I like all of this a lot except the Virtual Console one. The current way they do it is wayyy better than buying overpriced classic games one at a time. It's the netflix model. There is a reason why people just use netflix or another streaming service over buying individual movies or tv dvd boxes these days, because the subscription model is FAR better - its better for estimating revenue for the company and way better and less costly for consumers. So I would keep the far superior current subscription model but bring back the Virtual Console branding for it and divert some resources to actually give it more systems and games, as there is no reason that GB, GBA, and N64 shouldn't be on there yet.
But yeah other than that I like regular Directs with a standard timeline for announcing upcoming games or giving sneak peaks for games that are planned to launch within a year. 3DS should only have the New 2DS on the market and it should be priced at like $90. 100% behind bringing back a Wii Sports like game on Switch, it would sell huge. And the AC people might enjoy a Nintendogs type game so while those games don't appeal to me I bet Nintendo could put together a popular game in that series. Middle tier $30-$40 games is absolutely needed!! Every Wii U port except Mario Kart should be in that range, plus something like Link's Awakening remake, and Nintendo should have some of the smaller handheld series come out on Switch at that price too - I'm still waiting for Nintendo's handheld series to come out on Switch other than Pokemon, based on Switch software so far it definitely feels like instead of combining their two divisions they just scrapped the handheld one and kept the console one. And yes to the N64 mini, I'm amazed they didn't keep selling the NES and SNES and come out with an N64 the following year. Even if they wanted a forced feeling of scarcity they should just release those three classic systems every holiday system to get people all hyped, sell a two or three million classic systems a year between the three of them.
