If you're not putting Nintendo up there either with or above Rockstar, you're effing high.

Rockstar themselves would put Nintendo beyond them.

Greatest video game company in the world, by far.
Recency bias had you make this thread.

Nintendo has been brilliant for decades breh.

You don't have today's videogame market without Nintendo. They created the game save, d-pad, 3rd person camera, entire genre's.

nikka not a single employee at Rockstar would rate themselves over Nintendo :deadmanny:


Go check any (and i do mean ANY) top 100 games list of all time and its basically a whose-who of Nintedndo classics. You won't s single one without multiple zelda titles, multiple mario titles, Super Metroid, etc.

If you are talking All-Time, its not a conversation. Limit your scope and you can make a compelling argument:ld:

Breh i just looked at IGNs top 100 games...

22 of the games are either Nintendo first part or games that Nintendo helped devolop.

22 out of 100... more than 1 out of every 5 was made by Nintendo.

Out of the top 5, 4 are Nintendo first party.


Breh delete this thread, you embarrassing yourself :mjlol:

They had a spark when they first started.
Now they are basically making open world games, with middling stories that feature an even more middling online experience that they sell in game currency out of....that's it.

RDR2 and GTA 5 Online will print them money until they make GTA6 and they'll focus on keeping the online micro transactions gravy train rolling.

You'll never get another Rockstar Tennis venture. You'll never get another Midnight Club like experience, A Bully type game or even something as controversial as Manhunt. You'll get GTA with shyt music, retarded over the top characters who are either bombastic or woefully depressing......with online transactions, that's it.

San Andreas was their Magnus opus and GTA 4 with the story arching DLC was their swan song.

It's all shark cards and gold bar sales from here on out.

Nintendo are the OG’s.

NES, SNES, N64 etc. Very long lasting IP’s Mario, Zelda etc.

Would still play GTA over them tho but that’s just me. :mjgrin:

Just some info:



Game quality
For 2006, the games review aggregation site Metacritic gives the average of EA games as 72.0 (out of 100); 2.5 points behind Nintendo (74.5) but ahead of the other first-party publishers Microsoft (71.6) and Sony (71.2). The closest third-party publisher is Take-Two Interactive (publishing as 2K Games and Rockstar Games) at 70.3. The remaining top 10 publishers (Sega, THQ, Ubisoft, Activision, Square Enix) all rate in the mid 60s. Since 2005, EA has published eight games that received "Universal Acclaim" in at least one platform (Metacritic score 90 or greater): Battlefield 2, Crysis, Rock Band, FIFA 12, FIFA 13, Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3, and Dragon Age: Origins.
