Adding more:

BoxBoy, Astral Chain, Mario + Rabbids.

Not to also discount how they have done new things with their existing IP like the AR Mario Circuit.

Nintendo is also innovating on their existing IP. So the idea that Nintendo can't do anything "New" is just not true.

When a new Zelda game sells this well of course the team that makes Zelda games are going to make a new Zelda game. It still feels fresh after 20 some odd years.

Splatoon is an amazing franchise. Advanced Wars also has real potential. I'd buy a sequel to Arms.

There's a great video out there on the history of Mario Kart, where they detail how they set out to make a two player version of F-zero and wound up with Kart after balancing the technology capabilities and existing character IP.

I was aware Advance Wars is a remake of a Gameboy Advance title but didn't realise the series goes back to 1988:
