A bit convoluted, your text, and overuse of message board slang like "scum", which makes any reasonable post look childish.

Anyway, here's my stance: I prefer big, ambitious, classical first party games. Always did, still do. Didn't care for the "Wii something" titles in the minigame era, don't care for Amiibo today. As long as Nintendo provides ambitious 3D Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, F-Zero, Metroid, ... I am happy with the respective console. Wii generation was a good one, because it had a sufficient number of these. Wii U generation, less so.

And I try to be objective: That I don't like Bayonetta, Xeno X or Splatoon is my own problem. But that Nintendo assigned many games to B-grade teams (Yoshi's Woolly World, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Hyrule Warriors) or compromised A-grade efforts (Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros U) is theirs. As it stands, I've sold all Wii U games but two, Mario Kart 8 and Mario Maker. Kart being the only GREAT one for me.

So after playing & loving all Nintendo consoles starting with the NES, this is the first time I feel seriously out of sync with their output - and the fanbase as well. I read Neogaf and people seem more concerned with user account systems and collectible figurines and online matchmaking and costumes than games. I don't get it anymore. I'm merely hoping that all this is in preparation of a huge AAA blowout on the NX.
