They should go back to cartridges!
In my very biased eyes the SNES was their best system. Maybe they could do SNESHD. Focus on fun simple games instead of coming up with new (bizarre) controller gimmicks to try and keep people interested in their brand.
The N64 was great too. Initally many people scoffed at it because it clung to the cartridge while everyone else was going CD. The games were great though - I was constantly bumping my son off of it so I could play Starfox.
The Nintendo games have always been great.
The SNES may be the last truly dominant Nintendo console (excluding handhelds), but the N64 was infinitely better than the PS in my eyes, and the GC was the best of that generation for me, too. Those two consoles lived and died based upon first party games, but they were outstanding.
GC had Mario Kart (I'd argue the best to date), Smash Brothers (the same), and, uh... I can't recall what else I played on that system now, but my roommates and I were playing it 4 hours a day, 6 days a week for a long, long, long while.
