The truth about Nintendo

Yes, Sony and Microsoft, unlike Nintendo, develop top-notch game engines.

Can you list  some examples, and what distinctions you made to determine why those are top-notch engines. Are you implying that Nintendo's in house game engines do not meet that criteria? What can NIntendo do to make their game engines top-notch?

Some examples:

PhyreEngine

MotorStorm Engine

Killzone Engine

Halo Engine

God of War Engine

Project Gotham Engine

Insomniac Engine 3.0

Modified MAG Engine

 

I would determine based on the following criteria: current gen ; above the average (disregarding shovelware).

Yes, Nintendo's game engines do not match this criteria.

They could create game engines on a platform holding current gen tech.

Last time I checked the whole purpose of a game engine is to give the tools to develop a game. I give you credit for the engines you've listed, but again.. What's the criteria for current gen, or what's above average? Please think about and elaborate on this point if you wish. Nintendo's game engines match the criteria that they need to make the games they want to make, so what's the issue?

What I've gotten from this thread is that everyone else does want Nintendont... Who cares if they aren't modelling realistic cities? Who cares if they aren't creating realistic shooters. Should they be held accountable for choosing not to do that? Should we hold other companies accountable for not going out of their comfort zone?

I play many games, yet it's very hard for me to find proper reasons why a game like GTA V is better or worst  to a game like TLOU, or how those 2 can be considered better or worst to SM3DW. I use these 3 as examples as they are some of the bigger games of last year. I'd argue from a technological standpoint and the complexity of the parts that go into game that GTA V is vastly superior to the other two, but my experience playing those games do not meet the technological observations or expectations? Superior technology =/= Superior games. Realistic graphics or physics are not  better or worst than animated graphics. More complexity in the game doesn't mean that game is superior. 

Lets be realistic here... Nintendo doesn't meet YOUR criteria. You don't seem to agree how Nintendo does business, how they utilize their resources, or agree with their philosophies in general. You do not enjoy the type of games that Nintendo makes. You feel that they should offer more diversity and complexity. In your opinion you feel like they've damaged the industry with their actions. I get that, I respect that... I even agree with a few of the points you have brought up.  You have your own standard or perception on how games should be... That's fine, but please don't confuse truth with your perception of reality.
