>After the massive flop of Metroid Prime 4 and the Switch 2 and all its games they have finally announced the shutdown of their most expensive studioIs this the end of Nintendo?
Snoytranny cope, as usual
Metroid is such an obsolete series in the ages of endless indie metroidvanias, some of which far surpass Metroid in quality
They are making quadrillion of yen, why would you close studios
>>742274593I have two hundred dollars in my back pocket, I'm still not donating to the Red Cross just because I can afford to.
>>742274408it was in dev hell for a decadeits not a flop, they just spent so much time on it that they ended up losing money
>>742274408nintendo saw the massive layoffs coming from MS and decided to slide this one in before the avalanche solid plan honestly
>>742274408This is the worst fucking fake tweet I’ve ever seen in my life. Did you make this in fucking MS Paint?
Nintendo has been dead since the killed the wiimote. Closing their best studio is stupid but expected. Turok devs should have stayed away from Nintendo. Must have been terrible to have to conform to child molestation.
I don't see that
>>742274408Bro you couldn't even use browser tools to change the text? C'mon.
None of the studios really stand out as needing to be closed, as opposed to when you look at Xbox.
>>742274878>>742274998>NOOOOOO IT’S FAKE BECAUSE NINTY IS THE HECKIN’ WHOLESOME COMPANY THAT LOVES THEIR EMPLOYEES AAAAIIIIEEEEWhy are bingtendies like this? Why are they so pathetic and cringe? You bring up the truth on how the Shitch 2 is crashing, and they all fly off the hinge…
>>742274408>making a fake image with no sourceThat level of Nintendo Derangement Syndrome is not healthy
It's sad how he can't cope enough with Sony shitting itself so he must make fakes where the enemy tribe also have the same shit happening to them.
>>742274998I would fuck those cats.
>>742274878Please understand, Brazilians haven't figured out inspect element yet
>>742275309Care to share that truth?
Meanwhile in reality.
>>742276241i thought the image would be the fake post where marathon ends on july 17th
>being so assblasted that you make a thread with a fake tweet and bump your own thread
>>742277148have you seen the list of bad news for westoids for this monday alone? fucking crazy shit
>>742275309it's fake because only a moron would believe a 4chan image without further investigating
>>742277387>westoidsWho the fuck talks like that
>>742274408Sooooo.... win?
>>742274408Hey Snoy, whatcha doin'?!
>>742277543A brown person
>>742274408Retro Studios has been hiring actually.
>>742274408>literally fake newsYou guys got PLAYED
>>742274408We did it /v/!
>>742274408good riddancenintentrannies are the worst>muh physical!>muh 80 dollar games retain value!>paying 20 dollars for 30 year old rom files is actually a good thing!
>>742274408So that's what you want. You want Nintendo to shut down Retro so you'll have something to throw at them for closing it down. It must be eating you up inside that they're not following Sony or Microsoft's example. How pathetic of you.
>The vast majority of switch 1 and 2 owners now have the console as a third party machine like the PS2 while ignoring first and second party stuff for the most part.>To the point even ball and gun gamers are using it now, and ball and gun gamers are only buying ball and gun games.>JRPGfags in particular have either FE niggerweave or xenoblade genesis as a selling point to buy one.>The nintendo equivalent of ball and gun gamers only ever cares about 3d mario and 3d zelda and would be happy at this for nintendo "wasting time" on something that isn't either of those.>Indie gamers don't care about "cinematic" games like how prime 4 is perceived as.>Metriodvania fags ignored the game since the second they realized it's not a 2d side scroller.>People that don't care about and/or hate the westoid side of vidya would cheer at these news.Who the hell is this fake tweet supposed to scare?And why the fuck do NDStards hate retro so much?
>>742275309Care to link the tweet and article then, faggot? That's what I fucking thought.
>>742274726Sounds like it was a flop>it sold well just not well enoughsooo.. a flop?
>>742275309Not only retro studios is not closing or firing devs but they are hiring new ones, they even hire a couple of bluepoint devs recently
>retarded, attentionwhoring faggot threadlol
Post the link to the tweet or be on your way.
whats going on here?
For some actual industry news, apparently frenchies tried to make resellable digital games a thing and valve lobbied against it and won.https://www.gamesindustry.biz/french-court-rules-countrys-steam-users-can-resell-their-gamesI'm impressed valve are still treated like the good guys in any way whatsoever when they are pulling such evil shit like this.
