As I'm playing Skyward Sword I couldn't help but think about the last time Nintendo cared and genuinely tried when making their games and the GC era was definitely it. Tons of experimental titles and faithful revivals with their IP's, genuinely felt like they put creativity before profits and werent afraid to make mistakes... sadly, I think that was also a double edged sword due to the profitability not being up to snuff. Then comes along the Wii and really gets their eyes on what profits can look like if you cater to everyone and not just the "gamers". Follow that up with the Wii U's failure as they tried to reach the more hard-core audience again and thats all she wrote. It really is a crying shame, but like every other flame during the sixth gen, they all eventually got snuffed out.
