I think I've finally checked out when it comes to Nintendo's core franchises. I mean, for all the shit that COD and Assassin's Creed and other franchises get for iterating and milking the cow so hard it develops udder cancer, Nintendo has finally hit the tipping point with me where I just no longer give a shit about their games.
Most of them. That Yoshi game could be fun, and I enjoyed Kirby's Epic Yarn on a purely superficial level (it was just so darn CUTE, even if it was ridiculously easy).
Games like the new Monolith RPG, the Shin Megaten/ Fire Emblem crossover could be interesting depending on exactly what genre it is.
But yeah, the days of me buying a console day one just for the promise of the new Mario or the new Zelda has apparently passed me by.

The two points don't contradict themselves.
I'm not saying these games shouldn't exist, shouldn't be made, and there aren't people that won't enjoy them. I'm just relating MY personal reaction to them. They're not for me anymore, which I find kinda sad. It's great that they're being made for others who will appreciate them though.
...but I would like to see some new IPs from Nintendo.
