Overall was it a good idea or a bad one?

Take into account what they've done with the character. Really nothing. I understand they wanted to pair him with Mario & that was great & all but why little to no focus on building the character as a stand alone. I mean the hedgehog carried Sega on its pointy back for years. I'd utilize the character a bit more.
 
Was Nintendo in charge of Sonic's recent design change?

Yeah you would think they do more but sadly they focus too much on their money maker Mario to give much attention to others.
 
You do realize that the games are still being developed by Sega and Sonic Team, right? Nintendo is not developing these games, they just purchased the rights to be the only console to carry them. It's not nintendo's fault they suck (if you feel they do, I personally have only played sonic 1-3 on genesis, knuckles chaotix (32x), sonic cd (segacd), and the sonic adventure series on dreamcast. So I cant comment on the quality of the games. Just rest assured whatever "mistakes" are being made are happening due to Sonic Team, not Nintendo :)
