Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo has made 71 Brand new Franchises Since 2001

manuel on 25 July 2014

I'm only nitpicking, but Animal Crossing started on the N64, not on the Gamecube.

Make a list for U.S. ;.

I bolded a few more games that have seen very strong success and may see sequels or spiritual sequels. I count 28 games here, far more than 6.


Did you really bold Knack?

Yes, since Knack has been an astounding success in sales, especially in Japan.

And how many of them have had any sort of sequel in the last few years? A lot of them had a mediocre sequel that ended the franchise. A lot of those franchises haven't seen a new game in 6+ years.


Its obvious that you dont know much about these franchises and are just grasping at straws at this point. So lets just end it here.

Oh really?

Batallion Wars hasn't seen a sequel since '07

Chibi-Robo hasn't seen one since '09 (two sequels, one only in Japan)

Art Style hasn't seen one since '09

Xenoblade Chronicles is NOT a Nintendo-created franchise

Endless Ocean hasn't seen one since '09

Golden Sun saw one in '10 after almost 8 years since the last

Kururin hasn't seen one since '05 

Starfy hasn't seen one since '08

Rythem Tengoku hasn't seen one since 2011 

Nintendogs hasn't since 2011

Big Brain Academy hasn't since 2007

Brain Age I'll give you

Elite Beat Agents hasn't seen one since 2007

Trace Memory hasn't seen one since '09

Fossil Fighters Frontier I'll give you

Steel Diver is a horrible game with an even worse F2P sequel, and was developed in conjunction with an outside team.

Pushmo I'll give you

Dillon's Rolling Western is terribad, along with its barebone sequel

 

So, the majority of the games you listed had the last game in the series come out 5 or more years ago (usually more). The few that survive to now are usually very small titles, many download-only, and most have terrible metacritic scores.

But yeah, let's end this.

 

 

 

 

Chibi Robo just got a new sequel this year lol.

Yeah, because it was bundled with every PS4 over there.

That's not unusual for Nintendo.  For instance, Brawl came out over 6 years ago.  Does that really matter? 

The difference is, SSB is a huge IP for Nintendo that generates them revenue and is over a decade old. The franchises they developed after 2001 are usually lucky if they see a sequel in the first two or three years. Anymore and the odds become slim to none.

It doesn't matter what the quantity is. What people really mean is a new console IP with plenty of effort. We got that with Splatoon.

Yes, which allowed the IP to gain tons of popularity there. A sequel is just about guaranteed now.

That list shouldn't be taken seriously.
