Which of these decades of Nintendo do you think was better?

The 2000s saw the closure of N64 and Gameboy, the lives of the Gamecube and GBA, and the rise of Wii and DS. They brought us the likes of Mario Galaxy, the Metroid Prime trilogy, Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii/Double Dash, Smash Melee and Brawl, and many more.

The 2010s saw Wii and DS close out their lives and make way for 3DS and Wii U, but then also saw the Switch's explosive arrival on the scene and first few years. It brought us Breath of the Wild, Mario Galaxy 2, Xenoblade Chronicles, Mario Odyssey,  Splatoon, A Link Between Worlds, DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Smash 4 and Ultimate, and countless others.

Which is your choice, and why?

This is tricky for me because of the Switch coming in 2017. Otherwise, 2000s Nintendo would absolutely clobber the 2010s.

The WiiU and 3DS represent the low point of Nintendo's gaming legacy, not to mention that the DS and Wii's final couple of years before being succeeded didn't exactly age like fine wine except for the outstanding Galaxy 2. But the 2000s era of the Wii and DS was really good as were the Gameboy Advance and Gamecube, not to mention that we still got a couple of great N64 games with Majora's Mask and Conker. That's not to say that WiiU and 3DS were void of any good games; A Link Between Worlds was a wonderful atonement for those two Zelda abominations on the DS, but the hardware concepts of both of these systems was just so underwhelming and the truly great games were few and far between by comparison.

However, the Switch's debut and first year were excellent which makes this a difficult vote - I mean, both Breath of the Wild and Odyssey in the same year on a shiny new system is almost a once in a lifetime kind of deal.

In the end though I still have to vote for the 2000s simply because there was no notable low point like there was during the 2010s.
