It's quite common, just because you never heard of it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  >.>

Anyone who played Xenosaga and Xenogears would know the games are all spiritual successor, as they cant make a sequel without permission from Square and Namco.  I can confrim from the credits and Iwata ask that copperate nintendo had little to do with the game.  

No your guidelines are ridiculous, Luigi's Mansion doesn't count because "3ds and GC are similar in strenth, so no it doesn't count."

Not just that, its a sequel and not even a high quality one.  If it was on Wii U, maybe, but on 3DS hell no

I don't get it... Apart from the title of the thread, Brb is not being used anywhere... Also by the looks of it, he is using Brb in the "Be Right Back" sense and not in the "transitory phrase" sense

I am not saying it doesn't exist nor have I ever said that it doesn't exist... I am just saying that your claims of it being used "Often on the internet" as a "transitory phrase" is false

"Spiritual successor" doesn't equal ownership though. Evil Within is a spiritual successor to RE4, doesn't mean it belongs to Capcom. 

Given that Nintendo changed the title just months before release, I doubt very much they would willingly alter it to one they did not own the rights to. Can you substantiate Namco and Square having any power over the Xenoblade trademark? I do not recall any reference to Namco or Square in Xenoblade's credits, nor in materials pertaining to Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Once Nintendo bought Monolith, they came a subsidiary, so any work they did beyond that point (the bulk of the game) was done as Nintendo developers.

Mid 80's to early 90's was Nintendo's peak. I preferred (and still do) the Genesis (as did most Americans at the time of the 16-bit war) but I had both and the games that I enjoy the most of theirs are from the NES and SNES era. That was when they were their most creative and innovative.

Sure, the N64 had a few legendary games like OOT, but not nearly as many as the NES.

It isn't though. Nintendo didn't develop it. They published it yes, but did not develop it. Saying Xenoblade is made by Nintendo is like saying 007 was made by Nintendo. There is a difference in publishing and developing. 

Nope Sega and Sony for me :D

I never mentioned Smash in my post? Melee promoted Roy, yes, but that was mainly for Japan since he is from FE6, that was never released in the west. Therefore, the hype and advertisement it generated in the west, only at best, allowed fans to gain some awareness of this series, but that is besides the point. I'm saying that Nintendo will create sequels for franchises such as Fire Emblem. If they are good games, people will buy it, like what happened with FE13. And if they make a profit, Nintendo will continue to do so.

Of course Fire Emblem will never be popular as Final Fantasy, and I never implied that in any way. If anything, Final Fantasy is more comparable to games like Zelda or Mario. However, with enough sales, Nintendo can still make profits from franchise such as FE because, as you said, they aren't super expensive to produce.

I also don't understand what your trying to get at. You dislike the fact that Nintendo is rehashing games and that they don't make enough new IP, but you are proposing to reboot old franchises and to create sequels for games such as Earthbound and Metroid. Isn't that the same thing as why you dislike Nintendo in the first place?
