What Nintendo needs to do if they want to be like Hollywood is put out better trailers for their games. 

They need to hire the people that brought you the Top Gun trailer.  Now Top Gun might not have been The Godfather, but man that trailer kicked all kinds of butt.

Or Sony's people. They made Heavy Rain not look boring and pretentious.

Wow. You better watch out, you better not cry, you better run away and I'm telling you why, CGI is coming to town. 

OT: I want to add more to my original post. Hollywood produces plenty of new ideas, they also take old ideas and put new twists on them and they usually work out really well. The Dark Knight and Batman Returns are both Batman movies, but they are completely different movie experiences. No industry output as creative or continously evolving as video games or movies can remain the same, new ideas have to be constantly brought it and worked on, otherwise people will get bored.

If Nintendo just sticks to all their old ideas, then they are going to lose their appeal. Nintendo pandered to the casual market this generation, they now have a strong casual userbase and they can now work on that audience, but they now have to try and attract the other large userbase and to do that, they're going to have to introduce new and different ideas.

The other side doesn't seem to crave originality that much either. Make a nice, brown/grey macho FPS/TPS and maybe a solid racing sim or two and you'll have as much of that market as you can have with everyone else doing that as well...

Which is merely to say that no segment of the market seems to value fundamentally new ideas. B/G FPSes would be a new idea to Nintendo, but not to the industry at large, which seems to be in a race to copy each other all over the place, much like the film industry
