Have you looked at their financials? They need to start making money.
If anything Nintendo is pretty reserved with their character IP. Why does Sonic, which is now a D-tier franchise ... why does Sonic have an animated TV show whereas Mario does not?
Amiibo is them finally actually branching out and bringing a lot of their wider character IP in some other form than just video games that come out once in a while.

Yes, they need to start making money and thats not been going so well lately. Quality titles like MK8, SSBU, ZeldaU and DKC:TF will get them alot of money. Not by lending out their characters to mediocre games and developers. People get sick of them. The quality goes down.

Which of those games is mediocre though, really? Bayonetta 1/2 is the best game on the Wii U arguably. Monster Hunter 4 is a good game, and a very important IP for Nintendo. Keeping that IP tied to Nintendo platforms IS important to Nintendo, securing MH exclusivity is probably the smartest thing Iwata has done in 5 years. I don't see the issue. Mario & Sonic ... ok, but is that really any "lower quality" than the average Mario Party game?
Hyrule Warriors is pretty awesome actually.
