I think it'd be a brilliant idea. There are some indie developers that could work with some Nintendo franchises.
F-Zero by Shin'en
2D Metroid by Image & Form
Animal Crossing by ConcernedApe
The main problem is that indie developers usually lacks the man-power to do that. And we have to ask ourselves if they're willing to be supervised by Nintendo and expand that man-power.
I wonder, wasn't that what happened with Retro games? First game was Metroid Prime. Look how that game turned out to be. A masterpiece.
