Yeah it's not like Nintendo is obsessed with the color green, or anything.

Nope definetaley no green here Doc.

Green is a pretty common color in real life, you know. It's the color of grass. And trees. And sometimes clothing


...and brown isn't, only the colour of soil.  And trees. And sometimes clothing.

Certainly. And if you take a look at the pictures posted by myself and by FFXIII, you will find just such instances of the color brown in Nintendo's titles.

The problem isn't the presence of colors, it's the exclusion of colors. I don't agree with Soundwave's original assertion that 90% of developers focus solely on browns and greys in their games, but it's likely that he was exaggerating, and there's a hint of truth to what he says. For at least the first half of the previous generation, there was an overabundance of games set in brown and grey environments, where even the grass, the sky, the blood seemed tinted brown.

Nintendo, for what it's worth, tends to utilize the whole spectrum. They don't tint their sky or their blood green, that's for sure (except in very special circumstances).
