Can I bring another opinion completely different from the one /u/dustfeather

As somebody who has played a ton of times on a friends Wii U, the console only has Bayonetta 2 as a game that I would like to have

See Nintendo hasn't changed their franchises in a way they appeal to me or they don't change them enough, and it seems they are supporting 99% of their games in nostalgia, and I don't have that nostalgia since I've been always more of a Sega/Sony guy

Nintendo games follow a formula and that's something that doesn't attract me, if I played Ocarina of Time I've played Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, A Link to the Past and others I probably don't remember their name because I don't care enough for the franchise. Yes the game have their differences but at the end of the day there are 8 dungeons, I get the crossbow, boomerang, hookshot, bombs, deku nuts, etc with some changes and a new item that either doesn't feel good or if it does and has a good potential to expand compared to the old items is completely forgotten in the next game, also the game is hijacked by Ganon or Ganon's clone, you eliminate him for good (for realzies) and you have some scenes with Zelda and whoever is the new character that's completely forgotten in the next entry

oh but you're talking about Zelda, which always followed the formula

Before you tell me that Smash, Mario Kart, Metroid, etc haven't really changed, Melee brought an amazing amount of changes compared to the N64 version, and then it seems the franchise got stuck and now what the franchise brings is a just different rooster instead of a list of changes as big as the N64 vs Melee, yeah there are big differences if you want to go into the competitive level but if I can't tell that the game is completely different on a more casual level where I play with my not so gamer friends that's not good enough for me, which is something really different between each Street Fighter game where a ton of stuff is reworked between each game (and sometimes DLC), I can instantly tell the difference between Street Fighter 3 and Street Fighter 4 even if the games had exactly the same graphics

Metroid... well there's a reason the term metroidvania exists and Metroid hasn't really changed

Mario Kart... I almost found it insulting that game brought exactly 0 new stuff but hey if you screwed so many mechanics in previous games that saying it's shinier and it's not broken this time I guess that's good enough, seriously though, until Nintendo All Star Racing is brought to the table I have no interest in Nintendo racing games

The Mario platforming games, well, I really couldn't care much for this franchise, at least they got most of the changes part right, if they appealed to me I would be hooked, but the games need some more personality before I start consider them (look at Jak & Daxter or Ratchet & Clank or Sonic)

And I'm not actually done with my complains to Nintendo: see... it's like they live in an outside world, their online seems decades behind, my hotmail account made in 1999 still works and can be used for Xbox Live, while the Wii U stuff is bound to the console and it's gone if it dies, they don't see to understand controls standards (seriously, Mario Kart 8 is released in 2014 and uses A to accelerate) and they seem to ignore what other franchises from other companies bring to the table (in 1998 Ocarina of Time had the best 3D combat, 3 years later Devil May Cry is released expanding a lot of this, 14 years later Devil May Cry 1 still has a better combat than any Zelda)
