Jin Fujisawa did not receive so much hate because of Dragon Quest X neither Naoki Yoshida because of FFXIV, maybe that is because they have not Shigeru Miyamoto's notoriety... Concerning Mario vs. Donkey Kong, the game is released for almost a decade why complaining now

"Nintendo in the past didn't really have problems trying out new IPs with similar gameplay to other major IPs"

When they were starting developing on NES Donkey Kong was their only established IP, on SNES they had already Mario,Zelda,Metroid,Kirby, Fire Emblem. Nintendo has more and more established IP, it is harder and harder for them to find the right balance between creating new IP and deliver sequels to fans of these established IP (for exemple Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero,Pikmin...). I do not know if it is even possible to find one exemple of Nintendo IP which have similar gameplay to another...

It's because he's way more well known than those two, and he has more power/say than most devs.

Your second paragraph = good point.
