This list reads mostly like business decisions they made which the writer dislikes

Not all that baffling

Virtual boy yeah that was a problem but souch had gone into r&d they couldn't back down I guess it was always destined to be more of a toy I think gunpai positioned it like this to

Not selling games in the nso service
reoccuring revenue to play these games vs one time payments of $6
Some of these games on NSO are very lengthy with games like earthbound taking a player 30 hours to finish.
In Addition imagine the blowback if they made everyone buy super Mario Bros 3 for the switch after alternate buying it on the Wii/U/3ds

Paper Mario transitioning from a rpg isn't a mystery sales play into that

Nes classic supply limitation - supply and demand they didn't foresee it to be a huge hit so didn't want to end up with stock they were unable to sell

Nintendo creators program it sucked they simply wanted to see some of the revenue that content creators were seeing by using their games in videos

Mario 35th anniversary axed after 6 months could eat into their nso revenue competing with Mario Bros on that service plus ongoing server costs and maint cost for a free celebration game

Everything Wii U well hard disagree there they wanted to do something different but the execution was poor yet they still had amazing games that were highly regarded when released on the switch and went on to see huge success as Iwata alluded to they didn't want a more powerful system just to have a more powerful system they wanted to find new ways to engage the players but yeah it didn't land

I hope they have achievements for the SWITCH 2.

Never understood anything limited edition. More you sell, more money you make. Amiibo, there was limited stock which ended up in the hands of scalpers. Nintendo should've released a card version. Raising the price of Switch games is another. The Switch docking station hiding the screen. Releasing the same old every year, no 1080 Snowboarding, Pilotwings, F-Zero, Stunt Race and Wave Race etc. A new Wario World? Paper Mario on the Wii U hasn't been ported to the Switch. It's not just Nintendo with baffling decisions.
