What makes Nintendo's games and hardware so special?
>>12929440They're good.
They're not special, you're just mentally ill and were in need of a cult to give meaning to your meaningless life.Also you look like this.
>>12929445What?
>>12929440They have soul
>>12929440Because they design and build both the hardware and software in-house in lockstep.
>>12929515>in-houseOh? Which sub-section of Nintendo made Castlevania?
>>12929515They are different teams jockeying for power. They all hate each other. >>12929440The handhelds are good hardware because Yokoi was a genius and even the GBA and DS was influenced by him. The rest of the hardware objectively sucks. The best they did was the NES where they used (mostly) off the shelf parts. The other consoles are just a card company trying to pull a computer out of their ass and it shows. The SNES was such a disaster hardware-wise it let fucking SEGA of all companies be competitive. If they had the skill to launch the SNES with the specs of the Megadrive, Sega would have been crushed just as badly as the NES crushed the Master System. And if they had the competence to create their own CD drive, there would be no Sony consoles either. Nintendo went from having a monopoly to being a distant third in the Gamecube era, off of them being bad at making hardware.As for software, I'm also partial to their first party NES games. After that, everything is dumbed down and easy. They make software for kids and nongamers. For the SNES, 64, and Gamecube external studios like Square, Rare, and Capcom do the majority of the heavy lifting for me. I also liked their first party GB games but other than that, Nintendo games kind of suck if you're a hardcore gamer.
>>12929529OP said "Nintendo's" so Castlevania isn't included. Just so you know, that funny looking vertical dash thing is called an apostrophe and when combined with something and an "s" follows it that implies possession, so we're talking about things Nintendo produced specifically. Hope that helps, fag.

Hope that helps, fag.Wow, it's a good thing my response was to your retarded over-generalizing post, and not the OP directly, huh? Funny how that works. That's called "reading in context."
>>12929543The context is literally OP's post. There's that apostrophe again.
>>12929442It's this. They've consistently created polished, high quality games for decades. It's no surprise people love Nintendo.
>>12929545No, actually, the context is YOUR post. Wrong again. Can't catch a break, huh?
>>12929550>actual retardMy post was a direct response to OP. Seriously, are you special needs?
>>12929449>duuhh what??Retard pretending to not understand anything. Retard.
Nothing. After the N64 they appealed to poor people. And ripped them off.
>>12929440>Shiturn outsold the N64 in Japan.Shiturn is a greater turd than the Turd64.
>>12929442Fpbp/thread
>>12929440Super Mario 64 and SMB were by far the best games ever released at the time of their releases. They’ve been coasting on that and have never come close ever since. >muh sunshineOutclassed by Rayman 2 three years earlier.
>>12929625NES is peak Nippon.N64 is peak gaijinslop.
>>12929440Nothing.>Genesis mogged NES/SNES>PSX mogged N64>PS2/Dreamcast mogged Gaycube
Do your Nintendo tapes really last five years? Does it matter if you set them on chairs or if you put the controllers on the floor?
>>12929440American Evangelicals
>>12929440hard to emulate, snes and n64 infamous for not running full speed
>What makes being a furrfag/scientologist/nintendo fan/mlpfag so special?Being an assault-tier proselytizing member of a cult isn't about being special.
>>12929440The hardware is special because of the games. The games are special because they are literally made with love.
>>12929685>Rayman 2Aristocratic taste
>>12929440>What makes Nintendo's games so special?The 1st party games are usually extremely well made generational stand outs.>what makes the hardware so special?Meh. The games are really what matters. Make great titles and gamers will put up with shit. Just look at the 64 controller for example.
>>12929973American evangelicals thought all video games were satanic because Joe Lieberman said Night Trap, Mortal Kombat and Lethal Enforcers would turn kids into murderers.
>>12930646They liked Nintendo though. It was the Disney of video games 1985-1995.
>>12930685Yeah, worth noting during those hearings about violent or explicit video games nintendo was full on attack against Sega and basically the entire medium. They basically sold everyone out to the US government, put on a ridiculous performance about refusing to have these games on their platform while Sega argued that it's an artistic medium and they've had a ratings system for years.
>>12930694and then they immediately reversed course and released mk2 uncensored
>>12930740No, they were just massive hypocrites about it lol. Total scum company.
>>12929689Nintendo’s biggest mistake was focusing on the western market, like "we need to make games for the kids who eat Happy Meals at their local McDonald's."All downhill from there.
>>12930685They thought disney was satanic too, mongoloid
>>12930807disney is satanic tho
>>12929440Because Nintendo largely targetted children in advertising and 1st party content in order to groom a future audience that trusts them implicitly, and they do so generation after generation.Judging by their relatively consistent success for over 40 years, I'd say they know what they're doing.
>>12930807>They thought disney was satanic too
>>12930832They just copied Disney's playbook, down to the theme parks and appealing to adults with nostalgia.
>>12930843this ain't about Disney, this is about Nintendo, fuck off weirdo
>>12930843Sega had amusements parks and arcades
>>12929440Manchild fanbase who desperately cling onto the experiences they had as small children instead of maturing into adults and learning to grow and appreciate new and different things.
