I like enough of their franchises to buy their consoles at some point during the generation but not enough to make me buy them at or close to launch.

I'm glad that they're bringing things like Pikmin back, but I wish they would focus on more of a spread of their franchises (Star Fox & F-Zero included). I don't enjoy two of their bigger franchises at all (Zelda & 2D Mario); but I do greatly enough two of their other ones (Mario Kart & 3D Mario).

I dislike that Operation Rainfall had to happen at all; but I do like that it seems to have opened a new door in terms of localising & publishing titles in the west and I hope that they continue it beyond Bravely Default.

The only thing I actively hold against them is that they're dreadful at digital content in terms of both delivering it in a timely fashion & pricing it. After being able to pay once and play on 3 different consoles with PS1 classics; it feels like a kick in the nuts that I would have to pay extra to transfer N64 games across to a Wii-U.

Generally, they're very much on my good side, because it's the actual games which come first and their games are very good. I very much hope that they stay a major part of this industry.

I can't believe you didn't mention your love for Animal Crossing!

OT: I really dislike Nintendo. I feel that they are as bad or worse than the devil.

I feel like they are a great company with several faults. Nintendo, although I could care less about this, have taken their sweet time finally catching up to last-generation features. This doesn't affect me, but surely affects other's views on Nintendo. Nintendo also decided on releasing the Wii U, which wasn't all that great of a decision seeing how it has worked out, so far. They also seem to care way too much about other companies decisions. (See above) They need to stop that and start being a tad more independent. (If that's the word for it.)

Even with those faults (and most likely more) they are still my favorite out of the Big Three. They always release quality titles (other than Wii Music) and they always seem to have some type of connection with their community, albeit that last generation wasn't all that great (in that aspect.) Nintendo makes great games, has great customer service (most of the times), and makes great HW. They are the best. (Despite my first paragraph.)
