Not a Nintendo "fan" since I switched the first time I got to experience the PS1. Still like them, though. As to your question, nope, this is the worst. At least during the N64 and GameCube days Nintendo still had pretty good 3rd party support and were pumping out classics themselves. Their handhelds were doing extremely well, also, in terms of sales and games. Both Wii U and 3DS have faltered in terms of sales, the Wii U much more so, both becoming Nintendo's worst selling home and handheld consoles. 3rd party support has dried up and Nintendo struggles to pump out games at the same rate as before, usually relying on remasters to see them through droughts. And while some of their games are pretty good, with less than 15M consoles sold, they will just be a footnote, not able to gain the label of classic.

Really, Nintendo seems to be throwing all their eggs into NX, hoping to push sales by combining their home and handheld markets. If this doesn't pan out, they will most likely be switching to 3rd party, like Sega before them.
