The system would have sold better if it had...

Fans: Mario 64 remake or return to that style
Nintendo: SM3DW...

Fans: Metroid would melt faces in HD
Nintendo: ....
(Have we already forgotten the DKC meltdown?)

Fans: NSMB is just OK...
Nintendo: It's the flagship game for the 1st six months.

EPD had nothing to do with Platinum's titles. It was just convenient for Nintendo to publish them to bolster the library.

It failed because Nintendo had an unimpressive generation. The Switch ports are tinting people's glasses. Wii U felt like Wii games in HD instead of expanded gameplay/interactivity/immersion.

Edit: How could I forget E32012? An absolute trainwreck. And then W101 AFTER the presentation lol. 

^ so much this.

If anything I  think Nintendo didnt listen to its fans, with the Wii and Wii-u, they where aiming for casual markets instead.
I personally hated that they went from the master peice of Super Mario Galaxy --> SM3DW, it felt like a huge step in the wrong direction.
Same with XCX, while its good, its not at the same level as Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii was.
