Just for the record I think Hyrule Warrior, Captain Toad, and Bayonetta 2 should all be considered new IPs. Bayonetta 2 because it's a new IP to Nintendo and Captain Toad and Hyrule Warriors because they're completely different games than the franchise the characters come from. Captain Toad in particular since Toad has never gotten his own game and it's entirely different than anything in the Super Mario franchise. To me if we're not calling that a new IP than something like Portal wasn't a new IP either when it came out due to it spinning off from the Half-Life franchise. Just using that as one example, there's several others too though that are considered new IPs despite some relation to an existing franchise.
