Are they so obsessed with ""surprising"" us with ""new things"" when Hollywood doesn't even bother to do this?

If you haven't noticed, the majority of releases in the cinema have being remakes, sequels or very late sequels to older movies, even remaking comic books, pop culture, cartoons, books, TV shows, into movies which has being done since the silver age of cinema.  3D movies has being around so long since the 1950's.

The highest grossing movie Avatar (well gone with the wind can be argued also), really doesn't do anything new which it gets compared to movies like Dances with Wolves.  Hollywood obviously gives what its audience what it wants, familiarity.  Which is why we always see usually the same actors in a lot of films and  films that still stick to the oldest formulas of protagonist, antagonist, love interest formula not only bankroll but go on to win Oscars.

Why doesn't Nintendo learn from Hollywood and give people what there familiar with in video games or there franchises?  Instead of trying to ""surprise"" us and just make games we are willing to pay for?  Isnt it there job to sell as many videogames as physically possible instead of ""surprising"" us? 

I am not sure if there is one line of your post that is true:
* Nintendo has not said they want to be like Hollywood
* The 3D tech we use today is VERY different from the old technology which revolves around red and blue light
* Avatar does LOTS of things that not only did Dances with Wolves not do, but no movie has done; including but not limited to: realistic 3D models, animation by WETA to the flora and fauna which utilized some of the most powerful computers in existence,  shots that had over 90 cameras on the set, and utilized the most advanced motion capture technology to date; http://www.junauza.com/2010/01/technology-behind-avatar-movie.html
* Late sequels? What do you mean by that? Sequels to movies range in time of release.
* Adaptations is not a bad thing, all films are adapated from a screenplay of some sort.
* If Hollywood didn't surprise and impress, Avatar wouldn't have made 2.7 billion.
