Other developers have their niche audiences and people outside said audiences miss the appeal. Or if a game from another developer/publisher has widespread appeal it usually isn't pushing boundaries. That is why excellent Nintendo games migh get such enthusiasm behind them. |
True but that shouldn't apply to a professional review though. Odyssey is a 3D platformer, Zelda an adventure, you wouldn't let your sports or racing guy make the reivew, but someone in that area. I think it has more to do with the insane creativity in gameplay mechanics Nintendo is able to put out, which often dwarf whole games just in a single level in Mario. And the very high polish they give their games, which I think is a main component in creating a masterpiece 95% upwards. Last but not least, the Nintendo charm, similar to Pixar.
