Baldur's Gate 3 dev says AAA is "perversely fascinated" by indie games, because those devs still understand how to make good ideas that aren't reliant on data (www.gamesradar.com)

What do you mean by first iteration of a series? Do you mean the first entry into the franchise?

I mean we can argue about the degree you can change a go-kart game but I think Nintendo does try different things. Mario Kart 64 was 3D with 4 players, Mario Kart DS did online play, Double Dash did the two drivers in one kart. Mario Kart Wii did motion controls. Mario Kart World Tour (I haven't tried) but it has this open world driving concept, I think?

They also do milk their IP and they do release a lot of sequels like Mario Party and such.

However, at the same time Nintendo takes risks with their console/games like no other, I feel.

I won't back their legal strategies though, I don't think anybody should.
