So if Nintendo had published games like Zombi U or The Wonderful 101 then they wouldn't flopped?
Why shouldn't al these games count as new IP's for Nintendo, it was the first time they were released on a Nintendo home console.
And  the games that didn't even release (Project Giant Robot) shows again how much of a failure they were on Wii U.

If you want to count 2nd party new Ips that flopped then only Wonderful 101 and TMS fits, TMS in particular didn't sold specially bad for a Shin Megami Tensei spin off with no translation outside english and a very limited release, but even if you want to count it as a flop those are 2 games, not a dozen. Also since we are talking about a new ip made by Nintendo (Arms) it makes way more sense to compare it with another new ip made by them like Splatoon instead of comparing it with an Atlus game.

But since you are even naming games that were never released to make your point I think this discussion makes no sense as you completely lack credibility.

I think this is what some are overlooking. This is a new IP made by Nintendo, in house and led by Kosuke Yabuki, who had a hand on New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Twilight Princess, Nintendogs + Cats, and the latest Mario Kart games including the upcoming 8 Deluxe. Splatoon and Nintendo Land were two new IPs made in house by the more notable teams and they've done well. If ARMS was made by a smaller team and less notable dev, then maybe I might see where some are thinking in projecting lower sales, but it isn't the case.
