Nintendo wanted a compact, extremely efficient (ie low power) console that also has 1:1 Wii Mode. It wasn't solely the Gamepad that held back it's potential graphical prowess.

We also haven't seen any dev take it seriously yet for exclusives. Porting existing content over to more powerful hardware doesn't automatically make it look better.

Dreamcasted except Nintendo doesn't even have its own Visual Concepts to develop superior NFL games. 

As if pissing off all third party developers and Nintendo's core fanbase weren't enough, Nintendo seems to be on track to piss off retailers as well; it's apparent that Nintendo is deliberately producing less physical copies of games to meet demand in order to force remaining interested consumers to purchase through their lousy e-shop system. Nintendo gets a far higher profit margin from games purchased through their e-shop than having distributors, retailers, and second-hand sales getting a cut. In addition, since all digital games are tied to a single system and account, all the purchased games will be lost forever if the sytem is ever lost, damaged, or sold. Nintendo is using retailers as nothing more than a cheap marketing shop now, and it's only time before retailers catch on and abandon marketing and selling Nintendo games. 

Would be great if they got Kurt Russel to voice him.. After all Kojima's character was based off of Russel's character, Snake Plisskin.. sSubZerOo
