Maybe some of them didnt want to stick around and eat crow

Hey, that reminds me: is John Lucas still around?

Wow that's going WAY back heh..  I remember finding his Nintendo predictions insanely optimistic even by MY standards. 

 Luckily I never made TOO outlandish statements/predictions, at least that I can recall, so the amount of crow I'D have to eat should be relatively small haha. I DID expect Wii to reach PS2 numbers and thought Wii U could be somewhat akin to the SNES in terms of success (meaning a red ocean console that was a notable downturn from its predecessor but still overall respecable numbers). Of course we know how that turned out. Though I still beleive if Nintendo stayed the course they were on in the first couple years of Wii and not massively dropped the ball like they did in terms of losing touch with the mass market, both predictions had a good chance of coming true. 

On a side note - I gotta say I recognize a lot more regulars still trucking on here from back in my day than I expected I would.

You've missed quite the renassaince already. If you haven't played Galaxy, Xenoblade, Fatal Frame, Bayonetta, Splatoon, Smash 4, Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart 8, Mario 3D World, Skyward Sword, ect. You owe it to yourself to get a Wii U (which in turn is backwards compatible with Wii) and begin gaming good sir.

I actually do own a Wii U and have played a few of those. It's just I've played far fewer recent Nintendo releases than in the Cube/early Wii days when I snagged just about every semi-major release they churrned out. Those were my more naive and impressionable days when I let the industry hype sweep me away. I know better these days.. Maybe a handful of Nintendo titles a year at best now.