>>742274408It's so fucking over.
>>742274408oof...
>>742274408>[Impactful News] Nintendo kills Retro Studios>>After the massive flop of Metroid Prime 4 and the Switch 2 and all its games they have finally announced the shutdown of their most expensive studio >Is this the end of Nintendo?
>Additionally, the court says Steam's terms claim a number of other rights Valve does not actually have, including keeping wallet funds without reimbursement when users leave the platform, relinquishing responsibility if users incur harm using the platform, as well as certain rights regarding mod use, user-submitted content, and account termination. A total of fourteen clauses were determined to be unacceptable.things like this make you realize /v/ is an echochamber
>>742274408At this point I'm not sure if these threads are made by snoys, tendies falseflagging as snoys, snoys falseflagging as tendies falseflagging as snoys, tendies falseflagging as snoys falseflagging as tendies falseflagging...
>>742279873The trademark incompetence of the usual suspect.
>>742283659The winning side doesn't need to false flag to show dominance.
>>742274408>seething so hard after all the non-DEI staff getting fired by Sony and MS that xe has to create some fake news to combat thatkek
>>742274408gotta source for that?
>>742275309you clearly lost and got gaped lmao
>>742275309curious how you won't link the tweet eric
>>742275309hello eric
>>742284125Yes, his ass
>>742274408lmao, snoyThey are making Prime 5, it's due out in 2028, Retro has quick turn arounds on game development. Do you even think Prime 4 took Retro long? lets be real here.
>>742274878I'm actually impressed with his work.>he finally learned the difference between its and it's>he actually wrote Switch 2 instead of Shitch 2That was probably hard for him.
>>742274408Prime 4 was dog shit, they must have been infiltrated by purple hairs and septum nose piercings. Deserved.
>>742284905hello eric
>>742275309so then post the link
I checked IGN's Twitter.The tweet doesn't exist.Eric fakes.
>>742285425Thank you captain obvious
Oh, no...
December 2025 me would have never thought that Nintendo would bring back Star Fox and have it go Triple-AAA.I remember making threads explaining the implications that Metroid Prime 4 had for the next 3D Mario.Now I have another Triple-AAA Nintendo game to use as evidence of this trend, and Ocarina of Time 2026 is another one on the way.I am all the more happy.
>>742274408Take your meds
>>742274408Retro actually absorbed Bluepoint's employees after Sony shut them down
>>742274408KekThis is not even Retro's fault. Nintendo knew they had a stinker in their hands and, since fans wanted it so bad, they decided to launch in that state instead of canceling. They sacked Sakamoto though.
>>742274408Looks fake to me kek
>>742280554Is he okay?
>>742274408jeets are so dumb they'll actually repost this on twitter for 2 cents
>people are actually falling for this bait
>>742286092I was REALLY hoping it was real
I grew up watching The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.Ocarina of Time 2026 must draw me in, just like The Return of the King did, nearly 10 years ago.Nintendo will deliver.
>>742274408>decide to check to see what the actual IGN post is>IO, Microsoft and Sony laying off people and canceling games>only news about Nintendo is the employees getting raisesLol
Here is what I want for the next 3D Mario.
>>742286092It sounds like something that would be the case, what more proof do you need? Not like op’s at fault
>>742278482For whatever reason snoys are projecting the fact they force themselves to care about literally anything first party sony does.Meanwhile even the most fervent nintendo first party game enjoyers tend to only care about 2-3 franchises tops out of like 10 or so nintendo has.
>742286205nobody asked
>>742286374Okay, eric.
>>742286237>it's not OP's fault that they created a painfully obvious fake tweet just to try and bait dozens of gullible retards on a Indonesian fish gutting forum
>>742286205Are you the guy that thought Sega was going to make a new console?
>>742286432Yes.I was told that it got cancelled.
>>742286167The list of bad westoid/chink/gook news for this week is already comparable to last week and it's barely tuesday.

Why does metroid get such dedicated schizos that hate it so much?
>>742285979Toadally fine
>>742274581Nah. Dread was hailed as a return to form for the classic style of metroid. Thank god 3D metroid is dead, and nintendo can pour all of their money on the "safe" bet of 2D metroids, which are easier to make, cheaper, and clearly do better in the market and can show of what Samus can ACTUALLY do. She is a nimble, deadly, and heavily armored death machine. The prime series makes her feel more like a tank than the ironman adjacent powerhouse that she really is.
