Among the big Japanese publishers, is Nintendo the least creatively risk-averse?

Please provide an example of any IP that comes anywhere close to the whoring level of Mario.  

There are over 130 megman titles.  Mario has over 200 i think. Not as much. But definitely whoring  and the games weren't even that successful 

I wouldn't ever imagine more than 20-30 Megaman games, even more because there are always people asking for more. Talk about unremarkable.

Gamers could probably pull from memory 100 Mario games though.
