Nintendo has the fans it does because they are better. I grew up on Sega and Playstation and recognized that Nintendo always beat the shit out of everyone.
>Nintendo games ARE generally better
Being honest i find more fun in playing spin-offs and even main games from Nintendo IPs made by another studio than the main games made by themselves, like Pokemon Ranger, Mario & Luigi, the Capcom Zeldas and the 2D Metroid from Mercury (which only lose to Super Metroid imo).
Nintendo games typically appeal to Nintendo fans which is why they think they are better. It's confirmation bias.
is not wrong, most of Nintendo games are too safe to fail because they're designed to sell for Nintendo fans, not to experiment with a new idea on the top of a existing one.
They're the technocrats Zelda: "technically" good, full of mechanics, but with no sense of pacing, no sense of balancing, no sense of structure. It's all quantity over quality.
This. The Oracle games are mainly Capcom taking elements from all five prior games at that point (well, maybe not Z2) and mashing them together with no sense of cohesion.
Minish Cap is overrated
The Oracle games did not get the popularity they deserved, but I think they are properly appreciated by those that did play them. Looking back on them, I think they had a bit too much backtracking, but they're still very solid.
Neither; they are as acclaimed as they need to be. Make a better post next time.

You're right, but they're sort of wrongly seen as 'lesser classics' compared to LA and LttP when they're respectively better than both.
>Nintendo fans prefer Nintendo made games to other games that are objectively superior
Tune in for more shocking news at 11!
Nintendo games ARE generally better, but this is just one of those rare exceptions where someone literally managed to beat them at their own game.

There's that confirmation bias again
I want you to sit down for an hour and think about how stupid the post you made is
I think you need to sit down for an hour and understand how precisely on point it is.
Truth.

So now the goalposts for the Nintendo-deranged console warrior have been moved to "Nintendo character game not directly made by Nintendo"?
t. Incredible lack of self-awareness
I commonly see them mentioned, specifically Ages, as the best 2D Zelda games. I tend to agree with this, although LttP and Minish Cap are very pretty.
There is no such thing as overrated or underrated.
He gets it
hey uh... you said the thread was over but its still going?

Oracle/Ages are underrated. Minish Cap isn't and is properly embraced by Zelda fans.

>better than handhold me to the past
Oh wow
I just started playing Ages on 3DS. Does anyone else think they feel like 3D games in 2D? They would really do well with a 3D remake honestly.