>>742285954It looks fake to Stevie fucking Wonder mate.
>>742287190if botw/totk are overhated because they are THE symbol of nintendo refusing to die and returning to be an industry giant again, then metroid is the proof they don't let IPs rot and diestar fox is also getting the exact same type of hate now
>>742274581something something 2 cakesalso 90% of all indie metroidvanias are dogshit, the only few ones actually good are ironically the ones that are more igavania than metroidvania
>>742274408But I thought tendies said that Prime would sell regardless of how shit it was. Was that all some snoy cope??
>>742287931Yep. They self segregated by saying Myles wasn't so bad.
>>742274726>Its not a flop, it just flopped like one
>>742274408Lmao
fake tweet
>>742287931It has legs (somehow)
>>742288120shouldn't rockstar be worried the gta6 preorders aren't permaglued at the top 1 spot?
>>742288381They probably are, but they can't say or show they are worried because then it has the extra effect of giving more doubt to potential buyers.
>>742274581Dread alone is better than every indie metroidvania-like.FFS even Bloodstained is better than most.
>>742287550>nahHaving to start your argument with a cliche dismissive gimmick like "nah" shows that you know OPs post is true. There are hundreds of games in the genre that are great. Dread was not a "return to form" you moron. It was an "out sourced to Brazillions" to form. If Nintendo did it themselves it would be a return to form. Dread was letting another team use a cookie cutter to make a game.>inb4 you reply "nah" to this post
>meanwhile in realityretro studios is hiring more people according to their website
>>742289042Don't be so sensitive to word choice you big baby. I love the metroid series, and I liked prime 1-3 a lot. The fact that Retro had to develop prime 4 from the sloppy seconds of pic related and having to be shut down for it sucks, but it is what it is. I think the 3D first person shooter version of Samus should be put on hiatus for a LONG time, and hopefully it can make room for more 2D metroid. I'm not so cynical to think that there can NEVER be another good metroid game 3rd party developer or not. That is just silly. Also, for the record, I don't have much faith in Nintendo 1st party development either.
>>742289331>and having to be shut down for it sucks, but it is what it is.You are so fucking retarded holy shit
>>742274408good
>>742275309A quick search would you show you IGN didn't post this and there's no news about Nintendo shutting down Retro retard.
Now that Metroid Prime bombed, can Retro go back to doing what they do best and release a new DKC game? And bring back David Wise, the man's talents are completely wasted on extremely obscure indie games.
>>742275234Nintendo doesn't just drop hundreds of millions of dollars on devs that don't do shit. Only the main Japanese studios get to make 10 year development games. Microsoft just buys studios, pays the bills and salaries, and devs just fuck around doing nothing for 10 years.
>>742289331you are a fucking retard man
>>742274878At a quick glance it's enough to fool people. I had to go look it up to see if it was real or not.
>>742290207If it were real there would be way more threads
>>742288857Bloodstained was good, though...
>>742280554I wish toads were the common pest instead of rats.
>>742290307It would be on the front page of Twitter, and I would see it upon opening the app.
>>742286092I'm proud of /v/ today, most aren't. Proof Nintendo fans are smarter than snoys.
>>742287190I hate Metroid Prime for interfering with the development of DKC. Retro is wasted their talent on a flop. Mercury Steam already proved they can make better Metroid games.
you could fit the oscar mayer weinermobile in the space between the text and the image
>>742290619Metroid prime 4 only went to retro because of two reasons. Bamco Singapore's version was absolutely shit and retro's original IP was canned so they had fuck all to do.
I love Myles Mackenzie.
>>742274581name one indie game that surpasses the perfection of Super Metroid
Myles MacKenzie is a Mii on my Mii Island, and my Miis love to exclaim "WE LOVE JEWS AND RABBIS!".
>>742289438>>742290151Not an argument.
I wish the OP wasn't blatantly fake. Retro made one of the worst games of the entire gen with this steaming piece of shit.
>>742290936SHAW
>>742274408If you're going to make a fake image, at least take care to remove obvious editing artifacts.
>>742290936Silksong
>>742291103>one of the worst games of the entire gennot even close, the entire concordian timeline and its spinoffs like cube of laundry are all fighting for the top 30 spots
>>742274408Not only did you not give a source and made me look to see fucking nothing on IGN or their twitter, but this is the second time you've tried something like this, the first was lying about the death of Miyamoto.Why are you like this, are you actually this upset about Nintendo not suffering as much as everyone else?
