Everyone's entitled to spend their hard earned money how they see fit. If 5-6 good/great games a year is not enough for a person like Curl to justify buying hardware for ... then a divorce with Nintendo was pretty much inevitable at some point.

They simply don't have the third party support to have that robust of a library and Nintendo themselves can only produce so many quality games at a time.

But lets be real ... it's been like this for Nintendo consoles since the SNES era ended ... that's been like 20 years now, so it's not like this is some surprising thing. The N64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U all had dry periods and poor developer support, that's four straight generations.

Nintendo consoles can provide a lot of fun if you like Nintendo IP, but they're definitely not for everyone, especially if you need a large variety of games and/or are unwilling to buy a Playstation/XBox/gaming PC to offset what's lacking on Nintendo consoles.


N64 and Gamecube did have dry spells but at least it wasn't just shovelware support.

It had enough 3rd party + first party games to still satisfy enough hardcore fans.

Wii and Wii U

is missing 3rd party + rare games from that era + retro made DK instead of something to push them. big gaps here.

Nintendo is in such poor condition noow that the hardcore Nintendo fan can't take it anymore lol.

Only problem that I see for Nintendo fans are all this small projects, ports and spin offs without any new big game, but I totally understand that if NX is launching next year because they clearly working on NX games.
