But it had one big issue and that was the fact that it used mini discs... While the ps2 and xbox used DVDs which could hold 4.7GB of space, the GC's minidiscs could only hold 1.5GB which was a biggg issue when it came to porting games

Yea, the GC was amazing. I was talking about Nintendo. They're just now realising how important 3rd parties are. lol

More experiment with traditional franchises, like Mario and Zelda; go back to tradition with series that have strayed - Metroid.

Yes, however, not all games actually fullfilled those 4,7gb, as can be seen by the digital releases and PC versions of many PS2-Xbox games, most where between 2gb-3gb, still more than what a NGC game can hold sure, but there were plenty of games that used 2 discs, and with the mini dvds being cheaper to produce than the regular ones, the price of the game stayed the same.

They need to be experimental with hardware in a different way than they've been doing. I like the idea of a unified platform and I like the idea of a more iOS approach to consoles. That's the type of experimentation that should be done in that regard. I also don't mind them experimenting with controllers and stuff. The gamepad really is awesome, but it shouldn't be mandatory. It should be an extra. An aaccessory

I think they should also be more experimental with your software, but only some of it. Games like Mario kart and smash brothers are doing fine with their current trajectory, while games like Star Fox, Zelda, and Metroid seriously need to be rechecked, even if it's just getting back to what made the franchises famous in the first place. Innovation through revisitation.

This is definitely a tough call. Typically Nintendo finds ways of experimenting with hardware to make games different, but in modern gaming industry it just isnt a feasible way of making lots of money.

I dont want Nintendo to discard their creative minds but I also want them to sell more.... hmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Also, the GC wasn't too developer-friendly since it used mini-disks instead of DVD!
