This could be terrible or great. It depends on the buyer. Nintendo may not be the best. They may turn Street Fighter 5 into Street Fighter Baby Brawl! Street Fighter VS Nintendogs! Megaman in Happyland! I shudder to think. |
I think spemanig signature fits quite well:
"Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence." - C.S. Lewis
I would advise you to grow out of cliché.

That's all good and dandy until you realize that it goes both ways. Look at all the comments about mature games being all about gray games with boobs and violence. There is an entire thread full of them (that was locked).I don't see anyone who brings up Lewis' great point also call out people who are close minded about 18+ only games.
Just like playing mario games doesn't mean one hasn't grown up, playing fps games on ps/xb consoles doesn't make someone a grown up wannabe. The same people who criticize critics and gamers for calling ninty games "kiddie", shit talk fps games for their "adult only" feautures.
So, this is actually a legitimate concern for people who like darker games (and there is nothing wrong with dark games). What if Ninty does acquire the rights to Capcom's IP's and decides to put their own spin to the franchises? What if they take a different direction to appeal to the people interested in Ninty consoles? With either MS or Sony the franchises are more likely to remain true to what they've been so far.

What you're saying would be much more valid if Metroid wasn't reliably more 'dark' and contemplative than alot of Capcom's own games. Nintendo don't object to darker tones, and they've made several games that have them. Its true that Nintendo has its own design sensibilities, but if you think they limit what trusted devs can do you should play Metroid Prime or Conker's Bad Fur Day or Bayonetta or Fatal Frame or Eternal Darkness.
Far more importantly is the fact Nintendo are the only ones reliably pushing five-star platformers, and they need another strong shooter to go with the Prime series and Splatoon. Megaman would be a damn good fit for them and blur the line between their best genre and the one they're often accused for being 'out of touch' because of their lack of interest in.
But even more importantly for gamers of what seems to be your tastes is the fact the Resident Evil's and Fatal Frame's dev teams getting to work together to help each other's games could result in some of the best horror games of all time. - A similiar effect could happen for the Okami series (Okami Saisei maybe) if it got to be contrasted with the designs of EAD for Zelda (not to mention that game needs to be on Wii-U immediately).
As for Street-Fighter and it would certainly be a good-addition to Nintendo's staple of multiplayer games so I doubt they'd mess with it; besides its as different to Smash as Smash is to Mario Kart, and put alongside Splatoon we might be looking at the best console for multiplayer since the N64 itself. Also it'd be good to see Nintendo push some tasteful new mechanics and boil down the releases to one masterful one per console!
Not to mention how much Nintendo clearly value Monster-Hunter. You can't honestly tell me you think they'd risk messing around with that games fanbase.
Besides both need to keep Ace Attorney on Nintendo, it simply wouldn't survive outside of the unique atmosphere of Nintendo consoles and it is one of the few third-party games that manages to be a true system seller for Nintendo. - Capcom have proven they are damn good at living and breathing in Nintendo's unique world, and Nintendo have repeatedly shown themselves to be especially welcoming to Capcom in recent years.
