This is what I said in 2014 to comments like this:
Since 2000, they have launched dozens of new games with varying degrees of success. A small selection of the titles: Pikmin, Advance Wars, Baiten Kaitos, Xenoblade Chronicals, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Music, Pandora’s Tower, Animal Crossing, The last story, Exite Truck, Endless Ocean, Steel Diver, Nintendo Football Club, Disaster Day of Crisis, Battalian Wars, Geist, Odama, Pushmo, Hotel Dusk, Another Code, Wario Ware, Eternal Darkness and so on.
So I think it’s very shortsighted to say that Nintendo doesn’t launch new game series very often. In addition, for example, 9 call of duty’s have now been issued for the xbox 360 and ten in total for the consoles in 10 years. Nintendo has now released no less than 8 zelda titles in 25 years for all 6 (nes, snes, n64, cube, wii, wiiu) its consoles. In the meantime, they do put gran turismo 6 in their ps, because every publisher continues to build on successful games, see also Halo (7 games so far), Uncharted (3 games in a generation) and, for example, world of warcraft (5 expansions).
The story that Nintendo should stop milking Mario for its various games, which I often read in the comments, I don’t understand too well, or do these people also react to Disney the same when they see Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse? Nintendo has created its own world with well-known game characters. Different games take place in this world. So racing games, 3d platformers, 2d platformers, beatemups, shooters, adventure games and rpgs. If you don’t like it fine, but others will enjoy it.
