I want them to drop both and just make a console with no gimmicks and up to date hardware for the first time in 14 years

14 years includes gamecube which was > ps2 by a long shot. I don;t kwnow hy you guys consider them gimmicks and want them to do what the others do. I'm sorry but 3 consoles that play exactly the same are a waste of time. Yes they could use the power but keep the pad and keep the 3d. What's the point of improving on 3d just to drop it 2 years later? Its going to be backwards compatible which means 3d will stay same with the pad. Tell me this. What advantage does dropping the pad and 3d give? and if you say hardware boost I'll just point out that gamecube didn't get much support either even though it had power.

When I said 14 years I meant that was the last gimmick-less console they released, but let me tell you why dropping the pad next console would be a good idea

Gamecube's problem wasn't its hardware 

It was the marketing

Seriously, as much as I love it to death, it basically looked like a purple lunch box, scaring off most hardcore gamers

Leaving the only people buying the GC are the loyal Nintendo fans, which means the third party games sold horribly, and all the big sellers were pretty much only Nintendo games

That is why it did not get a lot of third party support

Wii U also has the marketing crisis, but for Wii U the main issue is the hardware

If it was on par with XB1 and PS4 and just as easily to develop for, I guarantee you Wii U would have just as good third party support (Also if it had a different name)

You clearly have no idea how 3rd party and nintendo work. Nintendo does not pay third party developers to make games for them or for extra features so their games skip nintendo consoles. This was started by microsoft and sony and has been screwing with the industry for a while. Why would they go to making games for nintendo when they can get cash to make it for the other which doesn't have the stigma of 3rd partys do not sell on nintendo. Traditonal console or more powerful hardware will not help nintendo in anyway. The only thing they need to work on is marketting.
