That viewpoint has completely worn off, and it’s almost vile the disconnect between their actual games and their position as a company. All Nintendo games have been stripped of their warmth for me, because how much love is really put into the product when it’s made by an almost fascist company: Aggressive, narcissistic, controlling of their own self image to prop themselves as the pinnacle, when in reality almost every action they take is not only anti-consumer, but anti-community.

Nintendo can take a seat next to Ubisoft and wait for the reaper for all I care. They can’t even do the one thing that Nintendo had in the bag: Local multiplayer. At this point I don’t think I’ll buy another Nintendo product, even their pro controllers (which are by far my favorite high-end controller design) are smoked by third party controllers without stick drift.

I can only hope that people vote with their wallets and stop supporting such draconian tactics.
