>>712611685 (OP)Nintendo was always "anime"
The "Nintendo" geriatric 40 somethings grew up on is a Nintendo filtered through a combination of localization changes, licensed media reflecting said localization changes and had to make up their own stuff out of a lack of material to draw from, select games not being released overseas out of concern for lacking appeal to western audiences,.....and Startropics
It's fine to have nostalgia over that era of Nintendo but it's stupid to think it was ever supposed to be the definitive portrayals
