At What point Did Nintendo Start To Fall Off For You?

Speaking game wise, never. Console wise, Gamecube was a minor step back in quality but I think the Wii helped get them back on track. However, the Wii U was a disaster. Hopefully they learn from this.
I didn't see ONE PS Vita at PAX East. NOT ONE.The second they dumped Sony and thought cartridges were still the future. They lost Squaresoft because of that and it was like a domino effect
They never fell off in the handheld market though
TONS of 3DS systems though, nerds sitting on the carpet playing their games while waiting to get into a booth.
The Wii was the turd of the Nintendo consoles. It sold a lot, but it was absolute garbage and hurt the Wii U big time
It sucks because the Wii U was a MUCH better console.
cosign a million %
looking for wii games at retail was painful as fukk...
More like 3/4 of the Wii lifespan. That console sucked big time.
Friend Codes lack of a real account systemLove Nintendo but that shyt is on point, if they had their way, we'd probably still be fukking with cartridges, be using multi-taps/4 player split screen, probably using memory cards, no HD, etc.
Nintendo was like those big oil companies and how they fight electric cars all the way. They wanted to keep everything the same to maintain their control over everything. Charge developers exorbitant licensing fees on cartridges, limiting the number of games publishers could release annually on their consoles to like 5, bullying retailers the list of their transgressions goes on and on. Back in the day Nintendo wouldn't lower the price of anything really. If it weren't for Sony's greatest hits you wouldn't ave Nintendo lowering the price of their games. Old ass games would still be full retail years later. To some extent Nintendo does that now.
Love Nintendo but that shyt is on point, if they had their way, we'd probably still be fukking with cartridges, be using multi-taps/4 player split screen, probably using memory cards, no HD, etc.

Its not that deep breh....
They pretty much lost me during the emergence of PS1.
Some would even become fans out the blue
I was about to dap this post until you lost me here.
It's a video game console breh...it's never that serious
I just mean in terms as a gamer and consumer of their products. The fact that they pushed that on us means they pretty much thought people would fall for the okie doke twice in a row. They think we're retarded brehI was about to dap this post until you lost me here.

while you're right about prices back then (and currently for first party), I think Player's Choice precedes Greatest Hits by a year. But I do get your general idea, Nintendo always been on some fukk you steez, as long as they get their money.
Player's Choice back then was for last generation games wasn't it? Sony had Greatest Hits on their current generation platform (obviously as they only had one) when they made it and the games were like $20. Nintendo's games were more than that weren't they?
