*cracks knuckles*
Using wikipedia's List of video games published by Nintendo for most dates, so if there are a few that released a few years off from the listed dates, this is why (and any game with no page about it will be ignored unless I know it - redlinks, that is). Games with asterisks are Japan-only, but I'll only list ones I've heard of or can be bothered checking. Games not released in America but released in Europe (or vice versa) *will* be listed regularly. List will also include notable subfranchises such as Luigi's Mansion. Bolded entries are notable for being major franchises. Handheld games listed first, then console games. I'll just list from 2000 onwards.
One last note: DSiWare titles will not be listed. 3DSWare titles and WiiWare titles will, however.

Special case - 2012 Wii U: NintendoLand, Project P-100.
Also notable are the ones that got cancelled - Project HAMMER, Wii Crush, and Cosmic Walker. If those three that we know of got cancelled, there were probably many more that was never seen.
Just since 2006, Nintendo has released 59 new IP titles. Even if you restrict it to games released in the West and not particularly debatable, there's still 46 new IPs. Even if you treat all Wii ___ titles as one IP, it's still 42 new IPs. So when people claim that Nintendo only relies on very old IPs, I can't help but question whether they're deluded or willfully ignorant of all of Nintendo's new IPs.
EDIT: And before anyone goes "but how many of those have you heard of", I'd like to point out that new IPs are risky - they don't always perform well. But it's absurd to ignore those ones, as they're still attempts at new IPs, and you can't actually *rely* on new IPs.
