As a Nintendo customer, their software lineup has become very uncompelling. To the point where my Wii & DS haven't been turned on in over a year+ and there's no reason to buy the 3DS (even with price drop). N64 ports and other remakes aren't appealing.
Nintendo has been complacent riding the gravy train of casual gaming (Wii Sports type minigames, fitness, etc) for great financial success that doesn't constitute epic AAA gaming (core franchises like Zelda, Metroid, etc).
They aren't competing well VS direct competition (Sony, MS). With iOS & Android platforms to contend with, it isn't going to get any easier for Nintendo.
To compete against free & .99 cent app store games, Nintendo needs compelling, epic AAA games at the $30+ price point that they charge for. Not 3rd party shovelware.
