Nintendo gave up directly competing when Iwata took over and that hasn't changed. They don't want to take on Sony and Microsoft because they fear getting their asses kicked in like they did during the Gamecube era. This sounds overly mean of me, but I'm just being blunt. Ever since Iwata took over, the idea was "if you can't compete, don't double down and try harder against them. Run from them and make something else that people will want."
It's not going to change, sadly.

Wait.... its sony fault that Nintendo has made 3 bad Paper Mario games in a row? O_o
What I ment was Nintendo do dumb sh*t with their franchies too, there was nothing wrong with how the old Paper Mario games where, they where badass. New ones kinda suck or are okay at best. This has nothing to do with red ocean or blue ocean, it has to do with nintendo being oddballs for the sake of being oddballs, not because they have too. Paper Mario didnt have to go through all these changes, the "core" of the game was solid.
Like Im sure hardware isnt a issue either, paper mario isnt that demanding.

It has everything to do with red/blue because the games you liked were made back when they were into making core games and competing with Sony etc. Ever since Iwata took over, it's been... let's take what worked before and make it different. That way, the other guys can't compete or won't be willing to etc.
When the corporate shift happened, so to did their ideals and philosophy. That was the point I was trying to make.
