Master Chief in Smash confirmed! /s

For real though the support Microsoft has given on Switch has been really awesome so far.

He ain't wrong, Nintendo are the market leader for a reason. That reason being Golden Sun.

I don't think anyone could credibly dispute that. Mario is Mr. Video Games.

Tis a true statement. Can you imagine this industry without Nintendo first party games?

I like it when people from competing companies give praise to each other, it's a far cry from the days of Sega and Nintendo (Mostly Sega) sniping at each other in the 90s.

Damn, that time really fueled the console war idea.

And he ain't wrong, I don't think anybody who enjoys videogames would in their right mind want them to disappear. Their great output is a huge part of the reason I believe you always need a Nintendo console to complement whatever other platform you're using (be it PC, Xbox or PS).

And to most I would say. Sony nowhere near have the calibre of first party portfolio that penetrates so many levels of culture. And I like Sony stuff.

How could they when the biggest titles in their portfolio are all more or less samey in terms of genre?
And I do like Sony stuff, too.

But even Kratos has to bow down the moustache-wearing Italian, sorry.

I mean Nintendo is getting dang theme parks now at Universal properties; they are by far the most relatable Gaming company for people, especially outside of Gaming circles.
