Honestly I think this is a very dumb train of though, there are a lot of great Nintendo games that were completely unasked yet they were complete hits (Animal Crossing comes quick to my mind), that's the thing about innovating and risking, even the Wii itself was a complete unasked console and it was certainly not a flop.

Following your logic all games Nintendo make should be always the same, because that's what people is always asking, the same. The same Mario as Mario 64, the same Zelda as Ocarina of time, the same Metroid as Prime, etc etc etc, always the same. And of course a lot of good franchises would not exist because no one asked for them.

To be honest, if we went by his thought years ago, we wouldn't have Wind Waker, Prime, Sunshine, Wii Sports, Wii, DS, Wii Fit, Brain Age, Wario Ware, etc. Nintendo has made a variety of games within certain franchises that don't necessarily follow everything we want and they end up being better than we expected. They are experimenters, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The Wii and DS worked really well and provided unique experiences we may have not have gotten to try. Nintendo gets criticized for making the same game with each installment whether it is Mario or Zelda and not doing something different.

in the end, we can have different opinions about their decisions to take such risks, but in the end, Nintendo has made risks for a long time.

I completely agree.

They have been doing a lot of things wrong lately so I can understand why would Pavolink say that, but when you analize the history of the company, the constant risk, experimentation and the fact they have been making great games (and consoles) that nobody was asking for just to become complete unexpected classics later are actually some of the biggest virtues of the company and some of the reasons why the fans loves them.
