I still plan on increasing my Wii U software library but the NX being a no show at e3 is a major disappointment. I have friends all on the Xbox One and though I was planning on buying a NX this year I will be buying the X1 to join them.

Its a pretty sad time in terms of new releases, but the joy I will have in March 2017 is keeping my disappointment right now in check.

Probably, but none that I remember. I think 2016 might be the worst year ever as a Nintendo fan for me.

This is a really tricky question to answer because I would say yes, this is the worst time to be a Nintendo fan. But I'm not really that sad because we have some spectacular games on the Wii U and 3DS right now, and the NX is on the horizon. It just sucks right now because we are in a really shitty transition period where the future is unclear and Nintendo is making some bad choices right now. Also fans are upset because of the Wii U droughts and we just want to know what the NX is already damn it! Also the E3 news, or lack thereof, is really killing a lot of people's hype and mood. Hopefully in about 4 months we will be excited about the NX and Nintendo's future as a whole.

N64 era will forever be the worst to me. It and the GBC, while decent, did not do much for me...especially the N64, which was a massive disappointment.

Yes, 1889 - 1983.

I don't play handhelds much & didnt get a Wii U at launch. I didn't get a single game on that list. I played nothing but older Nintendo games during that time.

2015 & 2016 on Wii U is much better in comparison

They've never been in danger of going bankrupt or anything, but some systems made much much less money than others.  The N64 and the Gamecube both underperformed, many considering the latter to be a commercial failure.

Didn't you have the same feelings last year at this time of the year and left for a couple of months? Maybe it is the winter blues that has come over you (do you have winter blues in Australia?) For me on top of the other hemisphere (Sweden), summer is coming and I really couldn't care less about video games for a couple of months. I frequently get the blues in autumn/winter though.
