I wonder if you are confusing "bold" for the fact that 3D polygonal games were a new thing in the N64 generation? Was it "bold" of them to jump from 2D to 3D? Sure. But it was also "bold" of them to attempt motion controls, or to try crazy game design ideas like Mario Galaxy or Skyward Sword. Not everything they experiement with is a smashing success. But I don't think Nintendo "lacks ambition". If you're referring to things like their New Super Mario Bros. series, I guess I could see how you're claiming that is "playing it safe" by being a throwback to old games. But honestly they had some of their most daring and risky attempts on Wii, with Galaxy, with Wii Sports, Wii Fit, etc.
Call me optimistic, but I think you'll see some "bold" games from Nintendo before all is said and done with Wii U.
