Just because they make games in the same franchise doesn’t mean they don’t innovate. Mario Kart World has an open world, new mechanics that were never seen before in a racing game let alone a kart racer, and a completely new and fun game mode. Echoes of Wisdom is a completely unique game about copying and pasting items found in the world to solve puzzles and combat. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave doubles down on the social aspect from Three Houses and introduces a multiple playable characters with their own stories that intertwine with each other.
They innovate a lot more than you think. Especially compared to Xbox and PlayStation, who just seem to release the same shit under new IP. I do wish Nintendo would release more new IP, and that they would stop releasing things like Mario Tennis at full price, but to say that they never innovate is just plain wrong.
I’m sorry but Horizon Zero Dawn is literally the most cookie cutter game of all time (I like the robots tho)
