Topic: What new IPs have Nintendo created within the last 5 years, or have planned?

I know this is a general Nintendo topic but there's no forum just for Nintendo in general, so I'm gonna ask here. What new franchises, or older franchises with a totally different style of gameplay, has Nintendo put out since late 2009, or have planned for the future?

Off the top of my head HarmoKnight, Splatoon, Pushmo, Steel Diver and probably some more too.

Pushmo
Steel Diver
HarmoKnight
Dillon's Rolling Western
Splatoon
FreakyForms
Captain Toad
NES Remix
Xenoblade Chronicles
Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.
Sakura Samurai
Wonderful 101
Nintendo Land
Streetpass Games
Rusty's Real Deal Baseball

That's all I could think of off the top of my head...

Genuine question, is Xenobalde an orginal IP? Monolith made all those Xeno games before and I thought Xenoblade was a part of that series, I've only played Xenoblade Chronicles so I'm not sure what the other games are like.

I'm pretty sure it is. It's more of a spiritual successor to the Xenogears series, but still counts as original new IP.

Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade are all unrelated.

Flipnote Studio...?

STILL WAITING NINTENDO

A lot of other companies lack of francises that can endure more than 2 years.

While Monolith Soft created the Xenosaga series neither they nor Nintendo hold the IP of it or Xenogears, so technically Xenoblade is a new IP.

Additionally, Xenoblade's got nothing to do with Xenogears story-wise.

There's also FlingSmash and a lot of DSiWare such as A Kappa's Trail and Photo Dojo.

And Art Academy.

There's probably some more DSiWare and WiiWare new IPs too.

The more important question is how many new IP's have they created with the resources allocated to them of say Zelda or 3D Mario.

You means as in, with the resources given to the dev teams to develop new Zeldas and Marios?

Probably zero

That is the point. Anything they put as much into as those would be brilliant. Even very similar mechanics but a new setting would be better.

How many times have they created games with such different mechanics that it could have been its own game but instead threw an existing IP on it?

Completely disagreed, taking the same gameplay but putting it in a new setting would be utterly pointless. New IPs need unique gameplay mechanics to define them, otherwise they feel like clones of each other, and that makes them less fun.
