So the problem is that Nintendo waded into the casual pool without really knowing how to swim in it.
I wouldn't say that. They basically created the market for casual games in the first case. Considering how much of a success the DS, DSi, Wii, and 3DS were, I'd say the Wii U was more a case of mishandled marketing.
Alright, new metaphor.
Nintendo went into the wave pool before the waves started going. And you can be as good at you want in calm water, but it you don't know how to deal when it gets tough, you're gonna sink.

Like I said, though.
They had two and a half hugely successful systems before one failed.
you seem to think that my main purpose here is shitting on Nintendo, that's not really the case. I'm saying the Wii and the Wii U are bad examples for Microsoft to follow, that's it.

because casual gaming (casual video gaming even) is significantly older than the NES?
Well yes, but the DS and Wii popularized it.
no
not
not at all.
Have you ever heard of an arcade, dude?
or an Atari, for that matter? Casual gaming is way fucking older than either of those systems. On an even more casual level you've got the Solitaire programs that've come with every windows computer since god-knows-when.
fucking christ it's sweltering in here and my stepdad won't turn on the air conditioning because some bullshit about how we don't have the money to run it or whatever the fuck oh my god

the air conditioning here doesn't even work, woohoo
It works here in the house, but I've been driving a car with no A/C since my Prius broke down, and it's not fun. :P Thankfully, the Prius is ready to pick up, and I'll get it back tomorrow.

Kexy's right to an extent, though
When the recent generations had been turning gaming into a slightly more niche thing, Nintendo opened up their doors and tried to appeal to absolutely fucking everyone and succeeded
That's a pretty nice song you linked, Srendi. I should check out that band at some point. They remind me of lo-fi era Mountain Goats, actually:
I love "The Best Ever Death Metal Band In Denton". Awesome track.
Woods were are a really enjoyable band early on, although their recent releases have become a bit spotty, with too much straight-ahead folk-pop and not enough wry weirdness. Their best releases are probably At Rear House and Songs Of Shame. The former is basically perfect straight through, but the latter has easily one of my favourite psych-rock tunes ever:

Death pretty much just said what I've been meaning to say the entire time.
^^^ P.S. Also, their first album (form which "Make Time for Kitty" comes) also has "Angel's Trumpet", which is incredibly creepy, and "God Hates the Faithless", which has death growls over acoustic guitars because... well, why not?
That song you linked sounds beautiful, Srendi. Psych-rock is a wonderful genre when performed by people who know what they're doing. I'll keep the album recommendations you made in mind for some later date.
I know the Mountain Goats mostly from John Darnielle's feature on Aesop Rock's "Coffee".
Listen to more of their repertoire. You will not regret this decision.
what's similar to his feat. on Coffee?
Heh.
I would say Heretic Pride, given that it's chronologically the closest album (and a personal favourite). That said, that feature is pretty unusual for Darnielle, musically speaking, although not entirely given his flirtations with any number of genres.

This is a completely ridiculous statement.
