Modern Nintendo seems happy to let other developers make darker games for their systems, (Bayonetta 2, Fatal Frame) but stops short of making them themselves, with the exception of the Xenoblade games, which I think they still view as "external" cos even though Monolith is now a first party studio, they only became so relatively recently.

Nintendo these days seems too afraid of taking risks with their software to go all-out on a modern Metroid they way they did with Prime.

How does Nintendo seem too afraid to take risks?

An example would be Fed Force's direction. If they wanted to take a strong risk, in a direction that people would agree more. They'd use Halo's elements, as a basis. Not Fed chibi. Which is something Nintendo is more confortable to do. Weather it makes sense for Metroid, or not.

They're thinking was probably: MOM sold poor/slow. No one likes movie story telling. Avoiding the key reasons why people hated it. Kind of the flipped problem the Stargate series had. The show was a mix of drama and comedy. They see numbers are dropping, from the first two shows. Let's only do drama. And so, the 3rd series tanked.

Nintendo decides to go in a more cute direction. To get extra sales in another demographic. And were also thinking, we'd like Chibi stuff too. And that won't bother use. There was those photos of design ideas, that were in the normal style the serres does. But they never picked those. So they out right wanted to go in the chibi way, to begin with.
