Wow just what Nintendo needs another Jump´n Run game.

Its called a plaftformer. Its a genre, and I would rasther see more of those than another miliary shooter.

Nintendo has enough of those. A military shooter from them would bring some diversity

Nintendo doesn't need a military shooter to survive. They are better than that.

Indeed, they survive relying on Mario.

Sorry, Nintendo isnt Microsoft. They need variety, not shooters. I agree Mario is a crutch, but so is Zelda, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Metroid and others spanning various genres. It's not a new genre Nintendo needs, but a new character with a new story suitable for a new generation. They need to brainstorm this long and hard for next gen.

Halo Wars, Fable, Crackdown, Forza, Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, Viva Pinata, Kameo, Kinect Sports, Kinectimals, Joyride, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Splosion Man, ilomilo, Hydro Thunder, Crimson Alliance... any of these games ring any bells? MS also published some notable exclusives like Dance Central, Shadow Complex, Trials, etc.

Perhaps if you thought about it for two seconds, variety is not a problem. NIntendo fans haven't exactly shown they want variety. NO brainstorm required, just more Mario, Donkey Kong, and Zelda. Essentially the same stuff we played throughout the 80s and 90s with few changes.
