I was not saying it is a bad thing, but Nintendo is as guilty of it as anyone else for spinoffs, they do have a higher standard of quality as you mentioned. I just do not believe this notion Nintendo is holier then thou, they do a lot of stuff other publishers are attacked for (Lack of new IPs, countless spinoffs, price fixing etc) only they're games are very well made so often it's overlooked.
Well that's basically what I meant. Yes not all of the spinoffs are on par with their main games, but they aren't bad most of the time and do what they're meant to do, which is being fun. I wasn't treating nintendo as some holy grail, no company can be perfect for such a long time.
I think we can both agree however that if a new main game in an existing or new IP gets anounced, we know almost guaranteed it's gonna be a good game. And that is what I respect. Why I put emphasis on existing IP's is because i've seen various companies leading their IP's astray from their essence and being careless with it. Nintendo gets this. Metroid other m is the only mistake I can think of.
@Crackdude Well I am personally SEGA fan because they make great games within their own distinct identity and phylosiphy. I only started apreciating Nintendo recently so those 2 reasons don't apply to me at all.
