You'd think being this horribly awful at business they'd have screwed up enough to be forced out of it some time in the last 100 years

For every good decision they make (DS) they make ten bad ones like the switch. The thing is the good decisions are sometimes really good.

Lol if you actually want to buy NES Classic.

This is honestly the funniest poo poo ever. Everyone in the world has a computer it's not hard to emulate stuff and buy a couple controllers if you really want the real experience. No let me go give Nintendo $200 to play excitabike

Newegg selling them for 183? Still more expensive than the three minutes you'll spend downloading a ROM of every single game

They're like $60 but since Nintendo loves to under-produce every single thing they make it costs 3x more than it should thanks to scalpers and now retail stores are doing it too.

You joke, but there's definitely some truth to the idea that Nintendo has failed to adapt to the growths and changes of the gaming scene. They still seem to think that games are the electronic toys of the early 90s and that the people playing their products are young teenage boys with little intellectual capacity. The modern gaming landscape is dominated by Sony because of titles like the Last of Us. Modern gamers want their games to not only test their skills but to also make them think and that's something that Nintendo absolutely doesn't want to do.

Either the Nintendo themselves are afraid of handling more complex subjects or they think their core audience can't handle darker and more complex stories and worlds. Either way Nintendo is stuck creating games with very black and white simple to understand ideas and concepts and it seems to be causing damage in terms of sales. You can also see this unwillingness to change and improve in their hardware decisions. Sony and Microsoft are constantly offering gamers better ways to experience their games while Nintendo is stuck working on terrible last gen hardware. IMO the gaming market is no place for such conservative and regressive strategies.

Personally I'm okay with a game being just a good game rather than a half-assed movie.

Games don't have oscar winning narratives but currently they are on par with most blockbuster action movies in terms of complexity.

Also video games deserve recognition for being art just as much as movies imo. I think things like environment design in Dark Souls is pretty loving stunning.
