Has Nintendo run out of ideas for new IP's?

[Ouroboros24]

I don't know what to say anymore about Nintendo and new IPs. I like some, I don't like some, I think between the last 5 years certainly they have not garnered the attention at the capacity of past games, but then again what has? It has either been sequels, prequels, spin-offs, remakes, etc. All big 3 console makers fall into the same category. Really, I think the normal gamer has been so used to playing games that they see parallels into older games they've played before and for the most part it's true. Gamers are so used to playing games that even when a new IP comes out, they don't see the value because they either have lofty standards or are just in the beer goggles of gaming.

Think of a game, any game within the last 5 years and tell me that game is completely devoid of repeats of game mechanics, story or what have you. Even new IPs we consider to be darlings of the game industry will take queues from past games. Its understandable and just the nature of the beast. It's been 30+ years of video games, it's just normal that no new IP will set the world on fire and be a complete new gameplay.

Reading everyone comments and their inputs about new IPs, I certainly agree that Nintendo has been putting out new IPs. There's just no way to deny that they aren't. It's just the consensus with some gamers is that they don't.

I guess my respond to the op is this: Nintendo is trying. Sony is trying. Microsoft is trying. I think the OP needs to understand there isn't some magical new IP that will be both new gameplay and overall just new. All 3 of them have been putting out there new IP, simply it's not what your brain is telling you.
