    It’s possible to acknowledge that yes but no they don’t make good games, just half-assed rehashed entries in the same 4 tired series they’ve been pumping games out of for decades

      Hard disagree. I really enjoy a lot of Nintendo’s games, and will be buying Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom right around release. Some favorites:

      • Smash Brothers
      • Mario Kart
      • Zelda - didn’t like BotW and didn’t get TotK, but I loved the Switch ports of Skyward Sword and Link’s Awakening
      • Kirby
      • Mario Party
      • Super Mario 3D World
      • Xenoblade Chronicles

      My kids like Pokemon and my SO like Ring Fit, but I think that series is pretty boring. And here are some I haven’t played, but probably will:

      • Astral Chain
      • Switch Sports
      • Luigi’s Mansion
      • Paper Mario
      • Metroid
      • Pikmin

      That said, I very much don’t like Nintendo as a company, especially its opposition to emulation. But I do like their first party titles, and they’re very polished at launch, unlike many other big studios.
