No company in video games is committed to doing things its own way quite like Nintendo.

In the months and weeks leading up to the Nov. 19 release of Rockstar Games’ “Grand Theft Auto VI” — the most anticipated title of the decade and potentially the most expensive piece of media ever produced with a budget rumored to exceed $1 billion — numerous studios postponed the release of new games to avoid being overshadowed.

As expected, though, Nintendo marched to the beat of its own drum, releasing not only an exceptional remake of the action-adventure classic “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” on Nov. 5 but also “Nintendo Switch Sports Resort,” the latest entry in its motion-controlled sports simulator franchise, on Oct. 22.
