Just as a bit of a precursor to what I'll be saying after this let me just say that like a great many other people I grew up playing nintendo consoles and loving nintendo games.
I have great memories of playing their various first party titles on all of their systems.
I regrettably have to make some harsh comments on the company though.
As everyone is aware they have fallen into a cycle of releasing the same five games over and over again. With a sprinkling of a few slightly less popular games that they also recycle, though slightly less frequently.
Here I'll make a list, the main five are.
Mario
Donkey kong
Zelda
Metroid
Pokemon
There is kind of a problem with this. Though I suppose that since people keep buying the crap not really.
Any way I digress. I am under the impression that they never intend to create a new IP. I don't know the reason, maybe the company has degenerated into large groups of frightened old people.
We know they have the ability to take risks, they do it every generation with their hardware and it does extremely well.
It's just disappointing to me that they have lost that magic they used to have for coming up with new games.
Recently thing's have gotten even worse. Their not even really making sequels to their popular games anymore. Their just making complete remakes. Almost identical games that have graphic updates.
It's just sad.
Also to compare sony has brought at least seven brand new successful exclusive IP's to the table since the ps3 has been out.
That's not even counting flops like lair, and heavenly sword.
The Honkai Star Rail 2.2 banners introduce Robin and Boothill, alongside returning faces Topaz and Fu Xuan to HoYo's space fantasy RPG on PS5.

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
I agree that they have milked the crap out of Pokemon and Spin-off titles, but for their flagship franchises they have definitely been innovating. I thin it is unfair to say that they are milking them when they are pumping out genuinely excellent titles. So what if they star the same characters?
Why create a new IP when the ideas can be easily applied to an existing one. It is just financial safety.
