Well they have certainly learned not to let dominating 3/4 of a generation go to their head.

"More VC support" remains to be seen. They already promised N64 and GC games a long time ago. Still, they spend time porting old NES games that nobody cares about.

It's not nice to call NES fans "nobodies".

Good job too; Iwata would have been gone long before anyone was demanding his head on a stick.

From a gamer POV not even close. They are still a far more insular Japanese company than Nintendo was even in the 1990s, when Yamauchi gave NOA far more authority to do things like go ahead and make say ... GoldenEye.

Today, Retro Studios would probably be laughed out of Nintendo's offices if they dared to ask to work on some off the wall project not based on a pre-existed Nintendo Japanese IP.

It's not like Bond wasn't a preexisting and extremly popular IP before Rare had the chance to work on GoldenEye.  Just because an IP exists already doesn't mean Retro wouldn't be able to make it their own either.  I think the Metroid universe is a good place for Retro to flex it's creative muscles and do things that an internal Nintendo studio couldn't do.
