Nintendo is completely out of touch with reality.

This discussion is borderline retarded. Nintendo is the only company out there doing what they do right now. Everyone else is doing games so similar that they all fill the same exact niches on the other two consoles where talking heads argue over which one displays more anti-aliased blood splatter and at what resolution.

Let's complain more about Donkey Kong and get back to arguing whether Call of Duty: Ghosts, Killzone or Battlefield 4 has the most realistic bullet holes.

Although in parts I agree with you in other aspects of your post is just as clueless as Nintendo. Everyone else's home console is in demand and vastly outselling Nintendo's. That's the reality. That's the fact. 

Whats the point of "being the only one doing what they do right now" if no one gives a shit and don't buy the console? How do you make money?

The whole idea is to promote the wii u and create sales. Donkey kong is not going to sell consoles, nor is it going to entice anyone watching VGX to buy one. In all honesty it probably did the opposite.

That presentation was better shown on Nintendo Direct. It was horrible. The way the presenter just look blankly at Reggie and asked "is that it? Nothing else" sums it up. It was the wrong clothes at the wrong event. Something in Reggie's attitude makes me think he knows this.

Negativity surrounding the wii u is part of the reason it's sales are so poor. I am not saying this presentation did the wii u any harm but I don't see how it could have done it any good.

Great to see Nintendo fans saying what they think instead of blindly following and never condemning the company like others do.

Nintendo isn't going to get anywhere by trying to out PS4 or XboxOne those respective consoles. They stand a much better chance at being different than by being the same.

Apple has been the perfect example of this with their Mac sales. In fact if Nintendo were really smart they would do a series of commercials like the Mac vs. PC commercials where they acknowledge the strengths of their competitors but then show why they are an important purchase as well.
