TBH Nintendo hasn't done anything that has impressed me in terms of innovation for wii and wii u, and I think a 3rd party Nintendo, that actually has to compete against modern games, would be the best for gamers in the long run. For example all the PR talk about how a second screen for wii u will make for great new gameplay experiences, well do you know the best way to do multiple screens? Online multiplayer. Things like pacman VS didn't need gba connectivity; it needed online. If Nintendo lost the handheld market, I doubt they could sustain themselves to keep making consoles and I would look forward to that.
