It's been a rough year for Nintendo, while they are still putting out some stellar titles now and then there seems to be a clear problem with Nintendo, Acting on Fan Feedback. Everything that is said seems to fall on deaf ears. Unlike other companies that are more involved with their fanbase then ever Nintendo seems to be doing their own thing, just telling what they're going to do and not paying any attention to what is said in return. For example.

Animal Crossing Amiibo Party!!!! Errr.... No I think everyone wanted a real Animal Crossing game on WiiU.

Paper Mario Sticker Star/Color Splash!!! Errr... Everyone wants a game in the vein of the original or Thousand Year Door.

Mario Party... Everyone hated the Car in 9, so what did Nintendo do for Mario Party 10? Kept the car of course. Not to mention the new 3ds game which has some awful movement gimmick also and Island Tour which is already out where every board is basically a straight line.

Metroid - You wanted a Metroid Prime game?!? You're getting Federation Force ENJOY!

F-zero - You asked for a new F-zero? No you're not getting one on the WiiU because reasons.

 

It seems pretty clear to me that Nintendo have a big problem with interacting with their fanbase and taking onboard feedback and just in general giving their fanbase what they want. While in the last two years Sony has announced 4 HIGHLY requested projects because of the high demand from fans (Shenmue 3, FFVII, The Last Guardian, Crash Bandicoot.) Nintendo is making Color Splash, Bad Mario Party's, and Metroid Federation Force.

Nintendo Directs are just Nintendo saying what they're going to do, the communication seems one way, as a Nintendo Fan does anyone feel like their voice is really heard when they ask for a certain game or a change?

Basicly all games you mentione are only small projects/spinoof for curent users to fill gap until NX arives, there is nothing strange about that.

If you really want proof about good communication with fans, look at new Zelda, basically they done everything fans wanted.
