TL;DW: Patrick Klepek and Kat Bailey are longtime games journalists. Kat runs a Nintendo-focused newsletter, so she follows Nintendo news more than most. Here, they discuss how modern Nintendo is less focused on innovation and more focused on becoming a nostalgia brand, a la "Disney Adults". They talk at length about Nintendo's cross-media aspirations, DK Bananza, and how Nintendo's leadership changes have led to this new course. Patrick talks about how his kids would rather game on an iPad than a Switch. Kat dreads the idea that she might be a "Nintendo Adult".
