  While I agree, Nintendo as a corporate entity sucks major balls, “nothing of value in at least a decade” is patently false.

  • One of the best selling consoles of all time that also signalled a hardware paradigm shift to popularize hybrid consoles/handhelds
  • BOTW
  • TOTK
  • Mario Odyssey
  • Metroid Dread
  • Smash Ultimate
  • Fire Emblem
  • Xenoblade

  Like, yuzu wouldn’t have been such a smash hit if Nintendo was releasing value-less titles.

    I agree. The game development side of Nintendo are top notch, and care a lot about quality game design, fun, replayability, all the good stuff. These people do good work.

    But the corporate/legal side of Nintendo, they are indeed raging assholes.

    If you beleive them, as far as I recall, Valve has said that they were working on the Steam Deck before the switch was revealed.

      This might shock you, but Nintendo was also working on the Switch before it was revealed

    While I agree, its still his opinion if Nintendo did anything of value. BTW I played Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom this year on Yuzu. And I’m proud of it. Great games, although with big problems. I would add Super Mario Maker 2 and Super Mario Wonder to the list, and maybe Bayonetta 3, Lugi’s Mansion 3, Splatoon 3, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and probably a few more.