>>742291171Silksong couldnt even manage to be culturally relevant for a year lmao
>>742274408great not only did we get a shit metroid game we have to wait another 20 years for them to make another shit one
>>742291452>game is a fun single player experience>doesn't have multiplayer or esports tacked on>surprised that people enjoy it and then move onYeah, let's remedy this by making everything live service slop like Marathon.
people can't even name the last time nintendo closed a studio. if ever.
>>742291372Should have analyzed the image. You can see the text is edited.
>>742291628Anon I'm gonna be real with you, I don't usually visit twitter if I can help it and I don't have my glasses on.I'm pretty sure they just wanted us to waste our time anyway.
>>742274581All the "metroidvania" games that exist take from Castlevania far more than they take from Metroid, and I fucking hate Castlevania. Only Metroid scratches the Metroid itch for me.
>>742291595And that's a problem. When they make a bad game, the devs are rewarded and shielded from their actions. Sakamoto was never canned over Metroid Other M, for instance. And now he's allowed to make shitty visual novels.
>>742291771axiom verge
>>742292000Okay, cool, so there's ONE game that copies Metroid, and it doesn't even copy the good one.
>>742274408Why can't Snoys just be human?
>>742287550>dread was hailed as a return to formReturn to form for what? The dogshit established with fusion? 2D metroid has been a disaster post super >Nintendo will pour money into 2D metroid Nintendo isn't going to pour money into a series it needs to whore out to Spain because no one internally gives a fuck about it
>>742292550In fairness, Dread felt like an okay game after the disaster that was Other M. It just relied too much on spectacle and repetition.
>>742274726>he's not dead, he just isn't breathing anymore
>>742274726>they ended up losing moneySource?
>>742274408>>742275309And then faggots say "tendies are just as bad as Snoys"
>>742286205That's all well and good. But the next 2D Mario game should be a full experience of that play-by-shapes Mario is missing game where you play as peach and have to fuck every Goomba and koopa to defeat them.
>>742292957You guys kind of are. You're all children fighting over baby toys.
>>742291103Retro didn't make Minds Eye
>>742274408Not Retros fault that they were forced to make something playable out of Bamcos abortion. You can feel how it's the ideas of three games haphazardly mashed together and shat out just to have it out.
This isn’t even an hourly snoy cope thread. This is just straight up lying.
>>742291103You are OP, Epstein scum.
>>742293256lol snoys lie though, they're really good at itPS2 outsold Switch 2 this year
>>742293232Retro should've spoken up and said "look alot of this crap is unsalvageable, just let us start over". Nintendo supposedly treats its employees well, right? They'd understand.
Not only is Retro not closed, they've been hiring Bluepoint devs from the area after Sony closed that studio.
>>742274593iirc in total MP4 cost 100 million dollar? Pretty much the most expensive game bingtendo ever developed.
>>742293071True. We should leave /v/ and go get a second job because playing video games is immature and a waste of time.
Metroid Prime 4 is the best Metroid game ever.I might have to resume my Metroid Prime 4 playthrough today if you Nintendo-hating Epsteins keep this up.I have other things that I wanted to do today.
>>742293820>we should leave /v/I would do this, if we weren't stuck here forever. This shithole has become nothing but twitter screencaps, ragebait and console wars.

>>742293426

>>742294564Incredible how they've never argued with you then. Very conveniently left you alone every time.
>>742274408I feel like there have been more studio closures in the past few weeks than there have been in all previous weeks before them. Kind of crazy. Do you think there will be rebuilding? Will they finally bring studios back that make what gamers actually want again?

>>742297093I still maintain that you're both as bad as eachother. When you stop praising bad games, then I might consider snoys worse. When you praise bad games, you will use every shitposting trick in the book to protect it from criticism. Ergo, you are no better than a snoy.

>>742297210>He says this after he just used an image of a thread so they could shitpost on Switch 2 gamesAnon, please.BE FUCKING CONSISTANT.God I hate modern shitposters.
>>742294365I've been wondering this for a while. Why is this faggot allowed to spam his repulsive offtopic shit and jannies do nothing about it?
>>742297432>Nintendo fans gloat about how based Nintendo is for cutting DEI >while supporting Cyberpunk and DeltaruneHow about YOU be consistent?
