Haha I'm sure as hell glad I didn't stop reading after the first paragraph and comment based on that.

I don't know what to say besides I agree with pretty much everything you said. Nintendo needs to start making some new IP's again instead of just releasing different versions of their popular franchises. Like there's already been 3 mario games this gen, 2 zelda games once the new one releases,  2 metroids once Other M releases, but the only new IP I can think of off the top of my head is the Wii series.

I'm not saying releasing multiple Mario games is bad at all, its great for Nintendo fans that love the series, but I'm pretty sure nobody in their right mind would be mad if Nintendo made a few new IP's.

As I wrote in another thread today these are the new IPs I can recall of the top of my head for this generation: (the ones I have played and really enjoyed are in bold)

Wii... Series

Brain Training

Nintendogs

Disaster:DoC

Captain Rainbow

Nintendo Touch Golf

Big Brain Acadamy

Art Acadamy

Soma Bringer

Endless Ocean

Another Code

Zangeki no Reinglev

Flingsmash

Xenoblade

Maboshi

Rock and Roll Climber

Bonsai Barber

Eco Shooter 530

Jam with the Band

Polarium

Elite Beat Agents

Electroplankton

Hotel Dusk

Style Boutique

Flipnote Studio

 

As you can see their is a lot of them, but not many of them are traditional and 'high profile'.  The last 'hardcore' (I hate that term) high profile new IP Nintendo released was probably Pikmin

Dude whose heard of those games really? Wii series, Brain training and Nintendogs are the only names I'd think any average guy would recognize. The rest are really obscure (not bad, just obscure).

If we're talking big name series then Pikmin definitely is the last one Nintendo has made.
