Nintendo doesn't need more boring western devs. They need even more awesome Japanese devs.

What's wrong with having both? 

Nothing. But what they need is japanesey games because that's what Nintendo are famous for. Nintendo should focus on games that make them speical. 

I'm sure some western devs are capable of making great Nintendo games too, given the chance, but the suggestion people make, that Nintendo needs more western devs, indicated that they think Nintendo should be making games that are more like xbox games. Games like that won't sell that well on a Nintendo console and they won't win over xbox gamers who already have lots of games like that. Nintendo does need a range of games, but they do need to be Nintendoy.
