What was Nintendo's golden decade?

[Cobalt Blue]

Its funny how galaxy tried to work on the path sunshine and 64 built -in a sense of giving the player a sense of exploration and discovery-, yet it feels as linear as its sidescroller cousins. almost as if was an on rails adventure. the desings of teh wordls, while beatiful and attractive, end being completely dull when you realise they're nothing but huge bowls were you're forced to move though an specifically and unnavoidable path, with almost minor elements left to the player to hang around and explore.

I, in all honestly, ceased to give a shit about nintendo as a developer for the last 10 or so years. they have proven themselves to be completely useless when it comes to fresh ideas that doesnt involve you acting like a starving puppy when miyamoto speaks some poor engrish on the E3's stage, anouncing the next Mario.
