Hmm, I don`t think I can agree with your post or with your reasons behind your claim. If I`m not mistaken, your claim is that Nintendo is afraid to take risks out of fear, but I don`t think that is the case. In fact, Nintendo has taken big risks, especially with the Wii and Wii U. They took what was the standard and went for a new direction, which people doubted and claimed they would fail, but the Wii succeeded, while the Wii U failed. Both of those were huge risks that they took. So I wouldn`t say they`re afraid of taking risks. They`re doing the opposite, actually, which could be more so with the NX. They also took risks with funding Bayonetta 2 and producing Wonderful 101 as well as Splatoon, a game no other company would fund and new IPs. Ninten is also quite active with audiences outside of Japan, taking part in events like E3 and meeting with youtubers around the US.
I don`t think Inafune`s points fits well with Nintendo. Also, Nintendo cutting online features for games like Splatoon was likely a call to make a good experience for everyone, and allow a new IP to be a success, and Smash`s ranking system, well, Sakurai wanted to do something different.
Dance my pretties!
