Nintendo is still stuck in the 80s (or more accurately, what Japanese call the Showa era due to it being heavily conservative), especially for its heavy-handed proprietary business practices where they use buildings full of lawyers to protect its intellectual properties as sacred objects. They'll have little to lose because they weaponized nostalgia to keep a lot of fans and mostly casuals paying for their products, even as they crush some fanworks as inimical to their profits.
