I think it’s important to separate Nintendo’s legal department from product development. While the products are expensive, they are high quality and are generally enjoyed by their target demographic. Their legal department is a supervillain, sure, but that’s a separate thing entirely from the product development side IMO.
I understand the sentiment, but why is this an important separation? The legal department speaks on behalf of Nintendo more than any other branch in the company. It’s all a trickle effect from the higher ups and the type of culture they want to develop. As a consumer, whether or not their actions come from legal or product development, it should still reflect on the company as a whole and impact my decisions on what to spend my cash on.
You can obviously decide to buy whatever you want.
My point is that their legal team doesn’t seem to impact their product development team much at all. Nintendo develops their IPs pretty consistently, so you’re unlikely to get into a situation where they just sit on something and sue the crap out of anyone who tries to use their stagnant IPs.
Compare to Disney, who is more litigious and doesn’t do a lot with their core IPs (when’s the last time you saw Mickey Mouse star in a high profile film or game?).
If you like Nintendo products, the good news is they’ll continue creating them. The bad news is mostly around preservation, Nintendo really wants you to hang on to old hardware if you want to play old games. They’re also very touchy about how their IPs are represented in the media, so be very careful when you use them in a YT video or something.
