Would Nintendo make a more challenging Elder Scrolls game?

Inspired by this post.

From what I've played this also applies to Nintendo's more recent games as well.

So here is the scenario, if Bethesda went out of business and Nintendo bought the Elder Scrolls franchise and made the next game, do you think it would be made more challenging, puzzle wise at least?

Something else to consider is that since Nintendo's best known games are either geared for a younger audience, or intended to be played as a family, would be even if the puzzles and game mechanics are made more challenging, would the story be made simpler and less complex? Though from what I remember "Twilight Princess" was pretty dark, for a Zelda game anyway.

Over all, do you think an Elder Scrolls game made by Nintendo would, on average, be an improvement over Skyrim?

I can't see Nintendo getting ahold of the TES IP... its just not their type of game..

Activision, Ubisoft, Bioware, etc. would be more likely to pick up the IP..


not that it matters, I don't see Bethesda filing for a Chapter 7 anytime soon...

Of course, but that is beside the point. It is a hypothetical situation. I'm not saying it is at all likely. I'm just saying what would you think if it somehow, however unlikely, did happen? You need to suspend your disbelief.
