It was worse around 2010-11 when I believed Nintendo had all these great games I would like in the pipeline but was just being secretive about them (Metroid Prime, original style Paper Mario, hub-world 3D Mario). Which, of course, they didn't. And what they WERE doing was making tons of money, so there was no chance of a course change.
Three things are different now. One, people out there are making the Nintendo-like games I want now. Yooka-Laylee, A Hat In Time, Undertale. Two, Nintendo's financial situation is a lot worse, so they're under pressure to make a change. Three, I've realised I need to wait out all the current staff retiring and bringing in new people who have some ambition like Splatoon.
