What is an indication of Nintendo's quality?
The seal of quality obviously.
The most obviously next step for this is Animal Crossing.
It should be. Nintendo your online gaming is limit. No Mario Bros online modes.
Nintendo: No
World: Cod is only raking money because of online.
Nintendo: Fine
Wario swims in cash
World: please make lots of power in systems, give custom controls for poor motor skills
Nintendo: no
World: Other systems got you beat
Nintendo: Fine
Wario becomes the 1 percent

Nintendo biggest mistake was to not capitalize enough on their IPs during the Wii/DS boom. Ventures like theme parks/TV licencing/merchandising etc should've been in planning ages ago, but good to see they are now catching up.

This was my take away as well.
No surprise here.. when it comes to mass market appeal things typically tend to go down hill quality wise.

Would we be seeing toys to life and mobile from Nintendo had the Wii U been a success and 3DS more of a success?
Pokemon go is garbage?

Pokemon doing well in one of the biggest markets around? What a shock

Yeah, I wouldn't call it bad. The c stick was a joke, but the system didn't have all that many dual analog shooters etc anyway and it was fine for just controlling the camera in third person games and what not.
Without question, it is trash in 100% of ways. Well, 98%, actually. It has Pokémon and all my friends are playing it.

It's easy to look back at the two that worked, but I wonder how many more fan-made suggestions they ignored because they were not actually good ideas.
Terabucks coming soon. :3

Gigabucks would indicate either 1000 or 1024 bucks depending upon whether you are in hard drive marketing or RAM installation.

I wish they hadn't followed some trends like DLC, unless it's expansion pack like NSLuigiU or Mario Kart 8. Everything else ranges from overpriced to ridiculously overpriced.
Zelda looks good, but I'm worried about the dungeons. And open world could ruin Mario.
They still need to release 5-packs of old Amiibo eventually, no way they can keep all of them in stock separately.
Nintendo always had a lot of merchandise, but a good portion of it was Japan only, and it obviously didn't have the marketing behind it like Amiibo does.

When the popularity dies down on GO but the real Pokemon fans remain after 20+ years with the franchise, that is a testament to Nintendo's quality.

This is so fucking arbitrary, Nintendo's quality isn't being judged here, it's been proven over and over and over. While GO might not be the gold standard of said quality, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it has "lasting legs" or whatever weird shit people are using to shit on this. As it stands, it's an insanely popular game/app that expanded the interest in gaming to a lot of people who wouldn't give a crap otherwise.
You judge "Nintendo's quality" by stuff like Ocarina of Time. GO is a testament to Nintendo's strength.

I agree with you. You're missing out on a lot of context in that post you quoted. Fact is, I am not shitting on this app. I don't understand why so many people look at a post that isn't a shining endorsement and immediately equate it with shitting on something. There is a lot of gray area here and I am trying to allow myself an objective perspective on this subject. My personal preferences on this subject isn't what I am discussing. But every damned Nintendo thread turns into a trial. It's disappointing because it perpetuates the already bad stereotype of the Nintendo fan.
Absolutely, that doesn't mean it's wrong for people to like it though.

Sorry if I sounded harsh, but IMO you just kind of missed the point on this thing. It doesn't really matter if the popularity lasts or even if it's any good. It simply existing is already a huge win for Nintendo.
ViolentP

It absolutely is. I do not question the success the game has brought nor do I believe it's undeserved. I'm simply trying to understand the individual factors that allow something like this to occur. I would have the same interest if it were a completely different product from a completely different company.

Does this mean all the people saying they wanted a Nintendo console with power of the big two (bar Neo and Scorpio of course) and a normal controller will get their wish?

I agree with this. Its like Nintendo looked up at the dinner table, and said, you know... lets start making money and returning value to our shareholders.
