The funny thing about people wanting Nintendo to go back to being like they were on SNES, is that all things considered, SNES is Nintendo's worst performing console in terms of Nintendo published software.
Total hardware sales from NES to SNES declined roughly 20% while the sales of Nintendo-published software declined by about 50%.
N64 saw a 33% decline from SNES hardware sales, despite that Nintendo-published software sales grew by about 40%.
GC saw about a 60% decline from SNES hardware sales while Nintendo-published software sales only declined about 30%.
SNES is not the kind of console Nintendo wants or needs on the market, the strength of 3rd parties on SNES had a direct negative effect on Nintendo's own software.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
