So basically what I said. 

It's been done before and is already being done now. But you don't seem to accept those games into this curriculum.

However, Nintendo doesn't really need something as "realistic" as AssCreed. Twilight Princess is well and good.

Hardcore gamers, they can't compete with their competition for hardcore gamers.

why do u think they don't need it. is it because u dont need it? 

Well, I need it. I'll get a Wii U for something realistic and high quality, exclusive to the console.

if something like last of us was exclusive to wii u, i'll own one now.

You and how many other people? (Hyper-)Realistic games haven't ever flourished on Nintendo consoles. Nintendo doesn't need a game that is like Call of Duty or AssCreed. They have games that are more mature and realistic that already take place in genres that they have made a foray into before. Like Zelda, and Metroid.

Precisely, the market has taken a turn towards Western centric development and design and Nintendo are refusing, as always, to follow the movements of the market and instead insist on trying to dictate it and breach with "unique" design and features and they refuse to attempt anything grand outside of the usual suspects for their big budget efforts. Being timid, or at the very least cautious, when it comes to business can go both ways, they are now seeing which way it's going and it was time to respond a couple of years ago and they still haven't. Being timid when it comes to creative design is not good at any one time; Nintendo's vast talent and massive experience could produce amazing games the likes of which we've never seen (let's face it; even though their games currently are amazing, we have see it all before), on the same, or similar, premises as other developers (i.e; Nintendo could beat almost anyone in their own game, in a double meaning), it frustrates me that they are still clinging to Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong like a mariner to a flotsam.

They need to be more proactive, or at the very least; immediately reactive, and join main movements as they begin, not half a decade or more after it starts, just look at them delaying almost every title due to lack of knowledge on HD development and a lack of a now globally embraced standards in dev tools and methods and look at their inferior, fledgling social integration and online components compared to the competition. I think they'll keep on desperately looking for another Wii though; a phenomenon that allows an encased environment free from outside influence and that would serve well as a platform to maintain the stubborn development paradigm they've stuck with.

X has realistic graphics I suppose. Hopefully they'll make a new Metroid for the Wii U which will also have realistic graphics. There's a good chance the next Zelda will have realistic graphics, we don't know for sure.

And Miyamoto is working on a new IP. Hopefully it isn't another Wii Music like title, but something unique like Pikmin was. Pikmin 3 has realistic graphics. It's a good looking game with the exception of some ground textures which look like a leftover from when it was supposed to be a Wii game. 

Not really sure what you're complaining about. 

Lack of 3rd party and the over saturation of Mario games

Next time read the thread.

And how come Mario games are by far the best selling games on its console? If there really was an over saturation we'd see it in the sales. 

Metroid already exists, and it doesn't sell nearly as well as "cartoony" Nintendo franchises.
