As many can agree, there's something magical and homey about sitting down upon your good ol' couch and popping in a fantastic Nintendo game, no matter the system! But why are Nintendo's productions so well known for their nostalgic feel?

Is it the storyline, unique thematic elements, characters, graphics, etc.

I was stumped.

This past week, I threw every popular Nintendo title I currently own in a neat stack on my floor, and played through each one! Some of the list included the Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi and Metroid trilogy, a few Kirby titles such as Dream course, Dream Land 1&2, Nightmare in Dreamland, Amazing Mirror, and air ride and quite a bit of Mario games consisting of Super Mario World, 64 and Galaxy 1 & 2, only to name a few!

It was a long road, until I could finally put my finger on an explanation! A few moments after the final battle between Bowser and Mario in Paper Mario 64, I had an epiphany bright as day: no dialogue.



Think about it: most Nintendo heros never actually respond with words or text bubbles of any sort, only physical actions. Such as: a slight arm wave, the arch of an eyebrow, a smile, a frown, or occasionally a brief yell or gleeful cheer, but the individual your onscreen character carries on a conversation with always seems to understand perfectly what you're asking, or stating!

Although this aspect is looked down upon by many core gamers today, I feel this unique trait of most Nintendo Heros gives their titles a perfect balance, and a nostalgic feel no matter the age of the game.  
 
Of course there are so many more amazing qualities Nintendo games offer which give certain people a homey feel. However my opinion stands, although it's crazy.
