posted this in another thread but it fits here as well to show why i don't like nintento:

to me nintendo is probably the main reason why videogames are still seen as kids toys (aka. something that's not worth spending time with if you reach a certain age) and not as a serious form of entertainment art (aka. something that can be worth spending some time with regardless of age) by hudge parts of our soceity. imo we'd be much further down the line in accepting videogames as an artform without nintendo.

What a load of narrow minded bullshit.

But I guess dull pretentious crap like Unfinished Swan and Gone Home are the magnum opus every single game in existence should thrive to be.

better trying and failing than not trying at all.

Are you saying Nintendo doesn't try at all? I wouldn't mind clarification on how you think a company who exists only to create video games is not trying in create the best experiences compared to the other 2 companies both of which have a gaming department but are primarily either a Software or a Hardware Company for stuff which is unrelated to Video Games. Nintendo only exists because of their games and systems.

and despite about 30 years in the videogamecreationindustry they still have nothing better than mario and zelda. nintendo does not create. they only recreate.

You'll want to watch the last Nintendo direct from before the New year considering you are so interested in the goings on at Nintendo Iwata explains how when they're creating a new game at Nintendo if it would add anything to the gameplay to go about creating new characters on top of designing a new game rather than just using faces that people knew and loved and just imported Nintendos main IP names onto their new games.

After watching it I gained new appreciation for using the Mario /DK /Zelda /Samus /Kid Icarus /Ice Climbers /F-Zero /StarFox /Earthbound /Fire Emblem /Pokemon /Kirby /Animal Crossing etc. characters and Universes in games which they are working on since it both means they're characters who people know and love, Plus it takes time away from creating the gameplay simply to come up with a new generic "jumping on platforms man" every 2-3 years which as you say after 30 years would be quite a chore if they had been doing it all this time and quite frankly I don't think they would exist today if they had dropped mario after Super Mario Brothers.

If btw you mean that because a game has Mario in the title it is a re-creation of another game with mario in the title I'd love to see the comparisons of how similar (Dr/Paper) Mario (Kart /Paint /Golf /Tennis /s' Picross /Ball /teaches typing /Party /& Luigi rpg series) are in terms of recreating the game play from the 2d slide scrolling NES Mario game.
