Where's the Nintendo that developed epic games?

Yeesh, 2015-2016. The Dark Ages.

The ONLY thing Nintendo fans had to look forward to was speculation and rumors about the console codenamed 'NX' which turned out to be Switch 1 - And the rest was history.

The ever-elusive "Zelda U" getting constantly delayed from 2015 to 2016 to 2017 and being a no-show at E3 2015 was also a painful blow, it was the light at the end of the tunnel that seems like it would never arrive.

Plus, at the time, the prevailing opinion online was that Nintendo's days as a console maker were numbered at that they'd be going third party soon when "NX" inevitably flopped, so the discourse on gaming forums was abysmal.

Which is why I laugh and shake my head at all the grifters I encounter on Twitter (I refuse to call it 'X') calling Switch 2 a flop or that Nintendo is done, when they're not even a halfway to being half as done as they were 10 years ago - Wii U dead in the water, 3DS declining, severe software droughts, constant delays of 'Zelda Wii U' (We didn't even know its name at this point, 10 years ago), Iwata's death. If Nintendo could get past that, they can SURELY get past whatever slow period this is.
