Nintendo rarely releases new own IPs in well-established genres.

They usually make games in genres they once invented or revolutionized.
It's highly unlikely that they will ever do realistic sports games or military shooters.

It is not a whether or not but it is a should they or not.

They shouldn't.

The EA and 2K sports games have established fan bases and licensing the original rosters is expensive.

Their development teams aren't big enough to release so many games and they don't have enough experience with the genres.

Games like Fifa, Madden or NBA never had good attach rates on Nintendo consoles. The situation wouldn't change much if they had all those games. MAking them themselves would probably be a huge waste of money.

And annual sports games don't fit to their philosophy, they want to create timeless games.
