Idk how people still stomach Nintendo. They get 1 decent exclusive every other year, while the rest of the time, they are overcharging for all their garbage products. Most anticonsumer, anticompetition developer on the market that releases products that lag behind the rest of the industry by 5-10 years.

They crush emulation and antique game preservation sites as a hobby.

How is yet another Mario game worth coming back to?

1 decent exclusive every other year

Absolutely hyperbole. Just last year, we got Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Wonder, Pikmin 4, and Advance Wars Reboot. Doesn’t matter if these aren’t your kind of games, they sold well, were critically acclaimed, and won awards.

lag behind the industry by 5-10 years

For graphics, sure. For creativity, accessibility, and all the other things that matter in video games? They lead the industry

While I agree that the above commented is in order. It does not lead the industry in all other things. They are pretty mixed with performance and their online is pretty awful in comparison to other options. Accessibility is an awkward choice of words since I expect you mean accessible to ages because it also has pretty bad accessibility options. While people often mock Sony for playing it safe with it's cinematic games it also feels like Nintendo's IPs have slowly been conglomeration into a mould over the switches life.
