In your opinion, what were the best and worst eras of Nintendo?

I’m talking from games, music, art style, to even Ui and console design.

For me the best would have to be the early wii era around 2006 to 2010, the Wii and Ds Lite were so sleek and aesthetically pleasing, there were iconic games, amazing music, great ui, it seemed everything Nintendo touched in that era was just so charming.

And for the worst, ironically i would have to say the tail end of the wii to the release of the Switch, 2012 to like 2016, apart from the few and far between highlights like the 3DS and the odd good game, it just felt so stagnant, the wii u just felt empty and like they just ran out of ideas, and were stalling until the switch.

What do you guys think?
