While Nintendo do cater to the fans with sequels to their many ip's, the ultimate philosophy of Nintendo is no to give you what you want but to give you what you didn't know you want! You really have to think about it, it's really a great way of approaching game development.
On the other hand, in the last few years they don't have a good hand with this philosophy for the Western audience. They really need Western developers to cater to the Western taste. Let them do their thing without much involvment of HQ.
Back in the days of NES and Super NES, the taste between Japan and the West was not that much different. Even the JRPG's were loved by the Western audience, something the Japanese HQ's (not just Nintendo) never got and unfortunately many brilliant JRPG's never made it to the West (even less to Europe) . But now, the situation has changed, there is a big difference between Japanese taste and Western taste. Therefore, every big gaming company needs a Western development team to be globally recognised.
