Also polish. So many AAA titles have come out with so many bugs and performance issues they’re arguably just unfinished.

Nintendo’s games _work_, and, even though many would say they can overlook glitches, I believe that maintaining a “seamless” experience - not breaking the flow - is an much, much, more important part in maintaining the subconscious ‘this game is great!’ feeling than people give it credit for.

“It just works” is just as important a part of gaming as it is of other things.
