Their marketing wasn't that good even in the 90s, lol, they were getting outmarketed by Sega and Sony fairly handily, their games were just so great and they had a fair amount of third party support that they were kind of the defacto brand. 

They let Sony and later MS gain too much power and become too far entrenched into their territory, that's where it all went wrong.

Pretty much, but I would say their marketing was good in the 90's. Especially, in the early half. Kind of shoving the idea that they are the best and most powerful console down your throats. Kind of like what Sony is doing now, only more aggressively. Sony congratulates the competition. While Nintendo never said it, you could clearly notice the "Fuck Sega" attitude in their marketing.

It's some times hard for me to believe that this is the same company sometimes. The same can be said about Sega. Oh how times change.

The thing about NOA during the Howard Lincoln years was that they at least tried to market to everyone while still emphasizing kids and families.  Modern NOA seems like they're eternally trying to recapture the casual market while almost exclusively marketing to children and maintaining some self-created ideal as the Disney of video games.
