Has there ever been a worse time to be a Nintendo fan?

I guess these days are pretty grim, but weren't the twilight year(s) of the N64 & GameCube pretty horrible too? Even though Wii U is going to have a pretty barren 2016, the 3DS seems to be getting a decent amount of higher-profile titles. As long as you're a fan of handhelds, things aren't entirely awful.
