After the storied SNES there was tremendous build up for the at the time Ultra 64. Delays, the release of the Playstation and Saturn, and then just a very average product, began Nintendo's decline. Lack of quality game releases (see Game Cube), and general poor showing if any showing at all, have hurt any reputation that Nintendo possesed some ten years ago. All their fame is built on the past, nothing on what they are currently doing or have anytime recently at all. You could say the N64 was the beginning of the end, but the Virtual Boy was a sign of the decline, without a doubt, they lost a bundle on that baby and the person who created it, who also created the GameBoy originally, fell into great disfavor with the company. He died about five years ago almost forgotten...
