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

Safe, doing it safe.

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?

It looks like you felt the "safe" word as an attack. hmm, interesting.

Nintendo has done some great bussiness maneuvers, and some bad ones as is the case of the other big one (Microsoft has) and the Omnipotent Sony.

I play Nintendo games and I call them rehashes because they are. Games in Sony's field are also part of this because a sequel's innovation doesn't go always beyond a new feature or character movement in a game. But Sony creates new IPs, and even Micro does as well and a lot of Nintendo gamers tend to pretend that Nintendo innovates at every step when that is as false as Pamela Anderson's breasts.

Before I played Mario DS my mother was playing it. When she couldn't do something I told her what to do based in what I knew from Mario 1-3 and World and it was enough.

The bolded is completely false. In this post-modern times what is being pushed is the copy of the copy of the copy. You can see this reflected in the creativity displayed in popular movies and music. Nintendo's main demographic is refreshed every new generation. My little niece hasn't played Mario 3 or Mario 64 so NSMBW and Galaxy look new and shinny to her.