>>742297179Its simple. playstation is fucked and some Snoys realize it and are freaking out.PS5 is dead, so Sony is forced to release the PS6 ASAP.PS6 is going to cost over $1000 so its DOA.Sony still doesnt have a "Fortnite" live service game to fund their expensive single player games and studios.Playstation is in deep financial shit and the only way they can make profit is to lay off workers.GTA6 is already flopping at retail, so there is no white knight to save the PS5.Its grim as fuck at Playstation.
>Add millenial writing>Gets studio shutdownWHAT THE FUCK WAS NINTENDO THINKING GIVING THAT SHIT THE GREEN LIGHT?
>>742297556I have nothing to prove when you have done nothing but show you're the retarded faggot that made this fucking thread to begin with.How do you even live with yourself?Better yet don't tell me, I don't want to listen to whatever liquid shit you will spew out next.
>>742297668I LOVE MILLENIAL WRITING.SHUT UP.
>>742297708>I have nothing to prove when you have done nothing but show you're the retarded faggot that made this fucking thread to begin with.lolI'm certain you have proof for this? Like I would ever post twitter bait.
>>742274408They deserved it for making this turd tho
>>742297496Man, I wish that tripfag gets permanently banned from this site. I hate him more than the usual anti-nintendo schizos
>>742289331Whats with the salty replies to this one? This post looks pretty fair.
Eric is coping againShame it isn't real though modern Retro is all 343 rejects.
>742297715See this shit right here?And they want people to beliieve they are not a falseflagger, the fuck is wrong with them?Not even worth a (You).
>>742297964Why?The anti-Nintendo schizos are epsteins.
>>742298085Because it's a retard 'believeing' the OP is true when it's the fakest shit, then doubling down.

>>742298262Elon BTFO calibro! Post it on twitter so he seethes about it!
>>742274408C'mon man, put some effort in your shitposts at least.
>>742297496Because, just like Playstation, 4chan has been dead for years. They use "shock value threads" and "fake news" to keep the 4chan Zombie barely moving. I would bet my life savings that "Eric" is a mod.
Eric here.You lost and got raped. Suck on deez balls lmao
>>742298345I dun get it
So with how karma works this means bungie or some other sony studio is closing right?
>>742274408>most expensive studioHas Nintendo seriously been burning more money on Retro each year than any one of their other studios?
>>742297179nintendo is basically holding the entire console industry together and the sony cultists are big mad
>>742274408I have said it before and I will say it again. Only Metroid Prime 1 was "good" and even that game had noticeable flaws. Prime 2 was tedious shit and Prime 3 was the start of the end with many "redflag" concepts that would show up in Prime 4 like an increased focus on the galactic federation and the Hunters, which were never the point of Metroid.
>>742291863ThisAfter Paper Mario Sticker Star there are still Paper MariosAfter Mario and Luigi Dream Team there are still Mario and Luigi games.To be fair the devs are also some of Nintendos first party studios but there is still no clear punishment for being a fuckup as a Nintendo dev. You just get shuffled or relocated to some other more obscure projects.
>>742298425Misaligned words.
>>742298389Of course he's a mod, why do you think half a thread gets deleted and banned and he makes another thread. Either that or some IRC buttbuddyTranny jannies are reddit tier
4chan died when Moot left.
>>742297432you're replying to a retarded sony fanboy who constantly tries to pretend that calling sony fans mean names is just as bad as literal pedophiles attacking kids
>>742298526Its obvious that Eric is a 4chan moderator. Its not that hard to see.
>>742298563I'm aware, it's why I stopped responding to their nonsense.
>>742298535Who?
>>742298484As stated by plenty of people, the future is Mobile, Nintendo and PC.PC is super widespread due to work nowadays, Mobileshit is in everyones pocket at all times and Nintendo is cheap portablr baby shit with plenty of niches.Playstation and Xbox are niche now
>742298563>742298664>anyone who doesn't worship nintendo is a sony fanboyIs there a name for this mental illness?
>>742298685just this guy
>>742298685https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_PooleHe sold 4chan to some Snoy Jap and its been dead ever since.
>>742287550>She is a nimbleThis was established with fusion, she's supposed to be floaty/tanky and the best games in the series adhere to that (super, prime 1/2)
>>742298215So retro didnt close?
