The funny thing is that they're going to bring back the double dash gimmick for the new Star Fox game that's coming out soon, except the non-driver player uses the gamepad so they have full control over their camera. I could see them doing Double Dash 2 on NX if they really do the screen controller gimmick again.

unfortunately the handheld well has now dried up and theyre no longer in a position to keep making home hardware that fails as they dont have a back up, hence why they want to combine them

if that was actually true then their consoles would sell absolutely ridiculous numberbs because the lack of third party support wouldnt be an issue. unfortuantely the strongest IPs in modern gamging are all but absent from nintendo consoles (they finally got minecraft so they have one of them at least)

When the sun burns out and the moon crashes into the sea, Nintendo will be there to release a new Mario Kart and sell you an emulated copy of Super Mario World.

nintendo snowballed into a position of handheld dominance and by the time anyone else could compete handhelds as a platform stopped being profitable, it's kind of sad really.

Most people forget that Nintendo makes a decent amount of money licensing their IP to clothing manufacturers, toy lines, general advertisement, theme parks, things like that. Despite their dwindling console/handheld business, Nintendo also survives on whoring out their IP.

the SNES has the good shadowrun game and castlevania 4 (which I don't like nearly as much as Dracula X but w/e I understand that's a personal preference thing) and not much else.

Is Nintendo licensing out their IPs for merchandise and other non-video game stuff an actual good money maker or is that armchair Michael Patchter analysis?

It only managed it gain its current sub-PSP sales after the pricecut. 3DS is a hella ace system tho and it still is selling worse than the garbage PSP did. I think LAdy Naga is sort of right that Nintendo handhelds have crazy intertia, which is the only reason the 3DS was able to crawl out of its hole and make a humble, if disappointing life for itself. Vita never stood a chance. Most people seem to think it's an amazing piece of hardware, too. Like, I know the memory cards were dumb, but I don't think Sony fumbled the ball too bad on the hardware itself. They just didn't have the momentum of years and years of beloved handheld games being released.
