Personally I like the way they are approaching accessibility. And that they have fixed hardware and they know bits of that hardware. They are experimenting with ideas for their games

 

[HogIsland]

Super Mario World is a heck of a game.

 

[Gaiff]

I don't. I actually dislike Nintendo. I do like a lot of their games though.

 

[Shifty1897]

The only first party developer that makes JRPGs and SRPGs.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Umm… they make fun games?

 

[Danjin44]

Because I like the games they make....the biggest one is I like Monolith Soft which is part of Nintendo.

 

[Guilty_AI]

I don't

 

[Ainem Enamas]

I don't. I actually dislike Nintendo. I do like a lot of their games though.

You know a person by their works

 

[bender]

I love them because they love me.

 

[Sethbacca]

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I grew up with an NES in the 80s and I still love them though.

 

[Woopah]

Along with Sony, they release the most games I am interested in.

 

[Ainem Enamas]

I don't

In public, but in the nighttime you play Mario in your head

 

[Jack Videogames]

comfy

 

[Hrk69]

I think they know how to make fun games

 

[Neff]

Because they make the best games in the world

 

[Mownoc]

I like their games. I don't like them as a company.

 

[Banjo64]

Slim, light handheld gaming with passable graphics and great battery life with amazing first party games, third party support and indies.

The only console maker with a respectable online fee and I’m not worried that my kids will be abused or exploited when they are playing a game.

Their legacy on the industry and the nostalgia that their games and franchises hold.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Because the company secured my passion for videogames when I was 7

 

[Little Mac]

Well the NES was my first console ever and the SNES simply blew it away and provided me so much enjoyment in a time when I really needed the escape.

 

[ReBurn]

I love Mario Kart

 

[Skifi28]

I don't like Nintendo. A few individual games maybe.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I love Nintendo because they make gameplay focused games that put fun first.

I hate Nintendo because they treat their fans like used tissues.

 

[Danjin44]

I like their games. I don't like them as a company.

I dont like any of the companies, Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft, I dont need to....I mostly care about the devs who make the games like Monolith Soft and Team Asobi.

 

[dmaul1114]

I grew up on Nintendo, but am pretty meh on them these days. Still enjoy some of their games, but not as much in the past so I’m pretty mixed on whether I’ll bother getting a Switch 2. Would be the first Nintendo console or portable I’ve skipped outside of the Virtual Boy.

 

[Ainem Enamas]

I don't like Nintendo. A few individual games maybe.

But do you like Tin-tintendo

 

[AV]

They make good video games.

 

[GoldenEye98]

I'm mixed on Nintendo. Like on one hand they have a certain bar for quality/fun in their games but on the other hand I think they're overrated and are mostly just selling nostalgia at a premium price.

 

[Sakura]

They make the best games.

 

[Hookshot]

Because I've played them all my life, even thought I've had megadrives, ps2's, 360's etc I'll usually have the Nintendo as well. And I enjoy some of their franchises more than their competitors

 

[MagnesD3]

Game good, corp bad.

 

[Krathoon]

Nintendo is fine and dandy as long as you don't get on their bad side.

Comparing old vs new Nintendo games you have played, what's the biggest difference?

 

[bellome]

Their games remind me of my childhood.

 

[Robb]

I like their software and their crazy ideas and gimmicks. Doesn’t always pan out, but at least it’s something different to the rest most of the time.

 

[Fahdis]

Nintendo fucking sucks as a company and is anticonsumer af. Love Link and Zelda. Mario and Luigi are boring cunt designs with incredible games. I like Kirby. I think Metroid is ok. I love Fire Emblem. Pokemon was childhood. Its a mixed bag... I'm not gonna name every IP here.

 

[Fake]

Their games are the best of the business.

Who doesn't like Kirby

 

[ADiTAR]

Nintendo creates smart gameplay ideas in colorful worlds.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Because they make games far better than everyone else. For nearly 40 years now.

 

[graywolf323]

this, I like their games but the company frankly is one of the worst with how they handled Virtual Console among other things

Switch has honestly been one of their worst gens for corporate practices, for all the complaints about how PlayStation does stuff at least they eventually drop prices and have significant sales (and offer discounted upgrades for remasters)

Nintendo has been one of the greediest companies in gaming and yet get very little blowback over it due to the nostalgia of their franchises

 

[Kurotri]

I don't jive with Nintendo whatsoever but that's more because I'm not in their target audience. They do what they do well and I applaud them for it. They can be jerks sometimes though. But they were a big part of my childhood and I will always fondly look back on those times.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Monolith Soft and that's it really.

If they didnt acquire them I wouldn't have bought a Wii or Switch and maybe wouldn't buy a Switch 2.

 

[That Damn Kid]

They make a lot of quality games. Most of them don't feel rushed.

 

[Hookshot]

Comparing old vs new Nintendo games you have played, what's the biggest difference?

Well considering I'm playing a new top down Zelda I'd say the ability to run on the trees... but sensibly just the bigger scope and scale while retaining the identity, I went from 2d to 3d with these games and yet while the I did the same with things like Sonic, somehow Nintendo keeps me gripped while Sega lost me.

And while people say it's just rehashes of the same stuff, you really don't get that many mainline Marios or Zelda a console. I think it was 19 years between 2d Metroids and yet I was still there day one for it. Ubisoft probably did 19 Assassins creeds in that time.

Nintendo are by no means perfect though, there's always some little niggles that don't need to be there.

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

Games are fun and they're not obsessed with photorealistic graphics and their games being cinematic.

 

[Ogbert]

Broadly because they only really care about gameplay and the moment to moment experience of playing a game. They also place fun and play at the centre of their games.

There was a video kicking around about the difference between Eastern and Western game development. In the West, you would get 200 pages on art style, lore, narrative and world building. In the East, it’s a single page detailing the gameplay loop. I think Splatoon was pitched with three images.

Remember, Nintendo originally made toys.

 

[Guilty_AI]

In public, but in the nighttime you play Mario in your head

I play with Bowsette during nighttime in my head

 

[Ainem Enamas]

I prefer stylized and not photorealistic in this modern gaming age

 

[Majukun]

because they make fun to play games

and that's pretty much all I care about in games

I don't. I actually dislike Nintendo. I do like a lot of their games though.
