Nintendo's claim that emulation 'stifles innovation' isn't just absurd—it's hypocritical (www.pcgamer.com)

When are they the best?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Well, I believe it's about the actual games they make. Many of the games they made (Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, etc.) are among the best games many people played.

Quality control.

Even if a particular game isn’t your cup of tea, you’ve gotta admit that it at least works as advertised. When was the last time Nintendo released something so buggy/incomplete that it was virtually unplayable?

To be fair, Nintendo releases games for a single console, and 1st party console games don't tend to be too buggy. Switch is also two generations behind, so it's more comparable to X360.

In any case, "not releasing completely broken games" should be the standard, and it would be if only people stopped preordering and falling for hype.
