This. It would also help if Nintendo decides to change their approanch and releases more mature games like a gritty Metroid Prime or a new Eternal Darkness. Remember when N64 were the console to play shooters. Nintendo can appeal to those player as well as nintendo fan base.


Idk, in theory that sounds great but we already saw such a plan with GameCube and that didn't work too well. It was powerful, affordable, had  a standard controller, strong western support (EA/Ubisoft/Activison/Warner Bros/Midway/Acclaim/Atari/Eidos), Resident Evil exclusivity, return or Japanese devs that primarily ignored N64 (Namco/Square-Enix/Capcom/Konami), along with the introduction of games u just referenced like Metorid Prime & Eternal Darkness.

GameCube is the closest thing to what u describe that we have seen and it did rather poor even with being $99 for the majority of its life. To me, that's a pretty good indication that Nintendo should not strive to be like the others and instead needs to offer new things to differentiate from the competition like NES/Wii.

you're being silly. gamecube came 1 year after the ps2, wich was already a success because of dvd playing. besides, although the third party support for gamecube wasn't bad, it was still far from ps2, wich got tons of exclusives of franchises that are now all multiplatform. one can't compete with that.
