Nintendo has had a pretty big problem with new IPs ever since the N64.

Yeah, they certainly had trouble with new franchises like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, and Brain Age in the last generation...

And where are those franchises at now? Fun fact, did you know Brain Age got a sequel on 3DS? Nobody else did because it only sold 40k units, a big drop from the 20m on DS. None of those franchises need sequels, they were perfect for the Wii/DS era and that's it, Nintendo should have focused on making new things rather than trying to catch lightning in a bottle twice. 

The point is that Nintendo had several insanely popular new franchises last generation that vastly outsold all other new franchises on competing consoles combined.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
