I'm happy with what I'm seeing. There's plenty to enjoy if you accept the system for what is, which is a post-SNES era Nintendo console (that means get your 3rd party fix somewhere else). And I'm fine with that.
I think the games look wonderful. Mario Maker looks great. Xenoblade X will be great. Splatoon looks sublime. SMT x Fire Emblem ... looks ... uh, well lots of boobies in the trailer, lol. I dunno I've never played a Persona/SMT game, sounds like they have good stories? Fatal Frame this year too, cool.
Yoshi looks solid, looks like avoid the pitfall of making the game "kids only" by having the option of the easy mode.
Star Fox and Devil's Third still a go at E3.
Plenty of good stuff coming.
Stop stressing about the length of the life cycle, who cares if its a little shorter than usual, for starters, hate to break it to you, but Nintendo really didn't support the GameCube from Dec. 05-Nov.06. Neither did they really support the N64 heavily after Nov.2000. Or the Wii's last two years in general.
I'm fine with a decent 4 years of support, that's basically how long Nintendo really does support any of their consoles. Next year (2016) will have Zelda U, SMT x Fire Emblem, Pokken Tournament, throw in some other games like a Mario Tennis U, Super NES Remix, and maybe a Paper Mario U and really I don't see the problem. That's also fairly solid by Nintendo standards.
