It wasn’t even a bad system, just marketed terribly.

This is one of the dumber decisions Nintendo has made, and they put out the Wii U.

I would dispute the claim it wasn’t a bad system.
The gamepad as a mandatory component really gimped it hard.

Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.

Nintendo was never ran by gamers.

You’re thinking iwata, but that was a brief blip on Nintendo history. The OG CEO was a straight up suit. The man had no interest in videogames, only business. Which is why they practically had a monopoly over their hardware in the 80s and 90s.

The OG CEO is from the 1800s so yeah. And yes I’m thinking of Iwata. And look at what was produced during his tenure. That’s the Nintendo everyone is nostalgic about nowadays. 1989 Nintendo was a corporation throwing spaghetti at the wall, 2000’s Nintendo was streamlining the end gamer experience, 2020’s Nintendo is looking for an easy paycheck.
