I believe many people have made that point over the years but Nintendo was at its best while it was struggling, especially during the GameCube era when they actually tried new things instead of redoing the same stuff over and over again.

Their current leadership being a bunch of faceless economists doesn't help either.

    No, no, believe me, as many people here I played with Nintendo consoles a good part of their childhood's, even though I couldn't play with the GameCube because I wasn't born, I mainly enjoyed the Wii / Nintendo DS era.

    They really knew how to create permanent memories, but I think the "playing with your family" part was the best with Nintendo, with games like Wii Sports.

    But currently I think is the decaying state of the console companies that make now this more like "choose the best among the worst", and Nintendo in my opinion is easily the worst of all.

    The Wii was the best example of what I meant by them trying out something new, being the follow-up to the GameCube's poor sales, same with the DS.

    They knew at the time they had to come up with something new and unique to capture the market.
