And it only took them about 10 years to come to this conclusion. Way to go, Big N!

About time...i'm still not gonna get a nintendo console until they really stick to their words and server us something worth serving.

Yup. Nintendo has no idea what they're doing--barely scraping by!

Maybe now they will make another 2D Metroid game that tops Super Metroid.

Not only is that a pretty extreme interpretation of Iwata's quote, but imo Nintendo has been offering some of the highest quality games on the market now with the Wii U.

Obviously. What was Nintendo doing all the time?

They may have money but they most definitely don't know what they're doing. Their gimmicks have failed, it's their IP's that still keep them really well off.

I wouldn't call the Wii a failure, nor the DS/3DS, and I've heard really good things about the WiiU. I agree they're relying too much on gimmick's, but last time they relied purely on beating the competition with better hardware they struggled(Gamecube). Nintendo decided to not go down that route anymore and set themselves apart from the competition--and it worked.

Do I agree with the gimmicky stuff? Nah, not really, but I can understand why they went with the direction they did.

Did any of those games last long by any chance?
