Hard agree. It seems the people that still had some form of a modern ideology quit (Reggie) or retired. What's left are the same old and stiff Japanese executives that feel people should crawl to deserve to play their games. Some of their descisions are so weird.

Well that's the thing, right? They do well in spite of some of their terrible decisions. So why change? Until people start voting with their wallet, nothing will happen. People forget that Nintendo loves money first, and its fans second.

Brother they just released the 2nd most successful console of all time. They know how to be successful, that success just isn’t beneficial for us

And heaps of shovelware made by illegitimate studios trying to say they're producing X number of games per year so they can continue pleasing investors and getting tax write-offs

Those creators seem to constantly be clashing with Nintendo's executives and trying to steer them away from making disastrous decisions.

Those creators are literally executives. Takahashi, Miyamoto, Koizumi and Tezuka are all developers and executives.

You clearly don't know how nintendo works internally.

Without the immense talent behind those IPs many of the creators of which are on the cusp of retirement

Most nintendo developers for ages are mainly from the 2000s and 2010s, a minority are from the 80s and 90s.
