Define "Nintendo Magic"

It means "I like Nintendo games," basically. People then try to extrapolate that into something tangible but without detail. It's no different than someone saying "Call of Duty magic" if they're a big fan of that series. It's completely subjective.

Personally, Nintendo games usually felt too shallow for me to find "magic" in them. Games like ICO, Suikoden, or older Final Fantasy titles, which pulled me into that world and made me care about the characters, those are the games I found magical.

...and this. I would use the same words as the OP to describe some epic moments in games I played in my childhood...and since I didn't play Nintendo games as a kid, I now fail to understand "Nintendo Magic", even though I really try.
