I got the N64 in late 1996 and was pretty bored of it by mid 1997. i distinctly remember switching from Wayne Gretkzy 3D hockey that had great 3D graphics back to old EA NHL '94 on the Sega Genesis. Any how, in late '97 a series of 4 annual wrestling games came out and they made the N64 my favourite console i've ever owned. WCW v. NWO World TOur, WCW Revenge, WWF Wrestlingmania 2000, and WWF No Mercy.
The Nintendo 3DS wasn't very good at the start and Nintendo turned it around a year or two later.
With all Nintendo consoles it takes a while for 3rd party developers to get their footing and really maximize the capabilities of the system. So people should just wait and see before either crowning the King or declaring the Switch2 to be a piece of garbage.
