The Next Nintendo System Is Going to Need a lot of New IPs...

if they're trying to reach the "western core gamer". Whats considered a serious gamer now is not the same as when the n64 was around. Probably the most significant thing that defines a "western core gamer" now in my opinion is competitive multiplayer. Look at the PS3 and the xbox 360 this gen, they both have relatively "hardcore" exclusive IPs with strong competitive multiplayer. Killzone, Gears of War, Resistance, SOCOM, Halo, ect. They also have games that don't neccessarily have strong multiplayer, but tend to cater to a more hardcore crowd such as grand turismo, fable, motorstorm, god of war, ect. A lot of people buy the xbox because of gears, halo, and fable. A lot of people buy the ps3 because of kz, resistance, and god of war. There's really no nintendo IPs similar to these, and according to rumors, nintendo is trying to enter this kind of market.

Nintendo will continue to do what they've been doing with the DS, Wii and 3DS. They're going to build third party relations, which will or will not work out. If Nintendo had half the support they had with the DS/3DS on a Wii2, they'd have one amazing platform lined up for consumers.

maybe games like gran turismo or god of war but shooters are not "hardcore" anymoreJuarN18

Games aren't "hardcore" to begin with.

nintendo has so many IPs and all of them are all time classics..... sony and microsft wished they had that...thats why they keep inventing stuff...trust me.. if they had nintendos IPs they would be milking them too.

Well I don't see what's the difference from milking old franchises and making new ones and also milking them. That's what Sony did this gen - they introduced a lot of new IPs (Resistance, Uncharted, Motorstorm, LittleBigPlanet, ect.) but they're now "milking" them with sequels.

I think what Nintendo needs is, indeed, a new and unique IP, but they should also make new instalments of their older franchises or new games with their classic characters.

For completely fresh games they would need someone like Rare was.

I agree about new IP but if it's a new shooter NO. The FPS market is oversaturated. It's always the same thing.

I think Nintendo needs new IPS along with using the older ones. Bringing back Starfox in a starfox adventure game would be nice to see; but also bringing along something new and creative that only Nintendo can do.

but where is mario, metroid, zelda, dk etc... on xbox or ps? I will not buy a nintendo system that doest have mariio but has GTA. I am proud to say that im not a COD gamer, or someone who only plays they same video game genre over and over. . sony and micro have brought a lot of non traditional gamers into playing games as well over the last couple gens. But people dont see that though. they just see kids playing nintendo and adults playing xbox. a E rated game can be more involved and challenging with its cartoon graphics as anything M rated with blood and realistic graphics.da_chub

All Nintendo needs to do is make a good online mode for smash bros, and it'll sell like cod. But one exclusive Nintendo FPS (not Conduit, nintendo could make a much better shooter if they actually tried) would be a welcome addition to Nintendo's massive library of first party games. It would be interesting to see Nintendo's, or more specifically Miyamoto's take on an online shooter.

Games aren't "hardcore" to begin with.

If I wanted to play games like Halo or Gears, I would play Halo and Gears. Nintendo has zero experience with that type of game, and the market is already over saturated with them anyway. I agree that new IPs is a good idea, but we don't need any more FPS clones.meetroid8

Maybe with the exception of some but FPSs like Call of Duty are actually as casual as they come. I don't why franchises like Zelda aren't considered hardcore while other games franchises just becuse unlike Zelda they have swearing, sex and blood and gore.

Nintendo will make a lot of new IPs just like this gen they made more new IPs then any other company.

They had 40+ on the DS, 11 on the Wii, 11 for Wiiware, and 15 for DSiware.

If any IP genre Nintendo should go after, I would say the open-world sanbox type games. Infamous, Cracdown, RDR, etc. To me, those are the games that scream "next-gen" and offer so much creativity. You can only do so much on shooters and others. With the new power of the system, I would like to see what they could produce in that regards (or have another developer with Nintendo supervising).

Star Fox, F-Zero and Pikmin, could be hardcore for this new console they are making, that's why they maybe skipped the casual Wii era . Nintendo doesn't need any new IP's , they got so many that they didn't even even use during the Wii generation . Foxi911

Plus it was announce at last year's E3 that they are working on a new IP.

Nintendo does not need new franchises. Maybe a few new IP's sure, that wouldnt hurt. But alot? No Thank you. I, like many other people, are perfectly contempt with Mario, DK, Samus, Kid Icerus (if the new game for the 3D proves to be popular/ a success), Zelda, Star Fox (I believe the Star Fox 64 remake is an attempt at bringing much needed attention back towards star fox), F-Zero, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Pokemon, Conduit (sure the two current games might not be the best games in the world, but with the right direction, the game can truely out shine all the other FPS), etc etc. Really, Nintendo has alot of Ip's that havent been touched in awhile, and Im sure more than a few of them could possible do great if Nintendo took some time to breathe life back into them.

The next gen Nintendo Console does not need new Ninty IP's like I said above, but what they do need is this; the attention of all eastern and western 3rd party Devs. Really, Nintendo's IP's (both old and new) are great, but so are alot of 3rd party IP's that have never found themselves on Nintendo's home console. 3rd party Ip's is what the Wii 2 needs, though I am sure that it would do just fine without it, it is my belief that Nintendo will be dissipointed if 3rd party devs dont try out their Ips on Nintendo's platform.

No its not going to need new IPs. Third party support is what its going to need.

They definitely need new IPs. One of the best things about the N64 is that we hadn't seen Turok, Banjo, Rogue Squadron, perfect Dark, Conker etc. Gamecube reviving Metroid for a couple games was fun, but going back to it on the Wii was just sort of tiring to me. I'll never be tired of Zelda mostly because it's only released about once every five years, and literally every installment has beem an improvement, but Nintendo can't live off of Zelda alone for me.

Exclusives are a big deal but their just part of the puzzle.

IF they want to be successful, they need to lure devs in to score with multiplats. Lots of them.

Yep, as much as I dont want the Wii 2 becoming a HD triplet (lol, whenever sony and microsoft launch their next console) Nintendo needs some of those multiplats...

take a chance? wow that is not a good postign , nintnedo took the biggest chance this gen ,

they could have been bankrupt and you want them to do it all over again

and for the record they done what you asked,

by releasing nearly every main franchise on the nintnedo wii including ones that have not seen the light of day since the snes era

see this long list of nintendo franchises out

26. tales of symphonia 2 -in coopaeraition with some third party they released this one

and all they need to release on wii is

fzero

stunt race

10 80

and wave race

and kid icaris -could potentially be on the next console though sicne 3ds is relaunching it with uprising \

and a starfox ,

that would conclude all nintendo firstp arty made games ever released and they would have a sequal so good day!

Nintendo succeds at whatever it puts its mind to, but on that note I would rather they make the games that fit teh Nintendo experience

Nintendo will make a lot of new IPs just like this gen they made more new IPs then any other company.

sounds to me like your saying more IP's = more FPS

no thank you.
