For all the flaws in how Nintendo treats fans of their IP, the games they put out themselves are consistently fun. Mario Kart still feels like Mario Kart even decades later, and not in stagnating/bad way.
Nintendo as a company is also extremely odious but that is a given of all companies these days so i give em a pass.
And, breath of the wild etc mechanics are almost all pulled directly from other open world games although they were a first for nintendo.
