That's kind of hillarious, how many of the greatest Nintendo titles actually rely on these "innovations".
Super Mario Galaxy? No
You use the IR pointer to collect star bits, you can shoot the star bits at enemies as well, you waggle the Wii mote to perform the spin attack, and you use motion control for the star ball levels and surfing on the manta ray. There's even more, but that's the general gist.
Breath of the Wild? No
That's a launch game which is a Wii U port. It was going to make use of the two screens of the Wii U, but Aonuma decided to scrap that idea after they decided on a Switch port. The other Zelda games on the Wii U made use of the two screens though.
Mario Kart? No
You can control Mario Kart with the motion control.
Pokemon? No
Pokémon is made by Gamefreak, not Nintendo.
Animal Crossing? No
Animal Crossing makes use of street pass.
Fire Emblem? No
Almost every Nintendo game would be perfectly viable on ps4/xbo/pc.
If Nintendo had actually innovated in any meaningful succesful way in the past decade maybe Reggie would have some sort of a point, but regardless he avoided the main question and didn't address what's best for Nintendo itself once. The debate was a joke.

And you ignore many games that do make good use of these innovations like Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Warioware, etc.

RELY on these innovations, not USE them in any capacity.
You CAN use motion controls in Mario Kart, you certainly don't need to, infact I believe the majority would agree motion controls is the worst control method available.
My point was that all of Nintendo's major games do not require "gimmicks" or "innovations" to be fantastic titles. Super Mario Galaxy could have still been just as good without having IR pointing or Waggle motions as part of it. There are of course exceptions ot the rule, like some of the ones you listed. Wii Sports at least, but for the most part the greatest Nintendo games aren't made great because of Motion this or Infrared that.
