The truth about Nintendo

I have a third franchise for you; Pokémon.

There have been a whopping five Pokémon games on PC and a staggering seven Pokémon games on a SEGA children's educational system. All from the '90s and '00s and I might add. But alas, they are children's games so maybe "they don't count" like those educational games and that mini-game collection I mentioned, or better yet they only "half-count" like the enhanced ports of NES games seiya19 mentioned, and the goalposts need to be moved again. Do I also need to mention Nintendo licenced products by Nelsonic and Coleco?

I'm lost. How many games are there on non-Nintendo systems again? My count's at 25 right now.

I appreciate your effort, but listing programs that aren't developed by Nintendo and some are not even considered games is not that much of an argument to contradict the OP, is it? Do you know what your examples remind me of? Chintendo Vii: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vii

Anyway, those "Nintendo games" are real treasures. If you know about more, please post them here. Thank you.

Predictable. I don't see how games on systems other than Nintendo-systems with input, licensing, publishing in some cases and other help from Nintendo themselves remind you of a Chinese pirate console.

You keep calling these games 'programs' and dismissing them as 'real games', whatever that means, but the fact remains there are now 25 games on the table that prove it's a lie that Nintendo is "not letting any of their games to be launched out of their platforms". I would advice you to actually look up what each of these 25 games are, because they are most definitely 'games'. It's completely irrelevant what you think of them, whether or not they are made for your demographic or whether or not they meet some kind of quality standard you have. The fact remains they are there, they are games, and that's all that's needed.

For someone who keeps hammering on facts, you're really having a hard time taking them when they are presented.

By the by, do you know of the iQue? Maybe that joined-venture fits your criteria.

Here, some box-arts for you to liven up this thread and give it some color:

Wikipedia: "Pokémon Project Studio is a computer program released by The Learning Company on November 9, 1999 in the U.S. This program lets the user create all kinds of Pokémon related projects such as calendars or greeting cards. Each version had stock artwork of different Generation I Pokémon. Some Pokémon were version-specific—for example, Kangaskhan was only available in Blue version, whereas Tauros was only available in Red version. Stock art of human characters like Ash Ketchum and Professor Oak was also included, and users could also add photos and images saved on their own computer."

@bold: that's not a quote from the OP. The OP is correct, Nintendo has engaged into that strategy and it's not said there when it was, but it certainly happened and despite your 25 examples, you can't find a single one that is recent and developed by Nintendo and described by Wikipedia (or other sites) as being a game. Again, the OP is correct, even if you don't want to admit it.
