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.

Although Im not a big fan, Ill give you Splatoon. Its a creative and well made franchise. 

But if Arms is the best they got this gen, then yeah, give me a new iteration of an older franchise instead.

Im not opposed to a new big IP of course, but I just don't trust Nintendo to give it what it needs. Rather them just pay third parties to do it for them. Astral Chain was great. More of that please.

Your personal dislike for ARMS (which is awesome) isn't really relevant.  It was a new idea that they wanted to try, and it didn't make sense to try it with an older franchise.

And, if they had given you an iteration of an older franchise instead, there's no guarantee that will be great either.  See Star Fox Zero.
