We are not asking for new “IP” we are asking for new worlds. Can you remember stepping into the Mushroom Kingdom for the first time? Can you remember infiltrating your first alien planet in Metroid? Can you remember taking down a bogey on slippy’s tail? Can you remember Olimar reviewing his discoveries, marooned on a world of strange giants.
By this standard, we must banish Labo and 1-2 Switch from the conversation. ARMS, Sushi Striker(?), Astral Chain...not bad I guess, but I am having trouble seeing a big standout among those games. Maybe the problem is the rest of Nintendo’s output overshadows the new stuff now...
