Nintendo Fans Get *** Raped and Thank Nintendo for the Privilege

[psychic_dream]

This is becoming like an old cliché at this point, but Nintendo is, I believe, the only console maker still focused on making fun, intuitive games. Just look at what the competitors are doing. One is pushing monetization schemes like loot boxes and microtransactions in shooters and trying to turn gaming into the next Netflix, while the other has shifted focus from its original audience to making glorified walking simulators with cutscenes galore. There’s been a shift in who video games are made for since legacy media started replacing the term 'gamer' with 'player.' But yeah, I don’t get why responsible adults get so riled up about defending a multibillion-dollar corporation, as if it were a personal attack against them.

No one really makes games like Nintendo. Can you name ANY platformer released in the past 10 years on Steam that even comes close to the quality of a Mario or Donkey Kong?. What about Mario Kart?, or Kirby?. There may be some equivalent to those games, but are they even half as good?. This doesn't really excuse the aggressive monetization we're seeing here, but Nintendo's current management knows they hold a monopoly on the market and are price gouging because of it. Their games cost a fraction of the money to produce, yet now they are charging more than their competition?. The same competition that spend $200-$300 Million per-game?. It only makes sense when you look at this through the corporate lens.

No platformer was ever good. It's a proto genre like adventure games that existed as stepping stones to real genres.
The only reason they're still made is because the simplicity of them appeals to normal 3 year olds and 28 year old reddit moderators.

They're enjoyable games, not all of them mind you, but stuff like OG Crash and Spyro have held up very well. Platformers are more than the sum of their parts.

There are tons. Just ask @aweigh.

It's nice that they are finally releasing a patch for Tears of the Kingdom so it will run at more than 20 fps only a short 2 years later. Have been waiting to buy this because it was unplayable before. Also looking forward to Metroid Prime 40 years of dev time. Not sure about the use of a joycon as a mouse from the couch.

I wish the launch price of the hardware was higher to be honest. That way one could just go into a store to buy it instead of pre-order nonsense.

Also not sure why anyone is crying about games being $10 more. Inflation on grocery prices has been significantly more. I guess Nintendo fans have a mother that buys their food.

Anyone who enjoys a Nintendo game is a manchild. All their games are made for babies, and I feel infantilized for having played them.

Play Rayman Origins and Legends.

Am I the only crazy one who doesn't like any of Nintendo games and who doesn't understand what is so special about them?

Haven't bought or played a Nintendo game since about 1996, but I do remember some of them very fondly

[traxtan]

Don't forget Nintendo has a legal slave (named Bowser lol) who will get his wages garnished for the rest of his life.

Fromsoftware fans are suitably masochistic enough to enjoy this rape. Bloodborne 2 (with vampires) as a Switch 2 exclusive.

it's some crappy multiplayer service game, not the actual new souls game from fromsoft.

Really? lol wtf are they doing.

PvP in their games sucks for actual competitive gameplay. It's always about exploiting bugs & unbalanced features.

I am the target audience, The switch was the only reasonable console with it's way of game preservation. I already hated nintendo online (and never purchased it) and now this.

Well, it's nintendo they are messing up basically every second launch, good luck to them.

SNES was a pretty decent successor

Yeah, having kids is truly embarrassing.

With this ridiculous pricing, there'll be more people willing to spend the effort to make emulators.
Hopefully it get cracked and emulators get made ASAP.

Yeah sure，the average switch user is certainly capable of making an emulator from scratch

Nintendo consoles get emulators way sooner than all the others for some reason

Really? I thought the Switch took pretty long to emulate? Not really followed it, just remembered people were waiting quite long for the first to come out.

Well when I used DS, 3DS and Switch emulators a few years ago, I read that the PS4 ones still had majority of its games unplayable. And I haven't even heard of Xbone emulators.

[Fox1]

On the positive I'm surprised they kept the physical cartridges around, and the backwards compatibility. I thought this would be full digital and gamepass-style **** initially

[KnightoftheWind]

The only decent Kart racer on PeeSee is Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, a 12 year old game. Platformers?, trannyslop like A Hat in Time or worse remakes of Crash and Spyro. There are games that simply have no equivalent on other platforms. Some like Pokemon, which are babby's first RPG, have vastly superior replacements. But some do not.

Unless Sony ports Astro Bot to PC, I'd be tempted to emulate stuff like Mario because they're fun, cozy games. Or buy them at a discount down the line.

It's kind of better when combined with other genres. I find platforming in FPS to be pretty fun, adds alot of satisfaction to the exploration mechanic (Deus Ex, HL1&2, STALKER etc.)

[traxtan]

I haven't even heard of Xbone emulators.

The purpose of emulators is to experience a game that is:
Not available on pc
Has exclusive content or enhancements
A custom version/port of a video game
And most importantly, an exclusive worth playing

Xbox one has none of these.

Nintendo games aren’t even that good. It’s just the same stuff over and over again until you’re sick of it.

I liked the first Pokemon when I was 8, but they never bothered to make the ultimate Pokemon MMO that literally every gamer has been dreaming of their whole life.

Mario games were already kinda boring when I was a kid, and now they’re even worse—except for Mario Kart, but even those all feel the same.

I’ve never liked Zelda. The gameplay feels clunky, the story and writing are basically non-existent, and the lore is just super generic and dull. Honestly, most JRPGs are way more interesting than Zelda.

Metroid is amazing, but we only get a new game when Nintendo randomly remembers it exists.

And yeah, I really don’t like what they did with the Xeno series. Sure, they saved Monolith, but like… at what cost? Forget about any hope for Xenogears or Xenosaga remasters now—we’re just stuck with this mess of a lore, childish writing from the Blade games... sigh

Nintendo are stale & formulaic, because they only change or improve a few things between each iteration.
In some ways, this is good for delivering a very consistent product to children of each generation, and it's worked to build up their IPs.
Doesn't matter if the gameplay sucks and they're generally overrated, when everyone knows those characters. Even people who don't play any videogames.
Each Nintendo IP is also distinct from the other, in gameplay & visuals, covering a selection, instead of being thematically amorphous.

The Japs have an issue with taking risks & trying things outside of the box. Koreans and Chinese less so.
It's probably to do with their culture, with how big companies are run.
In any case, they'll only stop doing that when it ceases to make them money.
