Metroid Prime series, Pikman, Animal Crossing, Beaten Katios(i think) those are most known however there are others less know that i love.

It’s true that they don’t release that many new IPs but there sequels are more than “sequels”. Is Mario 64 really a sequel to Super Mario World? Seriously, try to find any similarities besides the characters. That’s an extreme example but still, when Nintendo makes sequels it’s like it’s not like Guitar Hero 1&2, or San Andreas and Vice City (what are the differences between these two games exactly?). Nintendo does make sequels that are just that (Metroid Prime 1 and 2) but a lot of the time they really change the fundamentals of the game. Mario 64 was running in open levels, Sunshine was thoroughly bizarre, and Galaxy was in space. Can you really call these sequels like you call Halo 2 and 3 sequels?

Pikmin.

I agree with  you, the main problem is that no one thinks a this kind of "spin off" like Prime series as a new IP...but eventually  is way and far differently than the sequels we talk always

Most of the time is a new concept inspired on a world/characters

as far as sales and such I am going to go with Animal Crossing, Brain Training, Wii**** and Pikmin... Most of their newer IP's are more casual based. Also wario ware is a new IP, but I would not count that since it uses an old character.

I'll say something everyone said.
Pikmin.

Game_boy said: Metroid Prime. In terms of gameplay it was completely unlike any previous Nintendo game.

 I thought Retro Studios made Metroid Prime.

Pikmin.
Nintendogs.
Wii Fit.

All touched by the golden fingers of Miyamoto. All brand new IPs.

Nintendogs and probly Animal crossing......i loved animal crossing

While Nintendo may not have the eye-candy/networked games found on the other consoles that help make a game get rated as AAA, it often is the first one to come out with a completely unique game or style, that others will then copying, saying 'well, I coulda done that'.  But they didn't.

So, even if those games are not done in an AAA style, they are so unique that they sell.  Examples would be Nintendogs, BrainAge and WiiSports.  But even ones like Super Paper Mario deserve mention.  Yes, it could have been made better.  But the idea to fuse 2D and 3D in a game was another example of unique thinking.
