Great point about the new IP issue. Pushmo, Harmoknight, etc. I'd even include Kid Icarus on that list since it is nothing like the originals and has been gone for so long.
People don't see those games and go, "Yeah, a new IP." Because when a lot of people say new IP, there's an invisible little asterisk next to it. That asterisk leads to a footnote that states:
*"When I say Nintendo doesn't make new IPs obviously I'm not including those handheld games or digital games, because that's not what I want. I want fully-fledged $60 new IPs. I want a new IP, but at the same time, I want it to be able to stand in the upper echelon of Nintendo titles with games like Mario and Zelda. Also I do not want them to be JRPGs like Xenoblade. Also I want them to be rated M."
So when I say, "Well Pushmo is a new IP." They say, "Screw that game."
