I agree with everything here. This was definitely an experimental time for Nintendo. Rumors say that the current software on NX is being made in the same fashion of the NES days in terms of relative quality and output.

Care to explain that with a little more detail? Because it sounds good.

It was a rumor a couple months back... here's an excerpt from Nintendo Enthusiast:

"The best part of the rumor report -- and potentially most surprising part -- is that Nintendo's staff is "highly motivated in delivering a fantastic system and games," and hasn't been this hyped over a project since the original Famicom. Given the uncertain state of the console market, the beating Nintendo took with the Wii U, and the fall of its bottom line in general, it's very heartening to know the company is eager to put its shoulder to the wall and push back."

"Finally, in case you were wondering, many of the NX's ideas were reportedly outlined by Nintendo's former President, the late Satoru Iwata. Employees are said to end meetings and brainstorming sessions with the battle cry "For Iwata!"

Nintendo returning to their roots in terms of software development does sound amazing and I hope this is their mentality for NX software development. I interpret it as making good, solid software that defines genres and sets the bar again. That was what the NES stood for imo. I'm feeling quite nostalgic now and nothing would make me feel better  than a Nintendo throwback to the basics.
