The indie label will be "Leaning further into our own popular IPs in a variety of ways".

Milking an IP dry for 40+ years like Nintendo sounds like an evil Easter egg to find in the game, not what to do with it.
Otherwise, me and the wife love playing it co-op.
Nintendo doesn't really "dry" their IPs. They actually innovate between games, making sure each installment is worthy of existing. They don't just slap a new number on the same content as last time, like the EAs, Ubisofts and Actiblizzards of the industry.
That's why they've lasted. A game featuring Mario or Link isn't so much a familiar IP, as it has become a seal of quality.
Doesn't mean they aren't guilty of a bunch of other anti-consumer bullshit.
Absolutely agree.
Pokemon, on the other hand ...
Gamefreak needs a fire lit under their ass.
One they can't put out by litigating it to shreds.
Pokemon innovates! If you combined all the changes since gen 1, you'd have 3 gens worth of new gameplay. But mega giga tera Pokemon using z moves might be a bit broken
I have a lot more problem with the quality these days then the innovation level
Why does it look like they're making their 3D titles on PlayStation 3s?
Idk. All 2D Mario games seem pretty similar. Of course people are hungry for new levels to play, but there's hardly anything groundbreakingly different from one to the next. And releasing things like Deluxe version of Mario Kart, a game that already seemed particularly derivative of the last entry in the series also feels a bit like milking. Feel like they've been afraid of making changes since double dash.

This is exactly why they put out Super Mario Wonder, which was pretty different (and pretty good imo)
