If you are surprised that Doom runs on NS, you are part of the problem.

When people are surprised that Doom, "a game like Doom," or a game with good graphics like Doom, runs on NS, it's really telling how they associate Nintendo only with simple, bright, and colorful graphics. It's a backhanded compliment - as if Nintendo-systems are not capable of stuff like this, or are not supposed to be capable of stuff like this. It's like when someone says you are "blank," for a "blank" person, as if you are not supposed to be "blank," because you are this race, that gender, or whatever sexual orientation you are. That is also surreptitiously implying that even though you are "blank," you can never be as good at that "blank" as someone of another race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

You, who spout such sayings like "Wow. I'm so surprised that Doom runs on NS," are part of the problem, or are simply indicative of the general perception of Nintendo by the populace at large. You did not mean to reveal how prejudiced you are, but you did, and now you must own up to it, and learn from it.

I grew up in an age when Nintendo got all the multiplatform third-party games. They weren't just relegated to colorful games like Golf Story and Stardew Valley. This brings me to my next point. I hate how the most successful games on NS are bright and cheery games like Golf Story and Stardew Valley. I saw Doom on the eShop-chart for one week, and then it dropped off. Games like Doom need to do better.

I don't limit Nintendo to such immature stereotypes, and so I expect games like Doom to come out, and I expect them to look at least as good as they do. Unfortunately, some people don't believe something is possible until they see it for themselves. Let us believe more things without visual proof and look to a new age of possibilities.
