On one side, I can understand the constraints because Nintendo wants to push all the characters they have already created and they want to push them in a standardised way. On the other side, this is just crazy...
Smartphones and tablets (at least in their "default" state) aren't made to play Nintendo games in the way Nintendo designed and developed them. Nintendo should just put everything into their own service (Nintendo Switch Online) and attract as many people as possible to buy their hardware including this service. Period.
Nintendo without Miyamoto won't be the same that is for sure (the losses of Yamauchi and Iwata were also noticeable) and Miyamoto will be missed so much by the whole video game industry when he leaves.
However, Nintendo started to adapt to a post-Miyamoto era long ago. Some time after the GameCube released they already started to push Miyamoto more into the background and into a supervisor role. Over the years he got pushed back more and more into the background and now has more or less just the role of an advisor.
Miyamoto seems to have established a way of thinking and working at Nintendo that won't go when he leaves. I'm pretty sure of that... at least I hope so.
Please no folders. A game can only be in one folder and folder "icons" would also look sooooo boring. Tags are the way forward. So you can give a game several tags and later search for one tag (e.g. "online mode").
I played Overwatch on my Switch and I think Blizzard did a great job. We shouldn't forget that further improvements can still be made, however, they aren't required at all.
In September or at least October the SNES app has to go online. One year after the NES app that would just make sense and Nintendo can't really push the NES app forward anymore.
I just love to see and hear that Shigeru Miyamoto is still there. One day it will all be over but until then I'm really looking forward to how he pushes Nintendo to new limits.
Mario Kart 8 DX is nearly perfect (I only dislike that I can't see the time trail times of my friends). Nintendo should rather give other franchises a chance.
@purpleibby Do you think Nintendo is happy about this situation? No one is happy about it. However, a bad game – that would have made it in time – wouldn't make us happy too. So this is the one and only real option.
A Zelda series / movie about Zelda / Shiek or Impa would be something. Link doesn't have to be part of the series / movie (he could be used only for the games because he represents the player).
PS: Ironically this is where the title "The Legend of Zelda" really helps.

Super Mario World. Period.

I love both. They are two different type of games and both types are great.
Re: "Nintendo Isn't That Smart": Pachter Says Nintendo Should Scrap Switch And 'Only Have Switch Lite'
Nintendo is smart enough to not do what Patcher says because Patcher doesn't have clue.

Re: Fans And Analysts Ponder The Eternal Question: Can Nintendo Survive Without Shigeru Miyamoto?
Nintendo without Miyamoto won't be the same that is for sure (the losses of Yamauchi and Iwata were also noticeable) and Miyamoto will be missed so much by the whole video game industry when he leaves.

Nintendo and Image & Form working together on one game? BRING IT ON!!! That would be a dream come true!
Re: Hey Nintendo, Can The Next Switch Update Look Something Like This Please?
Please no folders. A game can only be in one folder and folder "icons" would also look sooooo boring. Tags are the way forward. So you can give a game several tags and later search for one tag (e.g. "online mode").
Re: Fatal Frame Producer Wants To Bring A New Entry In The Survival Horror Series To Nintendo Switch
Why not? The Switch would also like to have a good Fatal Frame game.
Re: Video: Overwatch On Switch "Works" But It's Far From Perfect, According To Digital Foundry

We don‘t need folders. We need tags. And a redesign of the eShop.
Re: Two More NES Games Join The Nintendo Switch Online Service In August
In September or at least October the SNES app has to go online. One year after the NES app that would just make sense and Nintendo can't really push the NES app forward anymore.
Re: Pearl And Team Chaos Win The Final Splatoon 2 Splatfest
Order win: Everyone is being controlled by a higher order. This is a Matrix-like future.

Mario Kart 8 DX is nearly perfect (I only dislike that I can't see the time trail times of my friends). Nintendo should rather give other franchises a chance.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About The Metroid Prime 4 Delay?
@purpleibby Now Nintendo is going to do everything that Metroid Prime 4 is going to work out just fine. This project now has too much media attention.
