Because Nintendo are very successful and a good argument against the opinion they want to push down everyone's throats. Therefore it's easier to ignore the fact that they exist.

Plus, it's a well known fact games for children also suck.

Yes you would be correct in your setiment,, Those games are the kind of games that fit with there "cinematic games"," I want movies and games to share the same shelf" or "games adults play" agenda.  Nintendos games and just video games in general  are the anti christ to these goals.

truer words

Nintendo is simply excluded because they managed to keep the quality. Same is true (to a slightly lesser extent) for Capcom. But then ?
Some very popular and critically acclaimed Japanese gaming series are dying in case of sales, quality or even both.

Pro Evolution Soccer
Final Fantasy
Kingdom Hearts
Tekken
Soul Calibur
Dragon Ball Z fighting games

Well you get the idea.

I find this hillarious!

I feel bad for this guy and anyone who thinks the same.
People like that are are arrogant. Thinking their way is the best way.

Just because you don't like Japanese games, it doesn't mean they suck. It means your taste in games sucks.

and LOL at his comments on twitter. He is obviously an attention whore trying to get publicity for his no-name game I have no interest in looking up.

it's not trolling if it's true.

if you compare games from NES, SNES, n64- you know the great games of the past. to today's garbage you see why he in most ways are right.
its like japan is stuck spinning in circles, or worse, regressing.
does anything on the wii compare to super mario 64? heck no. super mario galaxy is worse then mario 64...
mario party 1-3 was fun. mario party 8? sucks.
JRPGs were great back on the PS1 and earlier, when games couldn't do much, it's a new era now and a JRPG can be updated to be... idk, fun for more then just the huge fans.

take the tales series, the only JRPG short of pokemon i have cared about.
tales of vesperia was kinda fun, but it had almost no side quests... it talked about guilds and stuff, why not let me join all the differnt guilds like skyrim? with their own quest lines?
tales of vesperia had a few mini side quests but nothing spectacular or something that feels important.
thankfully the combat wasn't turn based like final fantasy, real time combat please? i mean some people like turn based but does every JRPG have to be turn based?

pokemon is a JRPG that to an extent does it right. lets look at pokemon gold, one of the best.
you have the main story, then you have the bonus of the next area which is basically the original pokemon red/blue.
you also have the battle tower.
and if your dedicated you have the "catch X pokemon" or even more dedicated "catch ALL the pokemon"
above all, it was a hand held ( hand helds you expect to be worse then console, we all do)
and, iirc, pokemon gold, was on the gameboy color, this thing came out like 7-10 years ago. it's sad that games today are LESS fun then games 10 years ago.
and that is why, japanese games suck ( well all games suck this gen it seems, but japanese games seem to have taken the BIGGEST hit.

I don't see why the West gets a free pass here. There are plenty examples of Western developers who are entrenched in the old ways of thinking or straying from good game design. Seems a little ethnocentric to pick on the flaws in Japanese development.

Japanese games >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Western ones

Almost all my favorite games and franchises happen to be Japanese, wasn't intentional or anything, I just like them a lot better
