Nintendo's ignorance could very well be their downfall. For one...I don't know why they don't realize that games like SSBM, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Pokemon, Animal Crossing 2 etc., would all be GREAT online titles, and I know for a fact people would love SSBM online, and yet they say it isn't profitable, what the hell are they thinking? And who cares if it's not profitable anyway? Doesn't Nintendo aim for "quality" titles?
When it comes to cel shading, I really don't see that as an ignorant decision. Many games are using cel chading, and it will probably become more popular in the future.
Another thing to add about the "out of touch" topic, it seems that a lot of their games are losing the quality they once had, really, out of all of the games that Nintendo released in 2002, only 2 of them were really good: Metroid Prime and Animal Crossing. The rest were pretty dull and boring, but of course, this is just my opinion.
