Nintendo desperately needs brand new IPs.
Well I bought their latest IP that I know of (HarmoKnight) and didn't see that exactly setting GAF on fire.
Pushmo and Crashmo did.
You're not wrong. They're top quality though. Is the general opinion that people do want new IP's from Nintendo but they have to be 9/10 or even 10/10 games or they won't be notified?
Newsflash: Nintendo is working only for Nintendo. (Monolith is Nintendo)
Isn't that the case for a lot of new IPs? Look at Remember Me (more ironic name ever). At the very least new IPs need a lot more exposure from NIntendo. I'll see how they do with W101, but I'm not expecting too much.
I don't mean to get out in the weeds, but monolith soft has made games for other consoles and most of its staff are former square developers. nintendo acquired a controlling share in the company at some point. But when I made my original statement, what I was talking about was nintendo's own internal development, like EAD and intelligent systems.

WTF happen to NST? I thought they would make F-Zero, Wave Race and 1080. We need those franchises to resurface. The guys at PG wants to make a Star Fox and they are a great fit for the task. I would buy a Wii U for new entries in those brand.

Man, Nintendo can do no right on NeoGAF.
Nintendo does something right -> god, why didn't you do this earlier Nintendo?
Nintendo plans to release a game in an unpopular franchise -> Nintendo, Pikmin isn't going to sell consoles Nintendo
Nintendo plans to release games in popular franchises -> Why aren't you giving me F-Zero Nintendo? You just keep releasing the same crap!
they should buy platinum games
not that i really care personally, i just think the internet reaction would be fucking hilarious on both sides
They plan to support their consoles alone, do they?
Kinda like, well, ok, fuck third parties, let's do it ourselves. Can they do this? I mean, is it financially possible? (given their titles have far lowest budgets than the average AAA western title)
I wish Nintendo would invest heavily on some western studios because it's not looking like they're going to get much western 3rd party support this gen. Maybe even less than the Wii as the Wii U hasn't taken off in the same way and the architecture is even more different. (At least the Wii was PowerPC like the 360 and PS3, but now the WiiU is PowerPC and the XbOne and PS4 are x86).
Nintendo needs their own Killzone/Resistance FPS, their own crackdown/infamous open world game, their own Forza/Gran Turismo driving game, and they need some western RPG presence as they have and probably will continue missing out on Bioware's games (Mass Effect/Dragon Age) and Bethesda's games (Fallout/Skyrim).
That's 4 game genre's that Nintendo is missing out on. Create 4 western studios and give them healthy development time (2 years) to make quality games. That'd be what I'd do.

As of May 6, 2007, Nintendo owned controlling interest in the company after Namco Bandai sold 80% of its 96% stake in Monolith Soft to Nintendo. This went into effect May 1, 2007. Later Namco sold the remaining 16%, making Monolith Soft a first-party developer for Nintendo. The company announced on July 8, 2011 that they were opening up an additional studio in Kyoto, Japan. They are currently developing games for both the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS.
No they don't,
Read the whole paragraph for more context:Miyamoto said:[...] in response to many fans asking why Retro is working on Donkey Kong and not Metroid, Miyamoto offered this curious comment: "Certainly we do feel that we want to leverage the capabilities of Retro Studios further, because as we've seen from the Metroid games, they're a very capable studio."
What do you guys think about this quote from the Interview?

I don´t really understand what he means with this statement.
Is "leverage the capabilities of Retro Studios further" related to the past by giving them DKC or is it related to a future project?
