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

But who would admit to disliking any of these things? It doesn't make much sense in the context of "if you like this then you should get a Wii U."

I'd actually say it does make sense to get a Wii U if you like polished, accessible games.

But that's not what people usually mean when they say 'the Wii U is great if you like Nintendo games.'

People who define "Nintendo games" as polished and accessible experiences would usually be content to just say "the Wii U is great" and leave it at that.

The former kind are often the kind of people who reckon Nintendo just = Mario, Smash Bros, and Zelda, and either neglect or are unaware of games like Xenoblade Chronicles X.
