>>And why is it always Nintendo that's able to do something like this? Do they really have all the most creative and capable devs working for them?
first of all yes, because they recruit the absolute best students from the top japanese universities instead of some cunt with a phd in lesbian historiography like western studios do, but also they have something most devs today completely lack, which is a stable workforce

this ensures that oldheads who worked on all the hits that defined nintendo decades ago rise up the corporate ranks and mentor the younger generation, there's transmission of skills and knowledge

this is why all the faggots crying about nintendo having lost their way are so full of shit, they haven't changed their fundamental gamedesign philosophies since the 80s and that's why they're still successful
