I'm not sure why Nintendo gets that pass though. Not all games need to have a great story, but it'd be nice if there was some semblance of one. There's also no reason to devalue a good story. It can make a game or character far more endearing.

I think Nintendo are more aware of this than they used to be, as can be seen by them publishing many story based games this gen like Another Code, Pandora's Tower, The Last Story, Fatal Frame , even Mystery Case Files can be seen as an example of this. Not to mention their own games which are heavy on story like Xenoblade and Other M. While these games weren't really developed by internal teams within Nintendo, they do show that the company is more actively looking into this direction.

It is very unlike Nintendo to try and tackle something they aren't known to be strong at, which is why I am willing to show leniency towards them when their first efforts don't measure up to the level of quality they are known for (aka Other M). Hopefully they are learning and improving.

The only problem I have with that is that only Other M and Mystery Case Files have made it here. (and I have no intention of ever playing MCF)

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
