Is Miyamoto's take on new IP's right?

He is right, you can have new experience with old characters.

Can anyone seriously say that Paper Mario was'nt a completly new experience just because Mario was in it? Same with Mario Kart or the Mario and Luigi series.

Kirby Mass Attack was also a completly new experience from any other Kirby games before it.

Pokémon Snap was a pokémon game, but still a total new experience.

Metroid games were all 2d games, when they decided to make a FPS Metroid, they could have chosen to go with a new IP, instead they decided to keep Samus. Does'nt change the fact that Metroid Prime is a totaly different experience than previous Metroids.

Star Fox Adventure was supposed to be a new IP. At the end it became a Star Fox game unlike any others (for better or worst, better imo). Fox walking with a magical stick fighting dinosaurs and solving puzzles was'nt a different experience from previous Star Fox games that were all railed shooters in space only?

DK64 is also totaly different, it's one of my favorite game of all time, meanwhile I'm not a huge fans of the DKC series.
