I keep hearing the narrative that Nintendo does not make any new IP’ often, and it really baffles me, how individuals can honestly believe what is coming out of their mouths. Frankly, I’ve had enough! I will once and for all dispel the BS narrative that Nintendo doesn’t make any new IP’s.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
They've made a number of new IPs especially in this generation, but people seem to gloss over them and ignore their existence. Makes you wonder why Nintendo focuses so much on their bigger, money making franchises.
Good article Mii-Gamer!
I didn't see it mentioned but isn't Advance Wars for the GBA a new IP from Nintendo as well? Could be wrong but just wanted to throw that one out their if it was.
Yes, Nintendo makes new IPs. What do you think Mario Party, Mario Kart, Mario Paint, Mario Baseball, Mario Tennis and Mario Golf are?
The same people pushing this fanboy line are also ignoring the glut of annualized rehash games on their own favorite systems.
Yeah, I still see comments claiming Nintendo doesn't have any new IPs. It's like these people are living under a rock.
