What? Nintendo has always had this, and still does. Even with the Wii and Wii U (granted, the Wii U is kind of lacking in the AAA title selection, but it does have its gems). Even with the 3DS/2DS. They have been thumbing their nose at trying to pack the most powerful graphics hardware into their consoles, in favor of making games fun. Hell, Nintendo makes games specifically for parties. Quite enjoyable if you've ever bothered with a group of people...
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
