I have always been a hard critic on Nintendo not doing more new stuff and I mean new IPs. It is just like Nintendo's reluctance to fully embrace the internet. They are very stubborn. They should and need to make new IPs. I think a lot of people move on after so many new Mario titles and such. Not all of course, there will always be diehard fans but they are not helping expand the market with new games that will entice and interest those who don't like existing Nintendo franchises and it would also help against there terrible third party support.
Nintendo does need to push forward with new IPs to stay competitive. Your not expanding your consumer if you don't. You only attract existing fans. Games like Splatoon are the right direction for Nintendo.
