Nope, don't care.
They'd be better off grabbing a third party dev like Silicon Knights and exerting some executive control in order to get a good game, like Eternal Darkness, made.
Like what Other M should have been; that game should have been amazing but they put the wrong director on it.
Nintendo doesn't have the skillset or the design portfolio to put together a game to stack up against the big boys in those genres. It's not going to happen. That's the end of it.

I don't really buy it. They can make great Zelda and Metroid Prime games, they can't go a few notches darker than that? That's all they need to get to. No one's asking for a game filled with boobs and fountains of blood, lol, even Uncharted or GoldenEye levels of grit/violence would be fine.
Also a lot of Nintendo's staff nowadays are old developers from Squaresoft, Namco, Konami, Sega, Capcom, etc. And more are coming because of Nintendo's expanding into a new R&D center next year (a lot more). Retro also has been up-sized it seems and NST is beefing up. The co-creator of Sonic and producer of the first two Uncharted games is at NST now for example.
I think the real issue is Nintendo is afraid to compromise their family friendly image. Maybe with Mr. Miyamoto stepping back next year, other designers might be encouraged to try edgier types of character designs/content.

What in the nose-bleeding Hellchrist does image have to do with it? I'm talking about genre and game design.

There's no one better in the business at game design than Nintendo. Look at studios like Silicon Knights that far and away did their best work under Nintendo and look at the sh*t they did under Microsoft. That's what happens when you lose Nintendo's guidance.
Nintendo knows a good game when they see one. I remember way back in the day before GoldenEye came out, Mr. Miyamoto was talking about it specifically saying the multiplayer was really, really fun, even though that wasn't the type of game he'd create. They know their stuff when it comes to design, inside and out.

Nintendo has long since been surpassed in game design. They are moving along just as fast as technology does. Mostly western companies are pushing that ontop of their engines.
