Why I personally prefer Nintendo

Based

There's something about Snoyboy comics that is so awfully insipid. "You play manchild games, now I'm going to slit your throat" isn't a joke, doesn't make you look cool and based nor is it graphic enough to pass as shock value, it's just deranged and weird. Goldface is pretty much the one and only exception, those are pretty fucking funny.

>has some of the best exclusives
>splatoon
kek

the same fucking games, over and over again, with little to no variation, for decades, without even the facade of graphical improvements to make them feel new.

Ironically, while Nintendo uses the same IPs over and over they tend to change more each generation than other companies games using new IPs do. Mario Odyssey is way more different from Mario Sunshine than Last of us 2 is from Uncharted. Paper Mario the Origami King is more different from PM64 than Sekiro is from Demon Souls.

lol

dude, what about the differences between Mario Kart and Mario Soccer.

>splatoon
Well yes, Splatoon is a very good game, with the gyros and whatnot bringing an intuitive control scheme for console shooters (lack of mouse) that's slowly becoming the norm.
Inking as a way to formally visualize map control brings a new layer of strategy in objective-based shooter games. And the many gameplay interactions that happens with the ink add depth to the game.
Lastly Splatoon touches upon serious themes like climate change inequalities (some are more affected than other an lose their homes or access to modern comfort) [Sunken scrolls], racism, nationalism and radicalisation trough music [main story], blind consumerism and energy waste [online], immigration: the reasons to escape and the risks of using smugglers [Octo DLC], child labor and workers exploitation [salmon run].

>best exclusives
Not since the death of the original ds
>most iconic consoles
Doesnt say anything about quality, just memorable designs. The wii was a waglan shovelware system with the occasional cool quirky game that devs flipped to coin to put on the wii instead of ps2, the wii u had the most forgettable marios, a single cross gen zelda, and no third party support. The switch has games but no heavy hitter exclusives. The nintendo handhelds fair better, 3ds library was alright but nothing special
>can be taken anywhere
It is the least comfortable handheld ever. Its a fucking skateboard deck. And if you mean it can be carried to a buddies house easily its not much harder to pack any other console.

Tl;dr nintendo peaked 20 years ago

>20 years ago
>2002
>Wind Waker (clearly rushed)
>Sunshine (weakest of the 3D platformers)
>Metroid Fusion (good but flawed)
>GameCube
Nice "peak" bro.

Both are soul in their own way

Once it is no longer possible to purchase software in Nintendo eShop on Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, many classic games for past platforms will cease to be available for purchase anywhere. Will you make classic games available to own some other way? If not, then why? Doesn’t Nintendo have an obligation to preserve its classic games by continually making them available for purchase?

>Across our Nintendo Switch Online membership plans, over 130 classic games are currently available in growing libraries for various legacy systems. The games are often enhanced with new features such as online play.

>We think this is an effective way to make classic content easily available to a broad range of players. Within these libraries, new and longtime players can not only find games they remember or have heard about, but other fun games they might not have thought to seek out otherwise.

>We currently have no plans to offer classic content in other ways.