>>742297179the fucking news conga whammy is already longer than the entirety of last weekand we are fucking a day and half into the week
>>742298838no, you idiot
>>742298748Snoys call everyone tendies if they dont lap up diarrhea like marathon and concord. Owning a console just makes you mentally ill in general.
>>742292642Prime 4 is an "ok" game compared to other M, if that's how low the bar is for metroid now, it doesn't justify its existence. There hasn't been a metroid with proper level design or exploration post-2004 (post-1994 for 2D not counting remakes with ZM). It's just sad seeing what was the head of the genre get absolutely shat on by indies.
>>742274581You would be correct if anyone else was even attempting 3D metroid>>742291771Zexion
>>742274581>Metroid is such an obsolete series in the ages of endless indie metroidvanias, some of which far surpass Metroid in qualityDread was a success while Prime flopped and shitted itself though, which means your logic is the absolute opposite of the truth.
thats what you get for ditching sarah
Watch this thread die off because the mods dont want this info about 4chan being dead and mods creating characters like "Eric" to farm engagement is in this thread. The mods even samefag and talk to each other pretending to be anons. Its fucking pathetic.
>>742298838no sign of the tweet on ign's page
>>742298969Silksong puts Dread to shame, so no he's still right.
>>742299017nobody cares about Slopsong anymore
>>742298748>Implying I'm a tendieI haven't owned a console since the PS2Still, rather a Ninpedo cultist than a mentally deranged Snoy
creating ragebait threads should be a bannable offense
Would be some hilarious timing if Sony announced they're closing Bungie tomorrow instead.
>>742298835I believe she was also intended to be nimble. Like ignoring the space jump and speed boost, they just didn't have the technology to develop that kind of gameplay, which explains why after Fusion she is quite agile and "cool".
>>742299096>Threads should not devolve into flamewars. Instigating or encouraging such activity will not be tolerated.
>>742298748See that woudl make sense if snoys didn't lash out at EVERYBODY like the fucking plague they are, on top of spreading fake news.https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/741786886/>>741851217>>741849215>>741883463It's never been a case of 'not liking nintendo games makes you a snoy', it's a case of 'if you like anything that's not on PS5 you're a faggot'.But you don't care for any of this do you shitposter?
>>742296930You used to avatarfag using Sans Undertale.
>>742299207didn't they already announce they were firing off all but a skeleton crew?
>>742299096that would require mods to actually give a fuck and not be the ones responsible for them.
Dread can't be good simply because you need to use an analog stick. Decades of>2D games = digital movement = d-pad>3D games = analog movement = analog stickDread comes along and completely messes with literal decades of muscle memory by being 2D with analog only movement. I'm glad I pirated, I would be really mad if I had bought it.
>>742299329>the game is bad because I'm dogshit at it!
>>742299291So it's okay to shit on GTA as oveprriced goyslop that will only cater to the normalfags? I can discard the opinions of retards who will inevitably use the high metacritic score (from totally not paid off game journos) to flaunt it as a supposed masterpiece?Certainly, only a snoy would rely on sales and metacritic scores and game journos to flaunt a game as good, right?
>>742299390Playing platformers with an analog feels gross and wrong. It's the only game I know that does it other than Smash which I also hate for the same reason so I don't even know why they decided to be different for the sake of being different.
>>742299567Just change the control scheme to use a dpad. Dread DOES allow you to do that, right?
>>742299567Learn, my man.
>>742299716not that I could find>>742299724no

>>742294087Do you know the meaning of a quick glance? Analyzing whether the text is aligned or not is not a quick glance. Not to mention the fact that a lot of people will just read the thread title rather than enlarge the image, or someone more competent would generate a fake tweet rather than manually put together an image of one.
>>742291336>the entire concordian timeline and its spinoffs like cube of laundry are all fighting for the top 30 spotsI don't count those as games desu, they're just interactive propaganda.
>>742299553Only faggots treat metacritic, steamcharts, etc. as an objective metric of quality. This is a lesson /v/ once knew, but since the board is only capable of getting more retarded, the modern anon cannot comprehend this fact.

Wahoo!!!!
>>742298515>After Mario and Luigi Dream Team there are still Mario and Luigi games.pretty sure those got canned, i remember that 3ds team straight up refusing to learn newer engines for whatever reason which resulted on brothership being made effectively by a new team

>>742301231Brothership, dumbass.
