I think this has been mentioned before, but Nintendo has been releasing at least 1 new ip a year. Arms(2017), Sushi Strikers(2018), Astral Chain (2019), Ring Fit (2019), Good Job(2020), Buddy Mission: Bond (2021) and others I might have missed. So yeah while they may not be for everyone, they are at least trying new ideas and games in comparison to others.
I specifically said "excluding casual software" as Nintendo's most casual games are one off. And Sushi Strikers was first announced on 3DS. That leaves us with 2 games Arms and Astral Chain (and Buddy Mission if Nintendo ever decides to localize it).
An art ST might be kinda neat
But going from your "we need more", well all their teams are busy and unless they expand, which they are doing, you wont see a "big" new ip. The biggest candidate at the moment is Grezzo and Monoliths second team (and maybe Good Feel).
Having 2 big, new, non-casual IPs seems actually pretty good for a Nintendo console generation? Not being facetious, I'm genuinely trying to recall.
Yeah! They make great stuff! I always loved his Metroid artwork. I like how the art is kinda zommed out and tels a story itslef. If Orioto could post stuff here I'd love it. Especially since I don't havbe any social media anymore so no way to follow them.
Wii U had Splatoon! That was new IP then Otherwise I agree that 2 new IP is pretty good. I count the casual stuff too (loved ringfit) but then I also want more new IP too
I actually was comparing it to the past handhelds. 3DS had quite a few of them: Steel Diver, Ever Oasis, Tank Troopers, Codename Steam, Pushmo, Dillon series...
Arms isn't really "non-casual" though, it just failed to capture the casual audience.
Arms did have an alternative button control scheme (unlike the pure casual Switch Sports), Nintendo held tournaments for the game and even there was a comic book adaptation planned by Dark Horse. Nintendo clearly anticipated a core fanbase for the game.Arms isn't really "non-casual" though, it just failed to capture the casual audience.
It's a crossover appeal game, which is fine. That's mostly what Nintendo specializes in. But some of its design facets I think are polarizing to both camps, I don't think as a new IP it plays particularly well to the hardcore camp either.
Hope Buddy Mission Bond comes out someday in the West
Both IntSys and GoodFeel expressed interest in creating more new IP's and that's more than enough for me. My two of most favorite Nintendo affiliated studios.

Meteos please god meteos please god meteos please god
I don't think the situation is that dire. Koei has already taken over FE franchise and that allowed IntSys to work on Paper Mario. No one knows what they'll do next. A new IP is definitely on the cards, they have created 2 new IP's on 3DS alone. Same goes for Grezzo, they found time to do Ever Oasis on 3DS. Now that Furukawa is also on board of the idea of more new IP's, it's likelier than ever.
Taking like a 3 month break was basically a decade for Sakurai
As @Dinoman96 says, he really focused on Smash Ultimate being the end of a cycle. He could totally direct Smash again one day or at least be a producer but I think he wants to work on something else now.
In Paper Mario? That’s the penultimate chapter, and the last one is primarily the final dungeon and its boss fights.
What happen with GT?Jesus Christ I just caught up on the GT Microtransactions and what a major, major fuck-up by Sony. Thank god Nintendo didn't pull anything like that with Mario Kart (on their consoles, lol).
It hurts to see them continue to sink lower and lower with their business practices. Now I don't even think I'll grab a PS5 after a price cut / necessary slim model lol.
EDIT: removed reference to a certain game and put in proper thread after seeing it
Community Discussion Regarding A Certain Game
We were going to wait for the eventual SoP thread but since the issue is already bubbling up in other threads, we'll do it now. JK R's well-documented transphobia is being cited in legislation around the world as more politicians continue to dismantle and erase Trans rights. The H P franchise...
Hoping for Tunic shadow drop and Valheim 1.0 release on Switch. It's also time Bugsnax appeared elsewhere.

tis clear Sony smelled the proverbial blood in the water, and the source is whalesGran Turismo 7’s microtransactions are live, and GT Sports’ $5 cars now cost $40 | VGC
Players can buy in-game credits in packs of up to $20 each…
They’re just trying to fund all their games since they don’t make enough money for them. Heard that PlayStation Plus has way to few subscribers to compensate.Gran Turismo 7’s microtransactions are live, and GT Sports’ $5 cars now cost $40 | VGC

I second this. Just finished my first route earlier
Didn't the devs say there isn't any exclusivity deal between them and MS? Even if there was, it wouldn't be 6 months. Death's Door's exclusivity only lasted 4 months.
