        nintendo only does reletively good when their consoles struggle.

        whenever they hit something sucessful, they become shrewed and start removing features/make a worse experience at times.

        3ds strugles, nintendo gives 20 retro games for free. wiiu struggles, many bogo offers. Switch is sucessful, removes paid for emulated games and pushes them into a subscription service, removes local save backups, removes browser, charges 20$ for online, objectively have a worse online experience to both the WiiU/3DS in many instances. Half asses some games, increases the price of ported games (e.g Tropical Freeze on the WiiU was 50$, then a 20$ nintendo select late in its life, was a 60$ game on the switch)

        You’re confusing Nintendo, the company, with the people who work at Nintendo (minus the corporativist scum). They absolutely have some of the best game devs in the world. They also suck and degrade the gaming sphere on a regular basis.

          Ofcourse they have their inhouse developers but we musn’t forget the developers at other companies that helped make their systems great (Konami, Capcom, Sunsoft, Hudson, HAL Laboratory, Rare, Argonaut, DMA/Rockstar, etc

            Funny how most of these companies are only a shadow of their former selves, with most of the old guard leaving to form their own studios and focus on good games instead of cashgrabs. I absolutely recommend playing Bloodstained – Igarashi is a genius when it comes to MetroidVania
