They’re not that consumer hostile most of the time, except those quirky Japanese sensibilities, which there is a lot of but it’s not malicious in intent imo. They are absolutely horrible to anyone who pirates their games, but those are not their customers.

Sure, but my biggest problem with them is how expensive their games are and how they never go on sale. $70 was already pushing it, but now they might be asking $90 for physical game cards. Screw that.

They don’t go on sale because Nintendo games are not disposable like n-th instalment of Call of Duty or NFL.

They sell gameplay and not graphics and that’s timeless. If it was worthless people wouldn’t be so angry with them for going after emulators. There are also no games over $80 announced and this time digital copies are cheaper while still shareable (although no reselling).

No, they keep rehashing the same like 4 IPs over and over, feeding off the nostalgia kick people get out of their favorite childhood video game releasing on a modern console

Tell me you don’t play Nintendo games without playing Nintendo games.