>>742301095Yes, several key creative figures from Paper Mario: Sticker Star (2012, developed primarily by Intelligent Systems with support from Vanpool) are or were still affiliated with Nintendo or its partners in recent years, though some have moved on or retired.Focus is on directors and those with significant creative control (e.g., directors, lead designers, producers overseeing vision). The game had co-directors Naohiko Aoyama (Intelligent Systems side) and Taro Kudo (Vanpool, also scenario/writer), with producers like Kensuke Tanabe (Nintendo) and Toshiyuki Nakamura (Intelligent Systems) playing major roles.Naohiko Aoyama (Co-Director, Intelligent Systems)He was a key creative force, having shaped the paper aesthetic since the original Paper Mario (2000) as art director/character designer. For Sticker Star, he directed on the IS side.He continued with strong creative involvement in later Paper Mario titles:Paper Mario: Color Splash (2016) — Director / Concept.Paper Mario: The Origami King (2020) — Art Coordination / UI Art Lead.Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Switch remake, 2024) — Game Design Supervisor.Aoyama remains active at Intelligent Systems/Nintendo on the series, shifting toward supervisory/art roles in more recent entries. He is still working there as of the latest credits.Taro Kudo (Co-Director & Scenario, Vanpool)Handled direction and script for Sticker Star. He came from a background at Square (e.g., Super Mario RPG) and Love-de-Lic, and was a founding member/director at Vanpool.Vanpool (which supported Nintendo titles like Dillon's Rolling Western and Kirby games) shut down in May 2023. Kudo's post-Sticker Star work was tied to Vanpool projects, but there is limited public info on major solo creative roles at Nintendo afterward. He is not prominently credited on later mainline Paper Mario games.He does not appear to be actively working at Nintendo today in a high-profile creative capacity.(1/2)
>>742301417and another retard falls for it.
>>742301464Kensuke Tanabe (Producer, Nintendo)A long-time Nintendo producer who oversaw Sticker Star and influenced the series' direction (e.g., restrictions on story/new characters per Miyamoto's input). He produced or supervised multiple Paper Mario entries, Metroid Prime games, and others.He remained active for years, including on later Paper Mario titles. In January 2026, he announced retirement after ~40 years at Nintendo, with Metroid Prime 4: Beyond as his final project (Risa Tabata as successor for related work). He is no longer actively working at Nintendo.Toshiyuki Nakamura (Producer, Intelligent Systems)Producer on Sticker Star; long involved with the Paper Mario series and project management at IS. He later became president of Intelligent Systems.He continues in a high-level executive role at Intelligent Systems (still a key Nintendo partner for Fire Emblem, Paper Mario, etc.), with credits on recent titles like the Thousand-Year Door remake.Other notes: Many Sticker Star staff were relatively new or a "renewal" team, which contributed to its stylistic shift. Creative control for subsequent games evolved (e.g., Aoyama's ongoing influence, changes in later entries like Origami King). Intelligent Systems remains central to Paper Mario development.Overall, core Nintendo/IS talent like Aoyama and Nakamura have stayed involved, while external support (Vanpool/Kudo) and veteran producer Tanabe have wound down. Information is based on public credits and interviews up to 2026.(2/2)TLDR: The actual talent still works at nintendo, the ones at fault for the game being dogshit (Vanpool) got left to die in 2023 LMAOOOO.
wow, a twitter thread, and not only that, a fake twitter thread! and look at all these replies taking it at face value! another great day on forward slash vee!
>>742300598Yes, read the thread.
>>742301550>>742301464>the people who greenlit and gave a thumbs up to the final product are "actual talent">including Tanabe, the man who ruined Metroid, only because he was allowed to keep working at NIntendo after multiple failures
>300+ replies for a thread with a fake tweet made in fucking paint and many retards falling for itThis board is fucking dogshit man

>>742301861Shouldn't have been born but brownskins can't help themselves
>>742280554Ah this must be that flavor I keep hearing about. Rocky Toad.
>>742301734You literally cited Tanabe as "actual talent". Unless every one of them was fired, then it still proves my point that Nintendo doesn't punish their team for making shitty games. Hell, even Tanabe got off with a golden parachute, instead of being paraded around the streets with a sign around his neck that says "talentless hack".It's no different from sony continuing to praise Neil druckmann.
>>742283659Plot Twist: Bored XBros cuz no games to play
>>742274408Nice try with the disinformation, faggot.https://careers.nintendo.com/studios/retro-studios/
>>742274408OP is a faggot. They are actually hiring right now, so clearly working on MP5 or another game.
