Should Nintendo try out Sega's Genesis strategy?

Nintendo will never use that reserve cash unless they are in extreme panic mode. And by extreme I mean close to bankruptcy or something similar to that, and that won't happen in a very long time.

they got like a few billion on the bank. It ain't gonna hurt if they use a few million of it for new IP's. Done right they can even make money of it

They obviously aren't keeping all that money in the bank, some of that if being use for something. But giving the current state of AAA gaming, a "few millions" will only make the cut for one or two new quality IPs (which they don't know if they will be successful or not). Plus if that money is used, games like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc will be the priority.

Quick question: would an HD metroid that sold 2 millions be profitable if it was an HD equalient to Metroid Prime?
