That's quite literally the point. Is pretty bad when one of your most recent examples of a big new IP is 20 years old. 

Labo isn't really made by one of Nintendo's bigger teams, that is their experiment team iirc. I agree with Arms but like, it sold well and if we're being honest one of the bigger problems with it is that it covered a niche Nintendo already had down. 

I'm also curious, if what you say is true, then what franchise was sacrificed for the sake of Splatoon? 

Nintendo cant even give many of their current IPs the time of day, so whats the point of adding to the pile? I don't know what franchises didn't happen because of Splatoon, but I do know that that franchise will now be made way before any other franchise that doesn't already sell millions.

Splatoon and ARMS are great and unique games that really didn't fit with any of Nintendo's current IP.  So why not make them?

If there's an idea that's better than the older ones, then use those ones.  I mean, I love Punch Out! to death, but there's not a ton to do with that franchise, whereas Arms presented something fresh, so let's go with that.
