Doshin the Giant, Mother (3), Metroid, Custom Robo, Kid Icarus, Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Punch-out, Sin & Punishment, Excite (Truck), New Super Mario Bros. and probably more I'm forgetting.

EDIT: Added some more to the lists above and made the third list below...

I didn’t know PictoChat was a game… lol Allot of the games you mentioned are not in-house and some of them are third-party :P. I know they are creating new games but they are casual games. The last hardcore game they created was Pikmin. And creating spinoffs like Zelda FS and Mario RPG will not be taken as new IP’s people will just say it is another Mario or Zelda game. @Zucas hahaha yeah that is so funny read the OP again. They do create new IP’s but mostly casual lol

PictoChat is a IP with a purpose, inhouse doesn't change that it's a Nintendo IP, third parties are already noted, "casual" dismissal doesn't make sense because you're ignoring Giest, Disaster, etc. Spinoffs are noted seperately and can't be written off by people that actually know what they're talking. I can keep going.

The problem with goalpost arguments is that I can always taken them down with a hacksaw.
