I don't think Nintendo should be discounted just because they put out a lot of games that we consider bad


Considering the topic is about devs who don't put out games that we consider bad, then yeah, I think it should

How could someone not consider QQ an internet meme? The term literally did not exist when I was growing up, and I don't think I've ever seen it used outside of the internet.

The topic is "Consistently good" not "consistently has not made bad games."

I can name plenty of companies who have consistently not made bad games. For instance, any company that has never released a game.


That said, I'd disqualify Nintendo because they aren't one company, they're like...10. Pick IS, EAD, Retro, R&D1, NST, Gamefreak, Hal, whatever. But don't pick Nintendo as a whole; that doesn't even make sense.

None of those are actually their own company though are they? Aren't they just different development teams that Nintendo owns? That'd be like counting the different sections of Blizzard as different developers.

First of all that's not what this topic is about. Second those games aren't bad they just aren't aimed at us. Nintendo doesn't expect the people that buy Zelda games to buy Wii fit they aren't trying to please us. The games are good for what they are. For gamefaqs specifically PC games are pretty unpopular relative to the gaming community as a whole. Does this mean all PC games are bad?

last i checked, QQ came from WoW and referred to mages.

as for nintendo think mc means more to the fact that nintendo isn't a single dev studio. same reasoning why konami, capcom, square, etc wouldn't really count.

as for what 'this topic is about,' topic says it all. developer. nintendo is a company which houses multiple developers. ergo, it shouldn't count.

I disagree it's not like Nintendo bought these developers or something. They created these teams, fund them, and in most cases have complete ownership/control of them. If you are going to divide it like this then you might as well try to find out the people who worked on specific games and divide it like that since that is what really determines the quality.

Nintendo as a developer is essentially all the EADs.

Just think of a game that just says Nintendo before the title screen and you're good.
Mainline Mario and most Zelda games are like this. Metroid games besides Primes and Other M too. Old Star Fox and maybe the Yoshi games.

I don't think Nintendo should be discounted just because they put out a lot of games that we consider bad since they are aimed at casuals. They still make more good games than any other company. Since the wii has came out we have gotten SMG1+2, Brawl, MP3, TP, Skyward Sword, 2 Kirby games, DKCR, and NSMBWii. They also have everything they have released on the DS including one of the best Mario Karts, some great Mario/Zelda games, and all the Pokemon games. Really what other company has an even remotely comparable list of games released since this gen has started?

brawl? really?

REALLY?

You can't deny Brawl is a high quality game. If you don't like it that's just because you like the gameplay from Melee so much.

All the people saying Intelligent Systems, aren't some of the early FEs not that good (specifically 2 seems to get hate from what I know), plus Shadow Dragon was a disaster. And then I don't have any clue whether or not Game Boy Wars is good

yes I can, what exactly is your criteria for "high quality" here? the game has a horrible design philosophy, has more exploits, most people seem to like the other games' single players more even etc

the only thing that brawl strictly does better than its predecessors is graphics and the hilarious thing about that is that half of the fanmade textures are better than the stock ones

half the hitboxes in brawl are grossly different than their animations too, you call this a high quality game?

Production values, amazing huge soundtrack, great cast, tons of extras. Find me someone who isn't a nerd who thinks Brawl is a bad game.

amazing huge soundtrack

it's huge but hardly amazing, most of the arrangements are worse than their originals, very disappointing considering the composers involved.

Find me someone who isn't a nerd who thinks Brawl is a bad game.

people who "aren't nerds" hate it for being "kiddy", be glad that at least I have legitimate criticism of it and am not one of those people

Brawl has some really nice music, but it's true, there should've been way better remixes considering the music team they had on that game.

MVC3 was a fighting game with truly great remixes.

Also, no matter how good Brawl's music was or wasn't, you couldn't choose any song for any stage, so that was annoying as well.
