means you didn't have a gap big enough to P2

I would argue that Nintendo peaked with the N64. At least with first-party software, anyway. If you want to go companywide, obviously they peaked with the SNES, since that's the last time their third-party support was on-par or better than their competitors (only discussing home consoles here). So for me, the first time I saw a dip in their output was during the Gamecube era, and at the time, it was very depressing. Going from industry-busting, mind-blowing games like Mario 64 and OOT to Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker (both really good games, but not even close to as innovative as their N64 counterparts), was a huge smack to the senses, and very sobering. Because up until then, everyone pretty much thought they walked on water.

But since Gamecube, I really haven't seen a dip. Most of their software has pretty much been about the same (really good), with a few great ones thrown in as well, like BOTW, for example. So I really don't see a cause for concern.

It would be futile since those threads show that Kirby is unfathomable and even something as powerful  as Nintendo's Seal of approval, couldn't fix his thread quality, now I blame this regression on Kirby not employing Rol to head his QA department but  then again VGChartz gained a Poll Admin.

Rol agrees with my point tho

Is there no end to your ability to corrupt.

Double Trash. Mario Sunshine is shit as well. Mainline 3D Mario and MK had their worst entries on Gamecube.

i could drop a cliff of a cliff and then tell you there is no cliff

As a huge Nintendo fan, I disagree, Nintendo peaked with Pikmin 3. But there's been great Nintendo games since then, a lot of them actually.

The way I see it is Mario Kart Wii was where modern Mario Kart began. While the series has never been a slouch (maybe excluding Cube and Super Circuit), I don’t think 7 or 8 are worse, they just weren’t the monumental leap in quality over previous iterations. The bar was set very high on the Wii, but IMO Mario Kart 7 was an improvement even if just for having a proper modern handheld version. The DS game was great, but it’s like the N64 version, there were issues with it that were forgiven because there was nothing superior to compare it to. Mario Kart 7 didn’t properly succeed Mario Kart Wii, but it did act as a great companion game, and Mario Kart 8D took the benefits of each of those games and improved on those.

I think Wii still does some things better than the Switch (IR aiming beats gyro, Wii’s party games are still king, and the best Super Mario console is still the Wii). Switch, IMO, in spite of the monumental fuck up with the premium subscription service, has surpassed the Wii in catalogue collections. While there’s no Chrono Trigger and FF6, or Ogre Battle 64, the Switch now has FF7-X, Grandia 1 and 2, FF Legend 1-3, Mana games, multiple ways to get Sega’s catalogue, Langrisser, Romancing Saga games, Dragon Quest games, and a whole lot of Tales games. I think FF6, Chrono Trigger, and the rest will come someway, somehow. I’m hoping Nintendo’s new and much more advanced gyro tech catches up in precision and quality to their primitive IR and accelerometer tech - they’ve been trying to fix that issue that wasn’t really broken for 10 years now.

Anyway, Nintendo’s undisputed champion is Breath of the Wild. The best shot of any company at currently surpassing it is probably Breath of the Wild 2.

How could you?!
