Well as much as i'm looking forward to DKC:TF, it kinda really is playing it safe. Plus with almost all of the other games they were showing off. In that interview, Miyamoto uses the terms "there is a misunderstandig" a little bit too much for my taste... He's a genius and a legend and all, but isn't the definition of a new IP also just a matter of personal interpretation? It sounds a bit like we, the gamers, just don't get it and he, the creator, is just so misunderstood!
For me for example, Yarn Yoshi is absolutely not a new IP, simply because it's a Yoshi game! Just because you change the artstyle and alter the gameplay a little bit doesn't make a new IP, it's just the best way to be able to keep your Characters fresh and interesting. Or what about the "completely new" gameplay experience in Pikmin 3? How's that even possible, it's still a Pikmin game, the core gameplay will still be the same with some changes here and there.
I'm a longtime Nintendo fan, but since the Wii it went a bit downhill with them in my opinion. NSMBU was claimed to be super innovative by Nintendo, while it actually was just more of absolutely the same. Having two NSMB games in between 4 months didn't help either.
I'm hoping that after the first wave of those E3 games, they will become a bit more risky again and start listening to what the fans really would want to have!
