Any weird/controversial opinions? I'll start. Before the remake, the best version of Resident Evil 4 was the Wii version. The Wiimote controls old Resi's tank controls better than any other controller at the time. The PC version had a bunch of little bugs and detractors that the Wii version just doesn't have.

I'll extend this by saying that the Wiimote is actually pretty damn good for shooters, and particularly good for accessibility. Not having to cramp up my hands to press buttons is awesome for having arthritis. Aiming with the Wiimote and moving with the nunchuck just feel really natural, you barely have to move your fingers for anything.

Nintendo games are great FIRST games.

If Zelda is the first action RPG you ever played, it will forever hold a warm spot in your heart.

Same for Smash Brothers and fighting games, Mario Kart and racing games, or Pokemon and turn based RPGs.

But if you aren't 10 years old or have played literally any other games, they really aren't very good.

Great hot take. I sort of agree for something like Pokemon. But I'm surprised you think this way for all Nintendo games. In the world of 3D platformers for example, I'd say it's pretty hard to find something better than Mario Galaxy, or 3D World. Same goes for Mario Kart. It's got crisp controls, and the last game in particular had great track design. I wouldn't say Wipeout is a very apt comparison given it's not a kart racer.
