Nintendo has become an identity to many simple adults. Just like Disney.

We don’t have to insult them by calling them simple. Some people just really love Nintendo stuff and have the money to buy it. It’s not like they actually make really shitty games that you can’t understand why anyone would like them. Their other practices are what call them into question.

Y'know, I was gonna rant about how bad Nintendo's gotten, but I figured keeping it short and sweet is better. I absolutely do insult people buying and praising Nintendo games. These are the same type of people who will turn around and say that PC gaming is too expensive, when they've probably spent triple that in games on the Wii, Switch, and Switch 2 now. Nintendo has become the lowest entry into the gaming ecosphere, which is sad for a number of reasons, but it has absolutely become the home for the lowest common denominator of people, where ideas from the industry at large are regurgitated with brand labels and people praise them because they haven't seen the original form of those ideas.

I am a PC gamer. The only consoles I’ve purchased in the past 20 years have been Nintendo, it doesn’t take a genius to understand why.
This is the same case for pretty much every PC gamer I know IRL.
Comparing Nintendo to other game companies is like comparing ATVs to cars. They’re both still vehicles. Both have 4-wheels, an engine, gears, etc. But it would take a special kind of idiot to look at both and come to the conclusion that the only reason people buy ATV’s is because they’re too afraid or inexperienced to buy a regular car.
A PC can do anything an XBox or Playstation can do. It can not do everything a Wii or a Switch can do without some finicky emulation software and specialized hardware.

Nintendo was always the lowest entry. They refused to come to the US market until Atari seppuku’d themselves and there was no competition. It has always been this way. They are family games aimed at family people. LoZ is the hardest they go into less casual gaming and its still really casual. No idea where this statement came from. They were the Marvel of videogames before Marvel earned that title for their movies.

Kirby Air Riders was worth every penny, I've waited 22 years for that sequel.

The internet loves to shit on Nintendo, but they make incredible games.
