sorry, i should’ve said “was seen as the good guys”. nintendo’s been doing shitty stuff since at least the 80s
but that wasn’t the popular narrative back in the 2000s/2010s! just like valve now, people were more than willing to gloss over their shitty stuff because everyone else was worse. people worshipped iwata & reggie just like people worship gabe newell now.
nintendo has always had it’s weird fanboys, say what you want but their business strategy of re-releasing the same old shit for next generation of kids works.
plenty of people out there more than happy to consume mindlessly it seems
