Nintendo should've just signed a life time contract with the James Bond production company (EON) after the huge success of GoldenEye. That character is perfect and he's always "fun" but still appeals in a huge way to teenagers/adults as he's the iconic alpha male. 

And parents will shrug aside any/all violence and sexual inneundos from Bond because they grew up with Bond too so it's not something alien to them. 

He was really the perfect fit for the Nintendo brand of being cool/bad ass but not so far that it was like going from Mario to hyper-violent M-rated stuff like Devil's Third that just doesn't work for Nintendo. 

That being said, there is something to be noted about Nintendo's branding a video game company synonimous with video games. While I think that they would benefit from IP that were on other media first like with James Bond, there's something lost when licensed games enter the mix. I felt that way about the Lego game.

This is honestly just personal preference, but I think it's much more authentic to their brand to keep their exclusive IP specifically video gaming IP as opposed to licenced IP.

Now I want Nintendo to make a new IP based on espionage, to se what they can come up with.
