I'm confused now because I thought you only hate good games.

And it seems like Nintendo's standards of approval haven't increased which is a shame. People are usually critizising other things, but that's their biggest fuck-up this gen.

Meh, what's Nintendo supposed to do? It's always going to be a lose-lose situation for them with third parties. If they refuse approval, they will be branded as being dismissive of third parties, and if they approve, they'll end up with trash.

Also, it's not like the trash is restricted to indie developers, because last generation we got a report of various Ubisoft games failing to clear the hurdle for Wii retail approval, and you know how low that hurdle was.

There should be at least some quality control, the only hurdle seems to be the age rating. But they opened the floodgates to infinite shovelware by joining IARC. The NX eShop will be like appstores or Steam Greenlight if it sells well.
