Sega has made and published some great software, while Nintendo has focused more on hardware. I say it’s a tie.
Nintendo’s first party offerings are garbage. They can’t make a fun videogame to save their life, but the Switch is such a brilliant innovation of gaming convenience. It seems stupid, it’s just a tablet really, I can’t explain it. I fucking hated their wii consoles.
This is my Switch playtime...do you see many first party games there?
I mean, there’s donkey kong, but that’s retro...
Mario is now an adventure collectathon. Like an old Rareware game, I’m collecting hearts and stars and clovers in each level. Didn’t this used to be a platformer?
Zelda has no dungeons or the tool upgrades you used to find in each one. It’s a terrain demo with outfits you buy at the shopping center to keep warm. It’s like my mom made this game. Don’t forget your sweater honey, it’s too cold out for your adventure!
If you put a different protagonist in Nintendo games, with a different developer name on the package, nobody would give a shit.
They consolidated console and handheld hardware and yet still can’t release anything interesting at all to play.
