I'm reasonably sure that we don't have any posts from the "NES days" saying people should go third party.

No but they have been doomed since the NES days. They have been saying go 3rd party since N64 era tho

 

This is more akin to the people who say "New iPhone is underwhelming, Apple is finished". The 80s/early 90s Nintendo was practically 100% of the entire gaming industry, people didn't even call it video games, they just said "Nintendo". 

Ed Semrad was also always biased against Nintendo, lol. I remember he used to be a big writer for EGM back in the 90s, and he *always* pushed Sega over Nintendo. I remember EGM bashing Nintendo for example for hyping up "Star Fox" (for SNES) and the Super FX chip too much and saying Silpheed for Sega CD was the better game, lol. Nintendo had a "dome" build for Star Fox during CES (precursor to E3) and Semrad bashed Nintendo for it, lol. Sorry Ed but polygonal 3D WAS the future, you pushing Silpheed on the Sega CD was bullshit. 

As you can tell I've followed Nintendo for a *long* time, lol. Ed Semrad pissed me off back in the day.
