Will the potential of Splatoon and Mario Maker be let down by marketing?

Nintendo's powerful brands are all that's keeping them afloat, if they dilute their appeal through overuse, they're fucked.

If Mario Party and Mario and Sonic at the Olympics didn't hurt the brand, nothing will.

If every major game gets support for Nintendo's stable of characters through amiibo, their franchises will blend together into a homogenous mush. The won't have as much individuality any more. They're already seen as "the guys who just milk Mario and Zelda", they need to change that perception, not add to it.

Said by people who will never buy a Nintendo console. The Mario amiibo support for splatoon makes sense. It wouldn't make sense in let's say Pokkén Tournament (Tekken cameos on the other hand) or Metroid (besides stickers in MP3).
Did anyone complain about the Metroid cameo in DK: TF? People love that shit. Cameos won't make DK blend with Metroid lol.
