They do make great games and have a very controlling ecosystem, which honestly I have no problem with - it's their IP and they can do what they want with it. Much like Apple, their integration with hardware is quite tight and their first-party content is usually really well done. Miles better than the first-party outputs from Sony or Nintendo.
Apparently, though, their corporate culture is VERY Japanese and kind of crappy. I know someone who negotiated with them directly and although the gentleman was and remains a massive fan of Nintendo, the experience put a bad taste in his mouth.
Wish Nintendo would also listen to fans and give some of their lesser IP a fresh coat of paint. Can't believe it's been nearly 20 years since a new F-Zero, and probably over a decade since we've had a decent Star Fox. Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong, Metroid and Earthbound could all use some love, too.
