Nintendo/YMMV

Nintendo has earned a lot of opinions over the years. Here is a partial list of them.

Face of the Band: Among most people, Shigeru Miyamoto is the only employee of Nintendo. Only among core fans do Satoshi Tajiri and Masahiro Sakurai even get noticed.
Fandom Rivalry: Mario vs. Sonic the Hedgehog is probably the most famous example in video games.
It's the Same, Now It Sucks: Nintendo's Fan Dumb and Hate Dumb regularly accuse Nintendo of releasing the same IPs with nothing new.
Older Than They Think: The company goes as far back as 1889, when it was just selling hanafuda playing cards. Hanafuda cards still get referenced by the company from time to time, and are more recently Club Nintendo awards.
