Why is "Nintendo" used as a qualifier for games?

Because usually games made by Nintendo are pretty similar. They have genres that they are good at and stick mostly to them, with few if any attempts at other genres and new ips.

you might want to do some research before spouting your typical downplay

So you're saying they have done lots of attempts at genres they aren't traditionally good at then?

they've dabble at almost all genre's; with more success than other publishers. I've used this before here, here is just some of their highest rated games in each major genre. Care to find a publisher that can match that variety and quality?
