I completely understand and appreciate your perspective, but to me the newness of an IP is overrated. I'd much rather have new experiences and mechanics than new characters and stories. And in my opinion, Nintendo is great at reinventing its franchises even as it reuses the same plotlines, heroes, and villains.

Those things are not mutually exclusive and indeed new IPs are more likely to have new experiences and mechanics than otherwise. When you have an stabilished franchise you don't want to change things too much in risky of pissing off its fandom

I agree they're not mutually exclusive. And I'm all for more genre diversity. But I remain convinced that the newness of an IP doesn't hold much intrinsic value -- in part because, to me, lore, story, and character are relatively unimportant parts of a game and in part because there are plenty of ways to repurpose a dusty IP and make it feel like a brand new experience. And over the last 40 years, Nintendo has been peerless in that endeavor.
