Given how much money they have made and make over the years, I honestly hope that they can expand their teams to have new B and C tiered teams to make experimental titles that could or could not be breakout hits.
Intelligent Systems were once an assistant development team, and who is to say that their other studios cannot have a breakout hit and expand like those guys and Monolith Soft?
Nintendo have the money to expand such teams, and hell...even pay external Publishers to have a dedicated Team to make only games on Nintendo (like HAL). I am sure the likes of SEGA/Capcom/Namco would love to have a dedicated team working on Nintendo's console exclusively if Nintendo gave them some money to establish one. Nintendo publishes these games as an incentive so the risk is mostly on Nintendo and they get a unique IP in their library, happy days! (with a disclaimer that said games cannot go on Playstation/Xbox) It would be better than paying exclusivity for certain games in the long term.
Nintendo honestly don't need to have droughts in their System at this point and continue to grow and expand their Library to create a great Library of games without even needing to rely on the biggest third parties at this point!
As the saying goes "You build it and they will come". Nintendo does a lot of things right, but they do seem to suffer from droughts when they have the potential to release game after game every 2 months with their biggest teams, middle teams with IPs their niche loves and smaller games from Third Parties they give incentives to. Hell, why not just have IntiCreates in your portfolio as they seem to love making games on your system and give them an expansion to create more games?
A pipe-dream, I know but Nintendo tends to make great IPs and end up not rotating as much as we hope for (at least in regards to franchises that were once loved but end up being dormant).
