Yes, completely.

Overpriced, they really like "you can only use our shit" on a lot of things

Clunky and childish, without ever feeling like a quality product for the price they ask for

Annoying elitist fans

They wish they had the market position of Apple. And they'd abuse it as hard. (NES days)

But yes.

The Apple Disney of gaming.

Yes I really like that a 2 year old game is still $60 and I can't play Metroid, Pikmin, Or Castlevania on this shitty, clunky handheld that I own that cost $300.

No. Apple is nowhere near what Nintendo has been doing since 1889.

You have the assumption the wrong way around.

Both Sony and Microsoft have coopted many of Nintendo's recent innovations. To deny that is just dumb.

Yeah, touch screens, motion controls, device-to-device communication, dual-screens, rumble feedback, early online gaming, passive handheld communication, glasses-less 3D, and whatever the hell you want to call the Switch, were all super outdated ideas that were from the past.

Like lol come on dude. Nintendo's main problem of being old-fashioned was for online infrastructure and HD, and that's about it. They're innovative to a fucking fault, a lot of the time.

You do realize that Sega Pushed Nintendo to make a Disc based system, that they backed out of, and it became the Playstation?

And that Microsoft picked up a former Sega employee to help develop the original Xbox.

The touch screen is just standard nowadays. Motion Control, The Dreamcast had. Device to Device, The Dreamcast had. Dual Screen, w/e. Rumble feedback..maybe? It thought that was PS1. But the Saturn had more or less created what we know today. Early online gaming? That is the Dreamcast. Handheld com..don't know. 3D Glasses, The Sega Master System had that. And the switch is just a glorified handheld.

Nintendo is company that never lets their games go on sale and they sell overpriced controllers with major defects that break easily and don't give two shits about fixing and fans defend them to teeth thinking Nintendo actually cares about its consumers. If Apple is like that then I guess they are.

Nintendo did touch-screen gaming before it was standard on smartphones.

Motion Control, The Dreamcast had.

Not in any meaningful way that caught on or actually mattered to 99% of its games.

SiO4 posted...
Device to Device, The Dreamcast had.

That's nice. The Game Boy was doing it 10 years earlier.

SiO4 posted...
Rumble feedback..maybe? It thought that was PS1.

Nope. First major console to implement rumble feedback was the Nintendo 64.

SiO4 posted...
Early online gaming? That is the Dreamcast.

Nope. Nintendo beat them to online gaming in 1995 with the SatellaView on Super Nintendo.

SiO4 posted...
3D Glasses, The Sega Master System had that.

3D glasses is glasses-less 3D? Are you high?

SiO4 posted...
And the switch is just a glorified handheld.

A glorified handheld that's modular with removable controllers, that connects to a television,with different run-states depending on where it's playing. If that ain't innovative, I dunno what the fuck is lol.

Point being, Nintendo ain't perfect. They do a lot of stupid shit. But calling them stuck in the past is objectively fucking wrong lol. Like I said, they're ancient when it comes to online infrastructure and they were bad with HD standards, but that's about it.

So was Apple at one point. I-Pods, Macbook Air, I-Phones. Apple love them or hate them has come out with some of the best equipment at one point. Course, this was before Jobs died and it got ran by marketing. Jobs might have been nuts, but at least he gave a shit about his products.

a media device that lets you store videos/music on it to watch for later. Think I-Phone but a much bigger storage capacity and doesn't have the ability to call people, though newer generations let you connect to the internet.
