So it's widely known as a fact that many Nintendo games have ridiculous legs. But here's the question that no one really bother to ask...why is this so?

Doesn't explain why games like Super Mario DS remake having better legs than most games even today.

The reason why some Nintendo games have good legs is: kids and casuals. Especially Mario, especially on the 3DSDS. The reason Zelda and Fire Emblem don't is because they don't like them as much.
