This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No their games lack innovation. The games are essentially the same as they were 3 decades ago but with better graphics.

That is a wild take.

Damn, what a wild take.

Nintendo might not be as innovative as some indie games but they constantly innovate and define new genres.

I mean, look at the consoles. Wii, Wii U, and Switch are all crazy innovative.

Some of their more innovative stuff might not be as popular, e.g., ARMS and LABO. Even their mainline series have some innovative mechanics for the genre.

Serious question. What company is more innovative than Nintendo?

I was referring more to their games. They haven’t defined a genre in over 25 years. I’m not saying they don’t make decent games. I’m saying the games are lack luster and more of the same of their decades old catalog.

Again not saying they don’t do some cool things from time to time but they do more turds than golden eggs.
