    Nintendo caters to a captive audience of children of all ages that have exactly 0 critical thinking. More than half of Nintendo’s releases of the past decade were shovelware leveraging the fanbase for their characters, like Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. It’s the pepsi man equivalent of the modern era. For every masterpiece, there are two or three shovelware games with low production cost.

      Wow, that’s… quite dismissive of the maker of the best selling current console. The Nintendo Switch has sold more than twice the number as the PlayStation 5, which has sold about 3x more than the XBox Series consoles. If we look at total game sales, most of the top ones are Nintendo first-party or Nintendo exclusive titles. In fact, the only platform-exclusive titles on that list are Nintendo (except Gary’s mod on PC), and Nintendo has a disproportionate percentage of those most popular titles.

      Made by SEGA, not Nintendo.
