Not looking good. 

Well there was a hope that maybe they could salvage this like the N64 to some extent, but it doesn't seem possible at this point. 

Nintendo's probably done for in the traditional console space, they will expand out into other business ventures going forward and just have mainly a handheld centric hardware focus from here on out. Console's look like a dead end now. 

The Wii U failure only means that the N64/GC software direction/sucking up to third parties route is done for. But you'd rather see Nintendo crumble as a whole instead of admitting that what you want has no future.

I don't really care what the approach is, I just like Nintendo games. To be honest the SNES/N64/GCN/Wii/Wii U are not really that different in terms of Nintendo's own support, they have mostly the same IP and they're usually all of similar (high quality). 

But I don't see them making another traditional console ... there is no market left for them is MS/Sony claim all the hardcore market and Apple/Android eats away all the casual/entry level gamers. There's simply nothing left for Nintendo. 

Nintendo has never "sucked up" to third parties, like ever, either, lol, I don't know why you push that narrative like it has any basis in reality. The last system they made that was probably fairly acceptable to third parties was the Super NES, 20+ years ago and that was before third parties had Sony and MS as alternatives. How in the world was the N64 "sucking up to third parties"? How old were you even when the N64 came out?
