Halo MCC redid things and changed things as well, I guess that is a new ip as well then?

Not even close as extensively as Nintendo Remix did. Besides, it also bears the Halo brand, not a new brand

IP's dont just refer to the name.

A NEW IP uses new property, so ideally, shouldn't use any property from another IP. That's why mario spin-offs would not count, however since we aren't a legal team, as long as the title is a drastic change and doesn't focus too much on the previous IP's, I can let it off, however there are no cases of such in the list above.

Well, what makes a new IP is really debatable. To give examples: I personally would count main Mario games, Mario Kart, Mario Golf and Smash Bros as completely different IPs although all of them make use of Mario. Mario Maker is difficult, I probably would count it still with main Mario games, although the creation gameplay is somewhat different. But then you could say it could also have been happen that a new Mario Game included an editor, that would be something similar. NES Remix is in similarly difficult terrain. For Nintendoland I think it is more clear it is a new IP, as it has completely new gameplay, it is no Zelda or Metroid game. Similar as Smash is another IP.

'Mario Golf' relies on the mario brand to sell the game.

An IP isnt limited to gameplay, it's characters, story, world, features etc.

1. Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.

If there's too much reliance on a previous IP, (and mario is a IP on its own) then it doesnt count as a NEW IP.
