Bold: Metroid Prime trilogy? Xenoblade Chronicles and X? Retro and Monolith are part of Nintendo now, so even if those games are not made by EAD, they are still Nintendo productions.
Italic: Couldn't disagree more. From the conceptual brilliance of its gravity mechanics and abstract level design, to graphics that managed to wow gamers even on underpowered hardware, Galaxy was very ambitious and has lost none of its excellence in my view.
There's more to ambition than just large game worlds.
I would agree with you to an extent; that Nintendo has played it far too safe this generation, where their only really ambitious game so far is Xenoblade X, but they have still produced some ambitious titles since the N64.
