Retro is extremely talented. What this reveals is that Nintendo needs to allow their best Western studio (and one of their best in general) have freedom to make a western style game. Splatoon proves that genres that are popular out here that Nintendo hasn't done before, with a Nintendo flavor added to them, can both do well out here and in Japan. Xenoblade X and Splatoon should show Nintendo that they should embrace genres that they haven't paid much attention to in the past. There is money to be made!
