I think the issue is the centralised Japanese management.
I think NOA and NOE should have a lot more autonomy in their decision making, and also have their own studios/ the ability to fund games themselves.
I would like to see a more realistic IP from Nintendo. Although it should be pointed out that Metroid, Fatal Frame, Zelda, F Zero, Wave Race, and Excite Bike/Truck already fit this bill.
Personally I'd like to see an FPS along the lines of Borderlands/Bulletstorm from Nintendo (I'd even go so far as to suggest they buy the Bulletstorm IP from Epic). They're both quality FPSs that have a different feel to them than your standard brown military shooters and have that Nintendo, 'gameplay is king', mentality to them.
Especially Bulletstorm, that game was FUN.
