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.
