True, but the games remain quality. Theres a lot of IPs i played as a kid that i dont rock with anymore cuz of decline. Nintendo has been good about keeping quality devs at the company. See: Tears of the Kingdom. 37 year old IP and this latest release is a strong Game of the Year contender.
If you wanna know how Nintendo gets away with selling weak hardware and shytty online service, its all in the games. Polished, not buggy, and fun compared to most AAA releases.
100% True, but they get passes for shyt that others IPs don't because of the characters. They def get graded on a curve (not saying that the games aren't good).
