I told ya what the deal with nintendo was and is. They understand what it means to be a brand, and they are strict about quality control. If it's not up to their standards (whatever those might be at the time) Its
and thats softened up a lot, they use to be absolutely brutal with it back in the NES days.
Everything they create they do there best to turn it into a brand of its own within the Nintendo brand. You aren't paying 50, 60 or 70 because of the game. You are paying it because of the brand, and that brand is associated with quality "fun and gameplay"
And just like with any other mainstream popular brand, there are a lot of people that hate nintendo but own almost every system or at least a few. You really have no choice because it's that popular. Nikkas will say how they hate jordans but there is always that pair that catches there interest like
At some point nintendo has something that peaks your interest and you are going to pay top dollar for it
There's a reason there are constant nike, puma adidas and other popular name brand that do cross products with nintendo but little, limited or none with MS and sony.
Nintendo is name brand, an OG, innovative, and popular from kids to adults and usually cheaper than any other video game system on the market.
Another huge thing is they typically look at gaming from a "Is it fun" point of view 1st instead of "how can we capture the hearts, or tell the story of" which is something most Triple A games do not do. Infact if you stripped the story down to the bare minimum on your Favorite AAA games and had to rely on the gameplay to carry you through the 10 hours of the game how many of you would make it past hour 3 or 4? If that....
Most nintendo games, the story is just a vehicle for the gameplay and not the other way around.
