Here's the deal. Nintendo STILL makes the best games in the industry. There is no question there as far as I'm concerned. But the thing is, time has past them by. Actually, time past them up during the Genesis era. Sega of America managed to change gaming and push it into a more mature area and away from kids. Sony then took that to a whole other level and then Microsoft innovated the online arena. Every single change, every single shift, Nintendo for the most part stood still. They stood by, arms crossed, defiantly standing their ground... insisting that people would understand in time. They thought they could let progress happen without joining it.
They were wrong.
Progress stops for nobody. Their games are brilliant, but tastes are ever evolving. Mario hasn't been the "it" game since the 80's... or to be acurate... 1990 (SMB3). Most die hard Nintendo fans are in their 20's and 30's now... even 40's. Kids don't (and by saying this, I'm talking majority here) care about Nintendo anymore. Steve is now the new Mario for them.
If Nintendo wants to get back to where they were, even during the N64 years, they're going to have to offer 50/50 software. Half of it can be those amazingly magical games of theirs, and half of it has to be something like 007. They need to be known as a company that offers mature, adult themes and great indie stuff like No Man's Sky. They have to EVOLVE with the rest of the population and change. If they don't, they will slowly fade away.
