Well said. But I don't think Nintendo fans are caring about animeish games, as they seem to love Golden Sun and games like that. But I think it becomes a problem when they start japanesifing their older existing games (due to their western market shrinking and marketing primiarly to japan) Games like Kid Icarus, Metroid, Fire Emblem are a few examples that they really didnt need to japanesify. I loved the comic eques style of metroid, it was so fitting and original, now since Other M it turned into a poor japanese shooter alternative.

Kid Icarus had very little personality in the original games and KI:U gave it more of a saturday morning cartoon vibe than an anime vibe.
Metroid also had very little in the way of story, mostly getting by on atmosphere, and I wouldn't say that the changes made in Other M did much of anything to make it more japanese.

It comes off as a cartoon due to the freedom of translation that NOA was given by Sakurai. KI is still heavily anime inspired by the art direction, setting and tone. Hell he uses a mech in a boss battle.
