I still don't know why, but Nintendo has never wowed me, except with Advance Wars. I haven't played any other game from them that I consider a masterpiece, and some of them I didn't even like them (Super Mario 64 or Super Smash Bros). I guess they don't make the type of games I like

 

You may as well just not like video games at all.

I got a game for you,

Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Ok, thanks for showing so much tolerance for people with different tastes in gaming, just because someone doesn't think that the sun rises from Miyamoto's office you make him play Hello Kitty. Pretty mature your post.

Now for your information, there are other companies besides Nintendo, and they also make games (I know, amazing, isn't it?), and even some make fantastic games, and I found that in my opinion (and I remark this statement) those companies (Sony, Atlus, Konami, Square) make better games than Nintendo. But no, of course, for you it's Nintendo or Hello Kitty.

 

I'm sorry if this post bothered any Nintendo fan that can actually tolerate other people's tastes, but posts like this really annoy me, so I saw the necessity of answering it without holding back

I agree with you, but Nintendo brought so many things in many different genres that it's hard to not give them at least a bit of credit. Sure, you may not like many games they make, but SRPGs (for example) got a pretty big boost ever since they created Fire Emblem. They've also helped establish franchises such as Final Fantasy, Contra, Mega Man, and many many more.

Without their support in the early days, what would have happened to gaming? Now, it's just fan service to the max, and that's why Fernando is grateful to them (at such level). ;)

I never said I didn't give them credit. It's not that I hated every Nintendo game, in fact, I liked quite a bit of them (Golden Sun, Pokemon, Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, Fire Emblem), and of course the fantastic Advance Wars. I'm only stating that IN MY OPINION there are other companies who make games better suited to my tastes (for example, I usually demand a good complex story in my games, something, and this can't be denied, Nintendo usually doesn't do). I never said in any post that people should rebel against Nintendo and go burn their offices because they make bad games. In fact, a fan wants to make a statue of clay of Miyamoto in his room and pray to it every day and night thanking he for the games he made, he can be my guest. Nintendo made some important changes to the industry, that's undeniable, as did Sony, as did Sega, as did Atari and those companies should be given credit for that (I'm not gonna argue which deserved the most credit and which deserves the least), and it's good that they are. But when you have an intolerant fanboy telling you that your gaming tastes suck because you don't think Nintendo made a lot of masterpieces and tells you to go play Hello Kitty, how do you expect me to react?
