If you think that the GameCube was a marvellous time to be a Nintendo fan, then you've clearly created an alternative reality for yourself. It's also clearly indicated that you are unwilling to change your view of the world, because you are putting Super Meat Boy and New Super Mario Bros. U on the same level. There is simply no balance there. Everything of the good ol' days will be played up while everything of the present will be played down. That's why you perceive a huge difference. Come on, there was no equality in terms of other third party support, because the PS2 received an avalanche of exclusives.

I conceded that the first nine months were better for the GameCube, but pointed out that the Wii U will have at least tied the GC by the time of the second christmas (a timeframe that favors the GC).

"In my mind Nintendo has fallen from a company that's willing to stand its ground and compete directly with the opposition whilst doing the creative things that sets it apart, (...)"

The reality is that Nintendo failed to set themselves apart with the GC, because many of their first party games received a lukewarm reception.

As for your suggestions how Nintendo can fix their problems, they are pretty bad. You are just going by your personal desires, but it doesn't work that way. Remember, you think the GC was awesome, but it didn't sell.

I do live in an alternate reality when it comes to the GC. You're right.

I guess they'll never, ever be the company that will make spend all my money again. Such a shame.
