Now I want you to find me one third party game that is like Zelda OoT, one FPS that is like the Metroid Primes, and one game that was like Super Smash Bros before it came out. It's impossible. It seems like Nintendo's games actually stand out from all the standard genre-defined games of third parties and the like doesn't it?

inspirations are not rip offs, don't you know SSB is inspired by this game?

Metroid Prime is also not the first FPS ever created btw, or should i say First Person Adventure (since metroid isn't a "shooter" in that sense )

Ok, so Smash Bros does play like that game. But there are still no shooter like Metroid Prime. and there are no Adventure game like the 3D Zeldas.

With most of the Sony first party games I mentioned, there is always a third party game that did almost identical gameplay first. But with Nintnedo's games, usually the only game that has similar gameplay is an earlier Nintendo game in the same series. That was my point and it still stands.

Your point is void and you should probably do your research before making such outlandish statements. 

These threads have all turned bad because some people couldn't give up the opportunity to bash a company they don't like, instead of actually providing well thought out arguments as to why Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft should leave.

First of all, color me impressed with your gaming knowlege.  You really dug deep. Watched the vids.  The problem lies within KungKras'  arguement to find something "similar".  There are always similar games because games take ideas from one another.  That said I think some of your examples have more dissimilarities than not.  Lets go through them one by one.

Metroid
Never even seen the game you linked to but from what I watched I didn't see any shooting, hidden passageways to discover by environmental clues, upgraded weapon and power suit systems, morphball form, bosses, or a miriad of other features that comprise Metroid.  Again, I've never played the game, but those things were lacking in the gameplay vid.

Mario
I'm sorry, but saying pitfall is very similar to Mario doesn't compute for me.  Mario plays and controls quite differently. If you break them down to their primitive play mechanics you can make the relation, but Mario offered so much more originality in environment design, sound design and control to the gaming world.

The Legend of Zelda
I agree with the second video being like Zelda. Zelda is not as original as some other Nintendo franchises. I just think it does the formula best. (-:

Smash Bros
I think you nailed this one pretty good to. How the heck do you know about all of these old games?  I'm almost 30 and I don't remember them.

Ocarina of Time
I played Body Harvest and aside from the free roaming aspect and visiting people and places it is more akin to GTA imo. Ocarina of Time plays differently.

Motion Controls
Did the stick you showed even work? I'm not sure "tries" count. I realize Nintendo isn't the first company to explore motion controls but they are the first one to make them the standard for their console.  You've got to give them props for at least that.

That's my two cents.
