Nintendo are an industry unto themselves-even with declining sales this year.

I doubt they care about winning over the gaming media. But it would be nice to see Nintendo's first party titles get the recognition they deserve. I have no doubt this'll be the case for the titles you've mentioned. The gaming media don't have a problem with Nintendo's 'core' titles. They just have a problem with the more mainstream Nintendo games, like NSMB Wii or Wii Sports Resort. There's also the perpetuation of the "Nintendo abandoning the core" story that helps online gaming sites generate hits.
