Why do Nintendo's new Switch IPs get called "failures"?

That's not really accurate though. Some of the people there are obviously a lot more talented than others. Would you really want them giving BOTW or Odyssey like budgets to the new trainees or whatever they had working on those other games? So in reality it's probably smaller things like Arms, 1-2 Switch etc, or a huge expensive flop because they gave too much money to their B team.

Well Retro was new when they made Metroid Prime. Nintendo has many great veterans that can oversee projects.

Not just that, but generally a not so good talent is paired with a veteran as a mentor o team them to get better. A great young talent, is probably given some freedom to come up with some qwerky new IP idea to see if Nintendo like it or not and at times they may release it to the market to see if some untapped market will buy it.
