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

Definitely the worst. In the past they've done badly financially, but at least they still put out a lot of great games. Right now they're floundering and just about everything they do disappoints me. They've never been more stubborn and out of touch, and it's never mattered as much as it does now.

when have they done bad financially in the past? this generation had their first annual loss ever.

They've never been in danger of going bankrupt or anything, but some systems made much much less money than others.  The N64 and the Gamecube both underperformed, many considering the latter to be a commercial failure.
