I was just reading the back of my friend's Pikmin box when this kinda hit me... A lot of Nintendo games usually have minimal story (Pikmin, Mario) or stories that arn't as fleshed out as they could be (Metroid Prime).
I dont have a problem with this, I enjoyed most Zeldas, Marios, etc (except Super Paper Mario but that's another rant), but I did kind of notice a sort of double standard.
Now bear with me, this is not scientific, it's just what it kind of seems like to me. I havent combed through reviews, etc to verify this, but...
It seems like Nintendo gets a free pass in the story category, doesn't it? Not considering RPGs, I see action/adventure games here and there get knocked for their lackluster stories. But I dont recall seeing the same happen to a Nintendo game.
Does anyone else notice this? Has Nintendo earned this double standard via great gameplay? Or am I just mistaken and such a double standard doesn't even exist?
