Been gaming since Atari. In my opinion Nintendo's games are just as good as they used to be and in some cased much better.
The hardware, on the other hand, isn't always so great.
The NES was a graphical powerhouse of it's day and so was the SNES.
The N64 made the mistake of not using optical media.
The GameCube was great, but underutilized.
The Wii wasn't HD and it had mandatory motion controls that I still don't like.
The Wii U will still use motion controls and now it has a giant screen I don't want to use.
All I want from Nintendo is great Mario, Zelda, and Metroid games with standard controls. That's the difference between Nintendo of old and Nintendo of today. Unfortunately today's Nintendo thinks we all want to swing and swipe and touch and flail. I and many others don't.
