Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) In anticipation of a rebuttal, here's the new IPs since 2006. These are financed by Nintendo, and often co-developed Endless Ocean Captain Rainbow Disaster: Day of Crisis FlingSmash Zangeki no Reginleiv Xenoblade Chronicles The Last Story Kiki Trick Pandora's Tower Maboshi's Arcade Eco Shooter: Plant 530 Fluidity Line Attack Heroes Sing Party The Wonderful 101 Art Academy Hotel Dusk Master of Illusion Fossil Fighters Style Savvy Nintendo presents: Style Boutique Tomodachi Collection Steel Diver Freakyforms Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword Dillon's Rolling Western Pullblox Ketzal's Corridors HarmoKnight Kersploosh Tokyo Crash Mobs Rusty's Real Deal Baseball Nintendo Pocket Football Club Among countless other spin-off series of existing IPs. I think I must have missed a dozen or so, too. Yes, some may be download only, but why does that matter? Plus, like I said, some were successful while others not so much.

Posted March 17, 2014 Isn't xenopblade a new IP? Mario and Sonic olympics?! Can someone do the same with sony? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 17, 2014 Isn't xenopblade a new IP? Mario and Sonic olympics?! Can someone do the same with sony? Xenoblade is technically a continuation of the Xenogears and if I put Mario & Sonic in it, I'd have complaints that it's Mario so doesn't count. I didn't list any spin-off series. I'll get to work on Sony and Microsoft first party IPs, but it's a tricky situation as you never know what new IPs are done by them. Gears, for example, was just an exclusive until recently.

Posted March 17, 2014 Oh please guys, not some crappy Nintendo vs Sony New IP thing, this isn't the place for it... plus it's boring... Plus I'm pretty sure @Cube or someone already made a thread in General Gaming that lists exclusive IP last generation. Also wasn't Endless Ocean on PS2 under a different guise?

Posted March 17, 2014 A lot of those I have never heard of. How many of them are for the Wii U? Since this is the Wii U General Discussion and I'm still searching for a reason to get one (at the current price point) this information might help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everblue was a similar game, but Endless Ocean is a new IP. A lot of those I have never heard of. How many of them are for the Wii U? Since this is the Wii U General Discussion and I'm still searching for a reason to get one (at the current price point) this information might help. Not too many at the moment. The Wonderful 101 is the only one of note. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 17, 2014 Same difference. Not really. It's a Spiritual Successor. A different IP but a similar game. It's like Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 17, 2014 surely wii fit, brain academy and Nintendogs should be mentioned here. Just because this a gamer forum and therefore predominantly blokes between 18-30 you can't ignore what these franchises have done in bringing non-gamers to gaming.

Posted March 17, 2014 Xenoblade is not a continuation of Xenogears. The only things they share is the word Xeno and that Takahashi directed both. Square owns the IP to Xenogears. Both those games are nothing alike and don't even take place in the same universe. Being funded and published by Nintendo makes it a Nintendo IP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brain Academy and Nintendogs were 2005. Wii Fit is "Wii Series" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I can't fault the effort you've put into sourcing that, it makes me very sad that if you were to do a similar thing over the Cube or N64 periods, the list would be perhaps a million times more appetising.

Posted March 17, 2014 So are you going to categorise them by console? 2006 to now crosses generations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 17, 2014 Oh please guys, not some crappy Nintendo vs Sony New IP thing, this isn't the place for it... plus it's boring... This. This topic is constantly being turned into a warzone. Why can't you just agree that there are good games spread out across ALL the consoles. Some people prefer gameplay over narritive, others like to be drawn in by a good story and are quite happy to let the gameplay take second fiddle. Let's stop with the list wars. It was never fun and never will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 17, 2014 Oh god, what have I done. I just wanted to figure out whether I could justify getting a Wii U... Yes. If you like Nintendo then get a Wii U. There are enough games out there that justifies the console. If you can get it on the cheap then the better. If you are not happy with Nintendo games then don't get it.

That is an amazing list, thanks @Serebii. Also, all the dickheads who said there weren't any hardcore games on the Wii need to pull their heads out of their arses - Xenoblade Chronicles is one of the best (and biggest) games ever made. It's on the scale of Fallout 3 but with an incredible alien world, huge narrative and an entire ecosystem that you just want to observe and explore. What an immense game. It's a very popular and boring thing to criticise Nintendo for not making new franchises, but the truth is the opposite. What's more, if you're going to criticise them for not making new franchises then you don't go out and buy games like The Last Story, Xenoblade and Pandora's Tower then frankly you're part of the problem.

Posted March 17, 2014 @Serebii your list is missing Rare games. Where is Banjo Kazooie? Also I would say for the N64, while some characters/settings are reused, they are so far removed from previous titles that they could almost stand alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
