Is Nintendo even able or willing to surprise anymore?

Nintendo seems to be out of ideas, reflected in both their games and the consoles themselves. 

Hmm, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Dillon's Rolling Western, Pullblox - out of new ideas?

Kid Icarus...how is this original?
Dillion's Rolling Western....how is that original or new? Guessing you haven't played Orcs Must Die?
Pullblox...another kid focused platformer. How un-Nintendo...

It's the same as ever with Nintendo. Japanese/kid-orientated games. The last Nintendo console that wasn't focused on such games was the N64, and yet to see something ground breaking from them. Where is their Gears of War, their Heavy Rain? SotC? DMC? They haven't done anything radical since SM:Galaxy.

Wait a minute.. what?

He gave you Dillon's Rolling Western, which you dimiss as an Orcs Must Die clone. Then you turn around and ask where Nintendo's clones of other established franchises are. What exactly do you want from them? You do know that just because it doesn't appeal to you, doesn't mean its not "new" to them.
