You’re severely underestimating the amount of people interested in retro gaming. “noisy nerd minority” is pretty offensive - companies way bigger than Nintendo basically rely on nostalgia nowadays. Their online offering is a ripoff and a disgrace to their legacy. Even the Wii U VC was technically and quantitatively superior. Not that I wouldn’t mind paying for it, if their first party titles had networking made with any kind of competence.

Are they interested enough in it to do more than buy merch? My impression is people collect way more of that stuff than they actually use, which isn’t a good sign for continuing investment. Nintendo game remakes don’t always do well; the Mario&Luigi developer AlphaDream went out of business after their remakes failed.
