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.
