Yeah, the Big N needs a hard look in the mirror right now. Things are too fractured - it's handheld business is doing well against the phone/tablet juggernaut while the Wii U seems to be simultaneously self destructing. Personally, I think a more robust eshop/VC (along with a real account system) would be a big plus. I don't think Nintendo should get out of the hardware business, but it might need to consolidate its efforts. I also agree with those who think that some kind of tablet-with-physical-controls handheld/console hybrid might be the future of Nintendo hardware. Maybe a 7" tablet with physical controls (kinda like the gamepad) with a card slot for retail games and some sort way to output to a television in HD resolutions (scifi?). I would buy one.
I picked up the game yesterday for the Wii U. It looks and plays great! It appears that it will be a better "pirate" game than an "AC" game but I am totally fine with that.
Given that A Link to the Past is my favorite video game of all time, I am VERY excited about this game. A port of the original as a reward for beating the new game would be outstanding though I'm sure it won't happen...
