I find it sad that some Nintendo only want Platinum to work on old Nintendo IPs instead.

Platinum could (maybe even should) be used as a "concept factory" to produce new IPs and games. Their members are talented and creative, something proven with the games they have created being Platinum and Clover, that would be perfect for that task. Sure, 2/3 of those games would flop, but even then they still would make some small hits that in the long term would greatly benefit Nintendo.

maybe they do want to play the same old franchises over and over again.

And that wouldn't be a problem if they let Nintendo do new games.

Let's face it, Nintendo has enough teams to make those games (Star Fox, F-Zero, Metroid, etc.), they don't need to buy new studios to make them. No, if those games aren't coming is simply because Nintendo don't want to make them.

i agree, totally.
