My theory about why Nintendo is overemphasized in the retro gaming community is because Nintendo is the one giant corporation that markets its history.

Microsoft doesn’t. They don’t even mention the MSX. You’d think they’d talk about how they incubated titles like Metal Gear and Dragon Quest—but no. They ignore this part of their history.

EA is more absurd. Shouldn’t they be bragging about bringing us M.U.L.E., Archon, Dr. J vs. Larry Bird, and Skate or Die? No—they won’t even re-release the first Madden game.

Warner Bros. Games owns the entire Midway and Atari Games library. And the only franchise from that library that they care about is Mortal Kombat. But re-release Paperboy? Only in your paper dreams.
