Never forget the GC, which aside from looking like a lunchbox was a powerhouse and had lots of 3rd party support yet sold like crap. It feels like Nintendo will never get their street cred back no matter what they do, so they might as well go with themselves instead of trying to please a mindless audience that just wants to play rehashes remasters of games in so-called cutting edge almighty consoles. I don't want a Nintendo Xbox, I'm sure nobody else does.


The GCN used minidiscs, which had a huge impact on its 3rd party support. It only had "lots of 3rd party support" compared to current Nintendo systems. You know which console sold more? The one with better 3rd party support because it actually used real DVDs.

The last time Nintendo had a system with real effort in supporting 3rd parties was with the SNES. Every system since has done something to disregard them from N64 karts, GCN minidiscs, Wii motion controls and power, and the Wii Us power and PPC.

The only ones damaging Nintendo's "street cred" is Nintendo.
