Seriously.. what the fuck is the point of this topic? People that love Nintendo games are ALWAYS going to love Nintendo games, and people that despise them are always going to despise them. It's not like you're going to change someone's opinion with this topic. No one is going to suddenly read this and go, "shit.. you know what.. This topic has made me see the light! Nintendo games aren't as great as I thought! Therefore they AREN'T as important in the industry as I thought!" So basically, I only see this thread as flamebait.
Personally, from my 23+ years of gaming, Nintendo games for the most part, are about 100x better than the vast majority of video games I've experienced, and nothing is ever going to change my views on that. I WILL say that modern Nintendo is far inferior than retro Nintendo, but even modern Nintendo is still in a completely different league than most developers of the modern era.
