Things is, with a serious and/or evil theme/story, hyper realistic graphics might be great for adults (and teens), but might be going too far for kids. Whereas if Nin keeps the graphics stylish and vibrant, it would help to balance things out so as not to be too serious or too scary. The opposite probably wouldn't work well at all, if Nin decided to use hyper realistic graphics but with a silly light hearted theme/story. Having a more serious well told story is more important I'd say, so balancing that with the graphics and gameplay however necessary makes more sense to me.

I don't know if the "hyper realism" is good for adults and teens either, especially when you look what's popular in TV and movies, where everything is full of colourful CGI these days. What used to be dark and gritty in Hollywood, looks today as Pikmin and Super Mario Sunshine did on Gamecube.

I don't mean it's necessary to sell well and succeed for teens and adults, it's just that a dark gritty serious theme with hyper realistic graphics would be an easier sell to them vs kids. The fact that more stylish graphics and fun lighthearted gameplay can also easily be sold to teens and adults, along with kids, would probably make Nin lean that direction, with a more (dark, gritty, serious) well put together theme/story.
