I don't understand why some people think Xenoblade is a new IP. The Xeno series has been around for a long time, you'd think nobody has ever played Xenogears or Xenosaga. Just changing setting and/or combat system isn't enough to call it a new IP. Under that logic half the mainline and nearly all the side Final Fantasy games would be "new IP".

Xenoblade is a new IP because it is unrelated to Xenogears, and Xenosaga, also each of those games has different names, and the IPs have different owners.

EDIT: So If Capcom creates "Xenodragon" it will be the same IP? lol XD

You can bet that rollstoppable knows that.

Its a ironic post, because many people claim that Nintendo only makes "mario games" despite the fact that Nintendo produced many new IPs and or regenerated old IPs in the last six years Wii.

Nintendo should invest in a developer like Monolith Soft. I think they could make some great Nintendo games.

But no, instead they just pump out Mario game after Mario game. They never give us experiences like Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story or Fire Emblem.

Monolith Soft is owned by Nintendo, so it's 1st party.

No, because Monolith has made the Xeno series (Xenogears under Squaresoft), despite being bought and owned by Nintendo. It's like how Activision and Blizzard are merged but Activision has little real influence on Blizzard. Or how Square and Enix merged but the Final Fantasy IP remained. Just because studio ownership changes doesn't mean the IP changes. Again, each Final Fantasy game is unrelated to each other (except the occasional direct sequel) yet they are considered one IP.

I'm not trying to put down Xenoblade or anything, it's a great game, but it's simply not accurate to call it a brand new IP, or one that Nintendo's developers crafted. It's likely Nintendo itself played very little role in the actual development of the game.

I think Nintendo should just start buying up some of these developers (Platinum, Mistwalker etc.), because with their games quality and with the guidance, support and knowlegde of Nintendo, they could make something really special.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Change setting and combat system is absolutely enough to call it a new IP. You are confusing IP with Genre.

Intelligent Systems made Fire Emblem and Advance Wars. Each of those has different setting and similar but distinct combat system. They are the same Genre, but not the same IP.

Xenogears = Squaresoft/Square-Enix IP

Xenosaga = Namco IP

Xenoblade = Nintendo IP

If it was the same how could it be owned by different companies at the same time and each having full authority on what can be done with that IP?

Final Fantasy is unrelated to each other, but each game has the same "core" name, and the OWNER OF ALL THE FF GAMES IS THE SAME COMPANY.
