Right now i think only one of the many Nintendo EPD teams focus on making new IPs, while the other EPD teams focus on established Nintendo series. One thing though is that Nintendo is in the process of expanding Nintendo EPD and will build a new development center in the coming years. Which could mean that they will create a new EPD team that will also focus on making new IPs.
The thing with new IPs though is that when you make a succesful new IP like Splatoon during the Wii U era, that will then mean that the new IP in question will also become an established franchise that will need ever more games, which means for every succesful new IP you create it means you have less development resources to come up with a new IP afterwards because you will then have to focus on growing the already established new IP over making an entirely new IP.
