They should simply admit they made a mistake with the gamepad and allocated their resources in a terrible way. There's a budget for Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 but the next Mario game looks lame and they seem to have abandoned Wii Sports. How amazingly clever of them.

If Iwata was the CEO of Apple they'd drop the iPhone and go back to making the Newton because... well, who knows why? Iwata is simply insane. It was not the mass market that abandoned Nintendo, it was Nintendo who abandoned their customers. They should've focused on broadening the market, instead they're working really hard to figure out ways to repel even more people. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. People call the Xbone "Xbox 180" but it really is Nintendo who did a 180 here. And I'm slowly getting sick and tired of it. They won't even let me properly play Pikmin 3 with the Wii remote - you need the gamepad to access the map and there's a "look at the gamepad" message on screen every five seconds. Nintendo is in total denial. I'm just waiting for them to actually announce the next Wii Sports... and force the gamepad into it, blowing up their biggest franchise.
