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

For first party content, no.

Every Nintendo console post SNES is fine, but not great. Wii U is more of the same in my eyes but with abysmal sales primarily due to price and uninteresting gimmick.

I really do wish Nintendo had kept Rare around. They weren't perfect and they need to clamp down on the wildly bloated 3D platformers, but they still brought a lot of worthwhile content.

Retro could become the new Rare, but Nintendo needs to invest a lot more in them and give them more freedom.
