Nintendo continually innovate within the confines of their intellectual property, they innovate with new IP--but they are guilty in some cases, of trading on nostalgia and not doing enough to shake up long-standing series.
Do I think it's as big a problem as GameSpot make out? No--but this question surfaces every year, every console generation, and sometimes it surfaces more visibly than it has before. But would I like to see a new EAD IP with the budget, design quality and marketing budget of a top-tier Nintendo effort? Sure. It's not as simple as one extreme or another.
