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

The number is pretty impressive... Too bad the same thing cannot be said for some of those games! I mean, Bonsai Barber? Fossil Fighters? Steel Diver? Those aren't spectacular games or anything!


I think you already know this or rather realized this, but the point is they do indeed create new IPs or are open to new IPs. I also get tired of all the whining that they are only Mario and Zelda, or even Pokemon, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Kirby...wait a second if I stopped there it would be impressive. Some of the most iconic franchises. People need to find something new to gripe about. They do try new things. Publishing Bayonetta 2 is...um...quite a departure. While not a new franchise, nor their franchise, they are open to the risqué. It's a shame their tent pole IPs  destroy most other IPs in terms of quality and imagination that they usually tower over the competition - in what they do that is. Their top tier titles are so great that it almost seems like that's all they do.

Just like people are pointing out with the Nintendo list, how many of these are "worth it"? 

You completely miss the point. Who cares how many MS or Sony has created. The point is Nintendo isn't all Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon. They do do other IPs. That's all. So many people whine that Nintendo only does those few IPs. It's clear they don't. 



How do you know Nintendo owns these IPs? Just curious because I'm wondering if this is just a list of games Nintendo published instead.

You're saying NIntendo isn't all about rehashed games? Then why does Sony already have more new IPs for the PS4 than Nintendo does for the Wii U?

Yeah ok, you count the indies, then fair enough. Shadow Of The Beat is an old IP btw.

And ok fair enough of Shadow of the Beast, still outnumbering Wii U by a shit ton.

Also why don't we have this conversation again in E3 2015, you know, so it would be fair since the Wii U has been out a year longer than the PS4. So when E3 2015 comes why don't we check the number of IPs owned by Sony by E3 2015 and Wii U E3 2014. Damn, going to get crushed.

Probably by E3 2015

Media Molecule New IP

Guerilla Games' New IP

Probably Sony Bend's New IP

6(7 maybe) vs 2 New IPs in the same amount wow.

Lmao, now you are just putting all of the published by Nintendo

Devil's Third is still owned by Valhalla and Lego City by Warner Bros. Nintendo Land is just another Wii Play etc, same division that made the rest of the party games.
