  Nintendo also owns the rights to platformers, racing games, and rpgs. Tough luck, that's just how it is.

      Nintendo deserves a lot of shit for their business decisions, but not for their art directions. windwaker and sunshine still look good to this day by simply appling higher resolutions and some anti aliasing. No game with “realistic graphics” has ever stood the test of time.
