as doing weird stuff is kinda their thing

Their corporate culture of doing weird stuff is an extension of their corporate culture of not trying to compete on cutting edge tech. Nintendo's hardware has always been a generation behind in actual performance, so they focus on making that stuff fun rather than competing on realism/performance.

Their biggest flop was when they strayed from that principle and released a VR headset 1995.

Yeah… there were a bunch of issues with the Virtual Boy.

A Sudo 3D experience on hardware that couldn’t handle 3D graphics, needed to be setup on a table, and a color palette that made the GameBoy seem high fidelity, never mind the red was horrid to stare at for too long.

It really was ahead of its time… in all the wrong ways.
