But you could argue that aside from story, character design and a few mechanics (so basically Pokemon...) that that's the exact same game released on the NES and that that hasn't changed either. Edit: I'm not bashing FE:A I freaking love it, but the same comparisons can be made.

Heck, matrix's point is that the other companies don't get stick for it. Whilst I've not played lots of them I'm pretty sure all Halo, Gears of War, Kill Zone, God of war and heck probably ratchet and clank etc. are almost all identical with only a few changes. Nobody seems to care about this though as Sony and Microsoft have only been in the business for half the time that Nintendo has.

Video games are like High concept movies/ blockbusters. They sell because of repetition and sequels etc just with slightly different stories, as far as I'm concerned I can see where the argument comes from but there are enough new features each time to make them fresh and fun. And besides, the WiiU is a perfect example of what happens when Nintendo step back. They get too much stick for locking out third parties, so they stepped back with WiiU to let them in and next to nobody wants to develop for it hence the dry spell, with Nintendo having to come along and save it with their games.

Basically Nintendo just can't win.
