I really wish Nintendo would make new BIG IPs.

I know they do have new IPs for Wii but It seems like im the only one tired of the Mario and I never really liked Zelda much. Mario games are fun but every new litle game they announce of it everyone gets all hyped. Nintendo can make good games and I think its time for them to introduce some new good games as big as Mario or Zelda, not exactly to replace them though. Or start making Metroid games again or something. I think the last one was The Other M right?

Well yeah but again I know they do have alot of new IPs for the wii but none of them seem to be as good compared to Mario and Zelda and those. Anyone else agree?

Or they could make new games from existing IP's they haven't been using so often as..let's say Mario.

I think the first thing Ninty has to do is expand their dev team.

At the moment, they have too many unused IPs so they can't even bother creating new ones.

Yea I agree but they might have a bunch for the Wii U launch hopefully they are good and not junk.

I understand why people say this sort of thing. But the fact is, Nintendo IPs are so diverse, versatile, and above and beyond the large majority of other franchises in terms of quality, that they simply don't need new IPs.meetroid8

Yes, they do. Desperately. I don't know about anybody else, but I've been playing Mario and Zelda for forever. I don't care how great they are, that's beside the point.

So you're saying you would take something brand new but risk the quality aspect over the sake of having it new?

I don't get it. You find the Mario and Zelda games great but want something new.. simply because you are tired of Mario and Zelda?

I see your point, but that also to me says "I'm tired of playing consistently great games."

Why should they?

Nintendo have it sweet, they have millions of fans who are perfectly happy with the same franchises repackaged for decades over and over.

Its the perfect situations, minimum risk, maximum reward

And it's not that I'm tired of playing these great games, I'm tired of playing the same games. I want to see more games like Pikmin. I mean, Nintendo's really focused mostly all of their attention on their two main franchises. TWO. With their talent it's a shame. I want to see a 2D Metroid on consoles. A new F-Zero and Waverace. Pilotwings, Kid Icarus (and not on a handheld either).

So it's not necessarily about all new IPs, I just would like to see Nintendo take their focus off of Mario and Zelda and put some of that tlc into other IPs that have been short shafted and relegated to handhelds.

I wont say no to a big new Nintendo IP, but as long as they can continue do so well at reinventing their old IPs I'm not really stressing it.

I have to wholeheartedly agree then.

People often do complain of the rehash aspect of Nintendo's lineup, despite the fact that they are high quality. However, due to the large amount of IP's they simply don't tap into, they don't really need any "new" titles. All they really need to do is reach into their bag of dead (forgotten), or rather unused, IP's. Some titles which you listed are long overdue for another entry, as well as the plethora of other IP's at their disposal. Metroid I fear is in danger due to a poorly selling recent entry, being Other M, or so I've heard.

I think that Nintendo having a handheld also sort of diminishes the chances of certain IP's making a big console release. Fire Emblem, for instance, could benefit from a brand new console release I feel, alongside Pikmin, but that is in the works (or so I've heard). Personally I've never been into Pikmin in the past but I feel the Wii-U a perfect platform for a title such as Pikmin.

Miyamoto has announced he's working on something new and something big. It will be announced this E3.charizard1605

I love how everyone completely ignored this post lol. But yeah I remember a LONG time ago he said he was really into swimming lately hinting something but it was never expanded on and recently he said he was working on a new project.

wtf u dont like zelda?? have u played skyward sword it is the best game of this gen

SM3DL could've passed as a new IP, if it didn't use Mario.

Same with Galaxy

Other M

Epic yarn

Punch Out

Kid Icarus Uprising

+ Many more

I seriously don't see the problem. We're getting new IP's like Xenoblade, Disaster Day of Crisis (EU/AUS and JP), Pushmo, Mii/Wii and we're getting old IP's Like Metroid, Luigis Mansion, Mario Kart, Punch Out, Kid Icarus, Kirby, Pokemon, Mario (3D), Mario Party, Mario (2D), Donkey Kong, SSB, Fire Emblem, Wario Ware, Wario Land etc. But everyone's always complainig about Nintendo only focusing Zelda and Mario?

The last time we got a console Zelda title was 5 years ago, and everyone's going nuts calling it a rehash?

We get one Mario Kart per system, and people call it a rehash? Why don't people call Fire Emblem a rehash?

We had 2 Metroid games exclusive for the Wii this gen, and one Zelda exclusive for the Wii, and everyone's crying about to much Zelda and not enough Metroid?

We had 1 2D Mario title for the Wii, which WASN'T a port from the DS version. (contrary to popular belief)

For the First time ever, we got 2 3D mario titles for a home system. (Only 2)

Nintendo release 2 ports of 15 year old titles for the new audiences, which many haven't even played yet, and people call the 3DS port city? ("HD" remakes anyone?)

I could go on with facts, but I digress.

People Who complain about Nintendo only focusing on Mario and Zelda need to get their heads out of their asses.

Kid Icarus: Uprising is as close as you can get to a new IP. It has nothing to do with the previous two titles that released over 20 years ago, literally the only similarity is the main characters (Pit, Palutena, Medusa) and some of the enemies returned aswell. But it plays 100% differently.

It's a big 3DS title with a proper budget, team and development time.

There you go

Me too and mature IPs.

Xenoblade Chronicles says hi. And in any case, you can still make completely different experiences within the same IP. Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, and Kirby Mass Attack, for instance, all play very differently from each other despite them starring roughly the same bunch of characters.1PMrFister

I was going to mention Xenoblade Chronicles.

I disagree. That USED to be the case. Now they are only "above and beyond the large majority of other franchises" on their own systems. And even that is only because the majority of games that now come out for Nintendo consoles is garbage aimed at small children who don't know any better.

THey don't need new IPs? I think the fact that their biggest IPs have been decreasing in sales over the generations (although still massive sellers), says they may want to start thinking about their future. Big and bold new IPs are essential. Maybe some aimed at adults or the "M" crowd? Maybe, at the very least, make a new Zelda game that changes up the standard formula, has an actual story and character development, voices, etc?

Sure, the Wii sold extremely well and pretty much brought Nintendo back from the dead. But they are now the console with, by far, the worst graphics, least power, least features, least games, least genres, and even their gameplay ideas arestuck in the SNES/N64 era.

No, they need to bring their forgotten ones back first. They have plenty. Also, they don't need to make new ones. They can simply continue making the games they make best. What they would need is a talented 2nd party exclusive dev making fresh IPs like Rare was back in the day.

I know they do have new IPs for Wii but It seems like im the only one tired of the Mario and I never really liked Zelda much. Mario games are fun but every new litle game they announce of it everyone gets all hyped.

I think Miyamoto said that they're working on one right now.

Many years too late Mr Miyamoto.
Many child gamers have grown and moved onto other franchises.

No company will give up something that makes easy money than risk trying something NEW and make some losses.

At least Microsoft and Sony have the guts to make new games and sequels of decent games.
That applies to other developers too.

They are already making one.

There's no short supply of children, and plenty of adults still like their IPs like Metroid and Zelda.

Sony and Microsoft don't make their own games actually.

That would be cool I guess, but I think people just have some unrealistic expectations from Nintendo.

How many other devs have that many successful IPs under their belt? How many other devs out there keep their IPs as fresh as Nintendo does?

I would like to see more great IPs from Nintendo just as much as anyone else, but they are already doing much better than most devs out there.

And really they still have IPs to burn. There are a few names that Nintendo only recently started dusting off (like DKCR and Punch Out) and there are a good few more that haven't been touched in years.

This is very true. But still I would like to see them add something new.
