How Nintendo is still in business is beyond me.
They are adversaries to their own customers, aggressively pursue meaningless IP violations, aggressively decrease the value of their own products (Wii store anyone?) and failed to innovate in decades pushing out the same trite and formulaic games over and over again.
Probably becasue they serve a global market beyon internet trends and have spent decades investing in their IP's, unlike many studios who are one mid release away from shutting down and having their IP hoarded by a business not interested in development.
And it's clearly not a fluke. Splatoon was a huge hit out the gate despite launching on Nintendo's worst system, in 2016. Nintendo truly does house and foster some of the best designers in the industry and its a bit of a shame to chastise them indirectly due to business decisions. A factor I'm sure every creative business can agree is a constant clash.
