Wasmt Captain Toad a financial success? It sold over 400k in japan/NoA, will keep on selling with Europe+Legs and its a game that was practically not that much too make.

Sonic Boom should by all rights be a total failure. But... Thanks to the cartoon probably, it wasn't... But I don't think most Sonic Boom buyers were the core Nintendo fanbase, they were probably children or angry Sonic fans who bought the game anyway.
I feel like splatoon will be succesfull
PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m
Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Desitny doesn't "count" as a new IP, IT IS a new IP.
As for Captain Toad, I dont' know much about it but it's only sold 430k(according to VGC) so it's irrelevant whether its a new IP or not since it isn't successful.
So how do we define success? Well we should start by determining how big of a budget the game had and how many copies it needed to sell to break even. The more sales, the more successful.
A game like Destiny is obviously super successful. A game like Captain Toad....I mean if it had 1 Million sales, I'm not even sure that would be considered successful. I know I personally wouldn't consider it successful.
Example: PS4 version of The Amazing Spiderman 2 sold 360k according to VGC. Is that successful? I wouldn't say so and I don't think Activision does either. It probalby barely broke even.
The Evil Within. Sold 1.13m on PS4 alone. I'd say that is pretty successful. Succesful enough for a sequel.
Again it all comes back to the more sales, the more successful. There is not 1 single Wii U game that I would say is a successful new IP. Watch Dogs comes to mind but the Wii U port flopped. (Yeah, I know late port, no DLC....blah blah blah)
"Wii U has no games" then the Wii U got games. "Wii U has no new IPs" then the Wii U got new IPs. "Wii U has no successful new IPs" Even though this is wrong to begin with, I find it humorous how people just keep cherrypicking to make the Wii U look as bad as possible. At least pick something that's a genuine, true problem for the console, like region locking.

I am 99.99% sure Nintendo has already made their money back from Captain Toad. They literally reused all the assets from 3D World and made a small budget game. It is easily a success and will result in a pretty respectable profit by the end of its lifetime. I'm not sure how you could come to the conclusion that it wouldn't be successful if it reached a million copies, that does not make any sense whatsoever. Not every game has to sell a million in order to be profitable, especially when it comes to Nintendo because they're really smart when it comes to budgeting their titles.
When you have 100+ Ip's you don't need to create new ones.... how many do Sony and MS have? first party that is...
If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing

The OP and a few other users in general seem to have something out for the poor thing. I just wanna play ma black rectangle.

Well Lego City: undercover and Captain toad are the two successful new IP on WiiU
Wonderful 101 bomb mostly because of how bad WiiU did in sales. The WiiU is actually one of the worst platform to bring a AAA new IP, new IP aren't normally well received.
Splatoon is going to be a big new IP for Nintendo.
Since no 3rd party developper are making games on WiiU look to the Eshop for new IP .... Unepic, Shovel Knights, Child of Light(Ubisoft), ARmillo, Little Inferno
Except we don't know really how well they do Financially.
