"It's the job of Nintendo's developers to make the games the market wants. If they don't like it, then they should look for another job. If they think they can do whatever they want, then they will be taught a lesson by the market. If your job is entertainment, then you can only really be satisfied when your audience is satisfied. Your job is not to entertain yourself. And it's called a job, because it is work."
For one thing, the best stage entertainers (as in music stars, comedians, and theater actors), have said that it's not about goofing around. It's about working your ass off and pleasing the crowd.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
