I have to agree with you for the most part. A lack of these features actually makes their online play not fun for me. I only like Smash Bros U online and it's really addicting.
The DS days were different. Mario Kart and Metroid Prime Hunters were amazing games. I have well over 100, if not closer to 200 hours logged into Metroid Prime hunters. That game had menu voice chat in custom games. It was such a good game and it was Nintendo's best functioning online game to date.
Nintendo still makes fantastic games, I could only imagine how good they would be if they were up to par with the current games. Nintendo is severely lacking on various "forms of fun" that Sony and Microsoft are offering. Nintendo still overs a lot, and different "forms of fun" than the competition, but they are using far less diversity of "forms of fun". If you don't know what this means, it's a developer term and here is a basic layman version of it. https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/434/game-design-8-kinds-of-fun Both visuals, physics, and even audio are forms of fun for some people. Nintendo has the last one nailed hard.
Point is. Nintendo isn't just lagging behind on the spec factor, but also on the fun form factor. Most people here will disagree, as will a lot of the internet. However, if you walk into a game store or a Wal-Mart, target, best buy etc. You'll find a lot of people saying that they don't find Nintendo games fun these days. As most of them are lacking diversity. Too much innovation with their hardware, very little diversity between titles of their main IP's. Mario still feels like Mario etc. The Game Cube days really shook things up.

This is just rude and offers no context to the conversation. Why did you even feel need to say this? It's an incredibly outdated troll response that has no reaction anymore other than making you look like a jackass. Congrats.
