Nintendo is no longer lazy, like IGN said so.

I don't think that's the case.

Not all Nintendo games are AAA, big budget games that are expected to sell 5+ million copies. There are some games they are willing to release, without the big budget, hoping they find their niche or perhaps become a breakout hit. When it comes to their big franchises, they never have and never will mess around. The Mario Galaxy 2 music from E3 was undoubtedly placeholder music, as finalising music is something that can safely be done relatively late in the game's development cycle. They had orchestrated music in the first, why wouldn't they have it in the sequel?

I certainly think the delay of Metroid Other M was related to putting a little more space between Nintendo's core releases, or perhaps to add some polish but I doubt it was in reponse the media feedback or IGN's accusations of laziness.
