I have noticed a pattern.

in the Nintendo published ips on nintendo handhelds and consoles, they most of the time deliver sparks of innovation and praise.

My personal examples, killer 7, pandoras tower, xenoblade, upcoming runea etc etc.

does nintendo have a good eye for new ips, and why do they tend to deliver time after time when published on a nintendo console?

why are third parties these days reluctant to take the plunge, when ips tend to meet critical success and new following on nintendo consoles?

any ips published on a nintendo console You recommend? Personally I love anything new and fresh when it comes to gaming.

I recommend bayonetta 2. Really great game that deserves more sales and it is a blast to play. Amd yea, most of their published ips I enjoy so they certainly do pick them well

Agreed! I remember playing a game called Geist on the Gamecube a while back. It was pretty good.

Though, Devil's Third will be the ultimate test ;)

I have that game :1) however, bayonetta was first published on xbox and ps3. So i do consider bayonetta a ps/xb franchise (for now) sequel much better though. Looking forward immensey to devils third. No more heroes was also a big nintendo published ip i loved. But killer is dead failed, and that was published on ps/xbox ;-p

Because food stores don't accept Metacritic coupons anymore. They now only take money. Preferably from sold games.

Bayonetta 2 is my recommendation.
