Very true... although Nintendo gets away with not having cutting edge graphics due to art design. Their games have a very friendly look to them that make you smile when looking at them. Take Nintendogs for example, the game may not appeal to everyone but it appeals to so many people because it's something that we can relate to. Puppies are cute... Nintendo put a lot of thought into making the box and the game very friendly and huggable looking. They didn't push it past the oh too cute point either. Very well marketed and designed all around.
Mario is also very nice to look at for some reason, he's like Snoopy the dog to me. I use to love my Snoopy doll as much as I loved my Mario games. The DS feels like a beefed up SNES which was also a much beloved thing of mine as a teen. Nintendo has taken the best of everything they did in the past and shoved it all into the Wii and DS. There is a lot of love put into the system and it's games by Nintendo. You can see it quite easily.
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
