I don't know how the fuck they did it back in the day. And how little credit they actually got. Constantly lambasted for having No Games while their output was spectacular.
1996-1998:
Super Mario 64
Pilotwings 64
Mario Kart 64
Wave Race 64
Star Fox 64
Ocarina of Time
1080
F-Zero X
The collective gaming media: "No Games"
2025-2027:
Mario Kart
Donkey Kong Bananza
***That's literally it because:
Kirby: Sora Ltd / Bandai Namco
Hyrule Warriors: Koei Tecmo
Pokopia: Koei Tecmo
Metroid: Westerners + Switch 1 game
Pokemon Z-A: Game Freak + Switch 1 game
Pokemon 2027: Game Freak
Yoshi games: Made by another dev
Nintendo themselves - the salarymen in Kyoto - have made Two Games for Switch 2. And they're both basically Switch 1 tier games.
