I think nintendo started to lose their way after the GBA-- wasting years of effort on no-fun nonsense like dual screens and autostereoscopic displays-- and now is completely adrift. They need to get blown away by some new game company just like they did to Atari et al back in the 80s. Most 3D games (on any platform) aren't much of a game: the gameplay is essentially the same as in a 2D, top-down game just with gigs and gigs of artwork hanging off it.
Take that Pokemon England game, known as "Sword and Shield": same old PokeBullshit with a few gimmicks thrown in that leave everyone nonplussed. (Sending your Pokes to work is lame.) The hedgerows and houses are beautiful to look at but the Pokemon themselves look like a middle school kid drew them using MS Paint.
Or Animal Crossing NH: it's just a lifeless remix of New Leaf. It is higher resolution, but I actually find the graphics less compelling than in New Leaf. I feel like I could be playing NH on any old tablet or phone, but NL still looks good and just seems a little more unique.
I could go on and on but I think playing tetris on a hacked minidisc player might be more fun.
