Nintendo doesn't branch out all too much (They don't often explore new IP), and their hardware is pretty simple, but what they lack in strength or new IP they make up for in innovation both in gameplay mechanics and in hardware options as well as portability. PS4/5 may be my go-to for a lot of games, but I play most smaller indie games on Switch and I probably put more time into Pokemon and Breath of the Wild than anything on PS ever. 

Nintendo actually has been releasing a good number of new franchises, even when they are spin offs of older IPs they have a totally different gameplay so they can be count for me to balance. For instance, Luigi's Mansion is part of Mario IP/Universe, but it's a totally different franchise of games. Point is Nintendo already has so many spin offs they are suffering to manage all them, we only got a Pokemon Snap sequel over 20 years after the original game, crazy you think about it 

That's said they still releasing some new IPs this gen: Astral Chain, Arms, Ring Fit, Labo and Clubhouse Games. They also announced Game Bulding Garage. I think the perception of lacking in new IPs is mostly because:

1) older IPs overshadows new IPs completely on Switch, during Wii U we at least got Splatoon that turned into a flagship AAA Blockbuster title this gen. Meanwhile most of Switch new IPs has been proven fairly forgettable. Ring Fit is becoming a new big IP though 

2) some of their new IPs are for a more casual crowd or fall into gaming design tied to peripherals (Clubhouse Games, Labo) that aren't greatly enjoyed by all kinds of gamers, I personally only like Ring Fit Adventure among all those ""casual"" Nintendo games

Clubhouse Games is not new. There was one on the DS.
