QuoteNintendo's Iwata Talks Mario Galaxy And Miyamoto
Shimizu: And then, two and a half years ago, after finishing Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, we had time to think about our next project. We were planning to do a completely original game, but Miyamoto looked sad and told us: "I want you to make a game featuring a Nintendo character."

Do you really need to cue Ian? I thought he did it regardless!

but Miyamoto looked sad
Did this make anyone else laugh?
but then Miyamoto looked sad . . . and we could hear children around the world crying. Then it started to rain outside as if the heavens themselves were filled with sadness. So we made a game with a preexisting character.

If only MIyamoto knew as much as Bungie, whose Halo series at the very least compares to Miyamotos franchises!

All of them, combined. He is the MASTER Master Chief.

Miyamoto treats IPs as window dressing. He only feels the need to invent a new one if current franchises characters don't fit. The only reason he created pikmin was because the gameplay wouldn't have fit with any existing Nintendo characters to him. So... new IP! But if the Donkey Kong Jungle Beat team is showing potential for a great action-platformer? BAM! Use the Mario franchise!

Or how about that 2000s franchise, oh what was it called? WarioWare?

I must've bought the bootleg version, 'cause I could swear my copy had a different name.

1. You have to remember that Animal Crossing was a fairly new franchise when it was released on the N64 and GC a few years ago and thanks to the DS version the series is now one of Nintendo's most popular franchises.
2. I wouldn't count EBA/Ouendan out. The series may not have sparked the same fire Mario, Zelda and Metroid did but it certainly grabbed the attention of many. Ouendan IS the most imported title to date, good enough to warrant a sequel, not many original IPs do that nowadays.
3. Brain Age, Nintendogs and the Wii series of games are new IPs that have done extraordinarily well (I'm well aware that these are games aimed at the casual crowd, but they were quirky new IPs nonetheless, and Nintendo promoted the hell out of them).
I think Nintendo has the misfortune of releasing new IP games at the wrong time. Games like Geist and Chibi-Robo, Odama were released at a time in which the GC was dying. They needed more exposition.

Geist was killed for lack of polish and buzz.

Any other guesses to games I own I haven't played?
Currently, there's Killer 7 and Geist.
