Nintendo really needs to be more ambitious with NX titles

That's true. But if Nintendo has managed to keep up both things in a not that distant past... I think they can do it consistently. I mean, they have never really failed combining both things. The closest thing was Metroid Other M, and that was not that much of a faliure. I enjoyed the game a lot.

If you do it correctly, you don't need to sacrifice anything.

 

If you agree that that's true then why do you even care about ambition?

It's true that some developers fall under their own ambition. However, Nintendo, as they have demonstrated in the past, can go with both without any issue.

I care about ambition because it's the thing that separtes a great game from a masterpiece. And I want some masterpiece from time to time. Take the Galaxy example. Man, just got to Buoy Base Galaxy. The music-, the level design, the sense of adventure... as great as 3D World is, it can't touch that. Not even close. And that's the reason I'm replaying Galaxy 9 years after its release and I'll probably play it in 9 more years. I can't say the same for 3D World. It's just not worth it.
