Nintendo? but that's more "publisher who curates external- or internal-studios who largely stay in the same genre each"

>>majorm+(OP)
Yeah, Nintendo is the publisher in most of those scenarios. The individual studios, including Nintedo, tend to just iterate from what I can see.

I wonder what the "new game onboarding" process at Nintendo looks like. Thinking of something relatively more left-field and recent like the Mario Rabbids tactical thing for Switch.

Was that pitched to them? Solicited to studios by them? In the latter case that would be a fascinating process to observe.

>>majorm+(OP)
Whatever you label them, the same studios keep pumping out great games.

Rabbids are a spinoff from Rayman. I would assume Ubisoft was the driving creative force behind it. And it's somewhat damning that the "relatively recent" innovation is currently two expansion packs into its second installment.

Video games are like 50 years old now, relatively recent is relative... ;)
