When you hear 'Nintendo' what's the first thing that comes to mind?

Lol out of the three Nintendo is the one that takes most risks!

 

 

When I hear Nintendo I think of Do0m3ed!!

Dumping down tech advancements to remain in profit. Rehashing the same franchises over and over again without coming with new IPs. Not daring to make a non-family oriented game since Eternal Darkness.

They haven't gone safe all the time, but that is what came to my mind first.

If you want too stay long in the business you need too think smart and if safe is what keeps you alive then so be it. But sometimes too stay alive you need to do new things and that’s what Nintendo does and everybody seems to copy them in the end. Now I am not saying they invented everything they have in consoles but they sure were the first too a lot of things and many of them are standards now.

Someone who does not take risks doesn’t create new ways too play games, they stay the same or wait for others too take the risks for them and then copies them!

And anybody calling Nintendo games rehashes has either not played them or is just plain ignorant or a fanboy. If you are only thinking about the part “oh the princess has been kidnapped again” then you clearly look at games in a shallow way.

If Nintendo games were only rehashes they would not have lasted for over 25 years. Games that play the same are those that go under. What games out there are as old and still fresh as some of the Nintendo games?
