Like already wrote, they need more mature games, new projects and third party exlusives, they done great job with Bayonetta 2, Fatal Frame V, Xenoblade X, even with Devils Third despite game is garbage, but we need much more of that, we also need something new, Retro needs to make something similar to Uncharted or TLoU, we need new Metroid Prime, some exclusive Resident Evil would be great again...we need all that, but Nintendo don't need to change in any way already great games that are still on of the best games in industry and that are still very popular with great sales. Also they need third party support, but they realised that itself because they saw they cant support one console itself.

See now we're on the same wavelength. I completely agree with the bolded.

Oh please, no. This is the last thing they should do. Nintendo needs to offer a game experience that is different from their competitors. I welcome new IPs or reboots but the day they start to mimick other 1st party studios and look for what is trending at the moment -like any other 3rd party company- is the day they really have no more reason to exist as a console maker.

They tried that with Wii U, it doesn't work. Mainstream gamers don't want "different". If they did, Wii U's sales wouldn't be so dismal.

Of course you can't just make something unconvetional and hope for it to succeed. Offering something different means, looking at the market and evalute if there's an hidden or unserved demand by competitors. You'll need to look at the market in a diffrernt way and serve it in a different way. They did so when they developed Wii and DS, and also when they developed the Gameboy in the first place. How much is the WiiU really "different"? its pretty much a standard console with a screen attached to it, you leave it (and use the pro controller) and you have a regular console.
Also, I was specifically referring to games, 1st party games will always remain their main differentiating factor from Sony and MS, you leave that and you are left with an empty shell. The fact Nintendo makes "Nintendo games" and not "mainstream mature games" is the only reason why the 3DS still managed to sell 60m units instead of 10 like PsVita and with a clearly inferior hardware.
