I think the point is they go for new games instead of remakes. Not that they don't use the same IP.

Hell even the list of Wii-U games ported to the Switch is staggering. As an early adopter of the Wii-U, implying Nintendo doesn't like rehashing old ideas is laughable.

I didn't realise so many non-Nintendo studios made games for Nintendo. I'm not a console gamer so I wouldn't know. You should have posted this the first time, but I guess now you understood their point. You're welcome :)

Nintendo Published Games: 41
Most of the games on that list fit that definition. Stuff like Zero Mission are extremely different from the original games.
Of course then you also have stuff like BDSP so it’s debatable whether they’ve kept up their policies in recent times, but you could definitely see that in the past.
