As long as the core IPs are being continued and I get a new Pikmin and a new IP then I'm happy.
There are plenty that we're ticked off about. But...generally it wasn't stuff we were promised. Not that I don't want to see more from Nintendo, 'cause I do. I want to see lots more.
I think that back in the NES and SuperNES days, as much as it pains me to say it...it was the third parties that made the system. Aside from Nintendo's core franchises it was the Castlevanias, Final Fantasies, and Mega Men that carried the systems. Nintendo's games were always of high quality. But I think the amount of third party titles outweighed them. On the N64 it was incredible that almost every major game was a must have blockbuster. Unfortunately, Nintendo drove their third parties away. They did little to get them back during the GCN-era. And now Nintendo has something that developers love. The only negative aspect that I know of was not offering developers to integrate WFC into their games off the bat (I think they stopped that. Not sure). But...
What I think especially appeals to the third parties is that you can make a quick buck. And, as much as we'd like to think that developers strive to create a deep and artistic masterpiece of gaming epicness, they're there to make money off of us. If they can make a cheap movie tie in or port and just tack on some controllers and make money even if it doesn't sell well, then they will. I really wish they wouldn't. But, that won't stop them.
As far as Nintendo goes, we can't be too surprised. The hardcore base may not like all the "Touch Generations"-esque games, but they are selling. And for years now us Nintendo Fanboys have been touting that Nintendo will come back again. And...they have. We may not like how they have. But they have.
