The truth about Nintendo

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 you 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.

Talk about being picky, I said "each of these games". I'm pretty sure Wikipedia says the word 'game' next to every other game I and seiya19 mentioned except that Mario Paint-type one, so, well, still 23 left aren't there? If you really want something that was 100% developed by Nintendo themselves instead of 'just' co-developed, then how about you comment on that iQue I mentioned as well, which is a project that's still ongoing. Or how about that 'Quality of Life' platform they're developing as we speak. Recent enough?

And I copied that quote right out of one of your own posts, perhaps you refer to the second part of the original sentence so let's clarify on that. Fact is, Nintendo is willing to and has branched out towards other ventures if need be and there have now been plenty of examples, so no, in this instance at least, OP is not correct.

This is the last thing I will say about this part, because it's going nowhere. I have better things to do, like actually playing those wonderful things Nintendo has given me over the past few decades.

Or, sleep. It's late.
