Does Nintendo make the best gaming systems?

In this Answerer’s opinion, definitely. A lot of people tend to write off their games as “childish”, but their goal is to make fun games. I love the way that some Nintendo games just take one main mechanic and find as many variations on its application as possible.

A perfect example would be the new function given to Mario in his newest adventure on the Switch, Super Mario Odyssey. In this game, Mario has the ability to throw his hat, which on paper seems relatively simple, but in application proved to be a brilliant idea. He can throw his hat to create a new jumping platform, hit blocks, or even take control of an enemy! The amount of possibilities is incredible, and the way the developers made that one mechanic so fun and integral to the overall experience is just one of many examples I could give about Nintendo’s genius game design.
