-Make New Ip's that are treated equally as their already existing ip's.  People want more than mario.

-Listen to fans and bring back some of your core games instead of only focusing on mario

-Stop acting like their games are the only ones that matters.  Third Party games are a staple in the industry so listen to them.

-Make equivelent hardware as XBO/PS4

-Stop with the casual focus. Hardcore will stay, casuals wont

-Dont put all your focus on doing platformers all the time.  Gaming has changed a lot since the 90's

-Make a better online network.  Miiverse was a good idea but too heavily controlled and Nintendo still wont take advantage of online.  Just look at NSMB and SUper Mario 3D World.  Two games that could of had good online but they said screw you.

-Actually show up to e3.  THis is where the media is, not Nintendo direct.

-Focus on their message rather than saying Please understand

-Present themselves as people instead of the awkward showing we get at Nintendo Directs.

Now i dont know if Nintendo will ever outsell its competitors or not but these are things that must be done to at least stay competitive.  Just because you dont outsale everything doesnt mean you cant be successful.

Doesn't the Gamecube fulfill a lot of the points you mentioned?

Some points, and no on some other points.

But no not reallly even then.  They had a little more focus on the core with third parties and power but as for many other things no. 

I mean realyl i think the huge issue is Nintendo is becoming irrelevant in todays world.  Kids are of course still playing Mario and all that, but theyre also playing Call of Duty, Halo, and other games like this.  Nintendo's focus on Mario and mainly platformers is hurting them.  Its ok to still have mario and other platformers as big hit franchises but completely disregarding everything else is a little foolish in my opinion.  Where is the diversity?  Saying theyre innovative is one thing but they show very little of this when it comes to creating new franchises.  I mean what has been some big new ip's theyve worked on in the last decade?  Not just for the wiiu but with the wii also.  Wii Sports? Xenoblade? 

Nintendo did a great job at putting themselves in their position by focusing on the family orientation and casuals.  Now they not only have an issue with hardware but they have a perception issue as not having more hardcore games, and theyre to blame for this.  And why would third parties jump ship when they wont help their own console out?

Its like ok im making a console who am i going to appeal to?  Well we want the 2D Mari fans lets make that.  Ok so we did that, but we just made one for 3ds.  Now lets make a 3d mario for those fans, but we also just made one of those for 3ds.  Ok lets make a mario kart that we also just made for 3ds.  Hey lets do a Donkey Kong Country that we just released for 3DS.  Lets release one of our biggest system seller, smash bros but lets release it for 3ds first.  So mr iwata what do we do now?  I think we should make another mario game, we dont have enough of that.

How about a new ip that is completely unlike a nintendo-esque game to appeal to more than just one group of gamers. Maybe focus a little more on bringing completely new stuff like X and Xenoblade rather than focusing on games of yesterday only.  So not only are they excluding genres but theyre also excluding fan favorite franchises.  And hey yeah ill get my zelda at some point or the other but is it enough to get people to buy a console yet again for?
