Nintendo is fine. Have lots of old IPs and new IPs from time to time.
People demand new ones but what they really want are games from the old series. So, they are doing a great job managing all those massive assets they created since the 80s.

As an example: What happened with Animal Crossing in Switch is just incredible.
When Miyamoto was developing the original one for the N64 (when was still known as "Animal Forest"), he talked about it in late 2000 or 2001 in the media, Reading him, I was thinking "WTF are you doing creating that kind of game nobody will buy for a machine is also dying with no internet service... -Dreamcast already had Online games, WORLDWIDE, since 2000-).

Well...24 years later, Animal Crossing is a huge franchise, and the Switch game sold more than any Final Fantasy, Resident Evil or Gran Turismo individual game will probably never sell* (HUGE series by then. Even more important than today).

*(Excluding, maybe -I don't know-, the FFXIV online).

So... just let Nintendo do what they do
