PS 4 games that feel like Nintendo franchise games
lolmonade:
Gotta be honest, agree with Broodwars here that the most "nintendo" games you'll find on PS4 are possibly some indies that ape the old NES style of gameplay. I usually play games on PS4 when I need a departure from the standard Nintendo fare. That said, I can provide a suggestion of my favorites that might have appeal to a Nintendo fan.
Rocket League is the most fun I've had playing a video game in a long, long time. Like an arcade soccer It's also available on Xbox One & PC, but the PS4 version has cross play with PC.
Flower & Journey are both well renowned games for PS4, originally on PS3 but run at a smoother framerate. I'd wait to see if they catch on sale at some point.
Guacamelee! is a pretty neat action 2D brawler, definitely worth the pick-up if you haven't gotten it on another platform yet.
Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a quirky game - think of QWOP in a 3D space, and that's how you control the game, comes with a neat premise of being an octopus disguised as a human raising his family and doing remedial tasks.
Resogun is a 2D shooter constrained in a cylindral space, the goal is to shoot alien ships while saving humans from being lifted away & killed. Can be addicting.

Thanks guys, these suggestions are really great.
I am surprised that there isn't more games that fit this concept. It seemed Sony was doing more stuff in the PS3 generation. Oh well.

Yeah, well...Sony's been slow on 1st Party PS4 games in general, and they very rarely market them. Hell, they just delayed Uncharted 4 for the 3rd time since it was announced. Lack of effort in 1st party software (especially with their obsession over VR now) is one of my major complaints with Sony this generation, especially after their 1st party PS3 software was so good.

Also, go ahead and play Gravity Rush Remastered if you never played it on Vita. It's an actual good game.

Well if you are into old school arcade games there is Ultra Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V, they are modern fighting games but you know have a deep legacy that does sort of intersect with Nintendo in a roundabout way.
Platformers are not really my thing so I don't even look for those so can't offer much help there. But I would recommend Knack, ignore the haters and give it a go it was a lot of fun. Not Nintendo levels of fun but damn near Sega levels which should be close enough.
