I think I prefer to see Nintendo continuing by investing into creating new gameplay and innovative ideas into the IPs they already own than just creating something completely new for the sake of doing it. They proved they could do just that this generation while still having a good sprinkle of actual new IPs here and there.

And let's not forget the numerous collabs they have with 3rd party working on their IPs. New creative ideas have been brought up from there.

True. I'm surprised we haven't gotten Xenoblade Warriors. Maybe they can revive their forgotten 80s IPs with better gameplay, like Urban Champion as a more over the top tournament fighter, or Mach Rider as an open world vehicular combat game.

New Nintendo IPs on Switch. Nintendo usually does a number of new IPs but often smaller scale.

Astral Chain

Flip Wars

Snipperclips

1-2 Switch

Ring Fit Adventure

Game Builder Garage

ARMS

Jump Rope Challenge

Good Job

The Stretchers

Nintendo Labo

Fitness Boxing

Dragalia Lost

Sushi Striker

Buddy Mission Bond

That is a lot of new IPs for Switch, but like every generation, they somehow don't count to fit some narrative. Aside from Nintendo keeping well-known IPs fresh with new ideas, what new ideas has Sony or MS done this generation?

Nintendo will launch new IPs, so dont worry, but when Switch 2 launch I just want a sequel for Arms called "Legs". I'll buy day one.

Are they so easy to make, at this time? Microsoft struggles with Perfect Dark and outright ignores Conker and Jet Force Gemini. Maybe that is an opportunity, to make it different though. But the thing is also: this wasn't Nintendo to begin with, it was Rare. I doubt this conglomeration of talent happens again in the same configuration. Luckily there can be other configurations. Which results in different games.

Yes

I personally yawn every time I see a new game from Nintendo thst is essentially a new IP but they put it as "Mario something"

I like new characters and new worlds, and new art direction. For me this is as important as new gameplay

That's why something like Splatoon is so fresh. If it was "Mario Painting" I would never ever touch it 

Since 2017 (year Switch was released)

- Horizon

- Materfall

- Drawn to Death 

- Astrobot 

- Detroit Become Human

- Days Gone

- Death Stranding 

- Ghost of Tsushima

- Returnal 

- Rise of Ronin (is this Sony owned)

- Concord

So I think only Returnal, Rise of Ronin and Concord are new this gen. Maybe Astrobot, but I consider the first game to be Rescue Mission which was a VR game 

Yeah Nintendo made new IP just like they do every single gen, so I really don't get what OP is trying to say. Only thing I can think is that maybe OP is only thinking of major mega selling games that become big new franchises (ie WiiU had Splatoon, Wii had Wii Sports, GC had Animal Crossing).

And while Switch had Ring Fit selling over 15 million, it's unlikely to become a new franchise since I'm guessing next gen Nintendo is gonna come out with another new fitness peripheral, though you never know, they stuck with Wii Balance Board so maybe they'll stick with the Ring next gen. Anyway OP is probably not thinking about a fitness games cuz usually those are viewed as like a separate thing from regular games. OP is probably talking about a new character driven series. It's true Switch didn't have a big new character-driven franchise this gen, but Nintendo did make a bunch of new IP for Switch and their fitness game sold huge numbers.

So it seems really odd to say Switch didn't focus on new IP. Nintendo put out a ton of new games on Switch, numerous of which were new IP. There was just nothing from this gen where it's obvious the game is going to be the first in an ongoing series each gen.

ARMS and Astral Chain might continue onward, even though they are both fairly niche games compared to Nintendo big sellers. Personally I'd much rather see a new Punchout game with motion controls next gen than a new ARMS game. And while I expect Nintendo to make new IP next gen like they do every gen including the Switch, I hope they bring back some ignored franchises next gen. I'm less concerned with getting a big new franchise next gen than I am in seeing a brand new DK, Fzero, Star Fox, Kid Icarus, Punchout, etc.