>>742302086wtf is this real
>>742302167this "you only get one chance ever" is why the entirety of westoid media is collapsing niggaif you dont like the games he makes just play something else
>>742285918You mean Tanabe?
>>742290341That's what they/them said though...
>>742302195>5 contract jobsmust be a new type of game they're hiring for
>>742302292>Neil Druckmann makes TLOU>it's a steaming pile of shit>in a just world, sony fires him>no pointless TLOU sequels or remakesThe west needs more of this. Drop the dead weight. Companies don't need 5000 useless sacks of trash. If an indie game can function with as few as three people working on it, then AAA companies can afford to sack worthless diversity hires.
>>742289331>I have a bridge to sell you Anon
>>742302415we are talking about nintendo though, wesstoids are a lost cause and can only make slop now regardless of if fags like cuckmann got fired or notalso unlike cuckmann, tanabe actually managed to release more than 0.7 games per console generation since the PS360/wii era
>>742290774Truth nuke, we wouldn't have even gotten MP4 if Retro's own game wasn't crap. I'm surprised it is a 7.25/10 as it is considering.
>>742302543>tanabe actually managed to release more than 0.7 games per console generation since the PS360/wii eraAnd not a single one of them was good.
>>742292000I've got both on Steam, never played yet. I heard the second is a tranny game though (from /v/). Is it true?
>>742294365NOOOOO! I thought Glup Shitto was above all of this pedo bullshit :(I am le sad now
>>742302594if you dont like the games he makes just play something else
>thread about a completely made up news tweet is half way past bump limitgoddamn this board is brown, ESL and low IQ
I fell for it for a moment, but that just means I don't know what tweets really look like because I don't fuckin use twitter. So who's the real winner here?
>>742302827The snoys said the same thing about TLOU. When it's such a bad game that it affects everything around it, it's hard to ignore.
>>742285979If he was a frog he woud be fine
>>742274408>another western studio closedNintendo is pretty based
>op made another thread with the same fake tweetwhat is this mental illness called
>OP made a second threadDouble, nay, perhaps even QUADRUPLE faggot.
>>742303103SIE is not japanese, japanese companies operate differently.For example I missed the memo where tanabe turned the prime series into a generic 2d-hd turn based game like westoids turn everything into a TPS cinematic moviegame.
>>742299239Are you high? The same system had games like Mario, megaman, and we had sonic on the weaker genesis. It was a deliberate choice to make her slow and tanky because back then, Sakamoto and co still had brains and knew that metroid excelled when it focused on methodical exploration, not action. Prime games carried that over until prime 4 with the bike and lo and behold, it shat up the formula just like fusion did with the 2D games by increasing the speed/action.
>>742303202That's because tanabe turned metroid into snoy movieshit instead.
>>742274408OP lied. Damn it.
>>742303280and then you will forget you ever had these complaints when prime 5 comes out and it fixes these issues
>>742274581We’ve yet to have a 3D metroidvenia that surpasses or even comes close to Prime 1. I don’t think we’ve even had a 3D first person metroidvenia at all since Prime 1…
>>742303363Just like when Nintendo fixed the issues with Paper Mario: Sticker Star, right? They certainly didn't double down on it?
The phenomenon of having a nintendo console for the japanese third party releases then watching nintendo haters care more about first party shit than I do (by a long shot) is quite the experience.
>>742303434what even was wrong with it?
>>742274408>He's hallucinating again.
>>742303175>>742303186He probably got insider info someone big is getting the boot on the westoid side and is already coping.Place your bets on who it is.
>>742274408Nintendo didn't get rid of Retro. They found the retard who's been ruining Metroid and got rid of him instead. That's the difference between Nintendo and their rivals. Xbox would fire the whole studio while Nintendo would Yakuza-threaten the guy who went through the obviously bad idea while everyone else keeps their jobs. Look at Gunpei Yokoi and Virtual Boy. Hopefully Nintendo's lawyer guy gets a Yakuza visit because of how Palworld was mishandled.
>>742303530How about throwing out every single fundamental of not just paper mario, but the concept of a JRPG in general? Making a flat, boring and sterile world with no exploration? Making every single fight just a gimmick with no thought put into it? >boss is almost unkillable unless you use a specific attack>then he's a complete joke>the game chastises you if you don't play it exactly the way it tells you to
>>742303662>Making a flat, boring and sterile world with no exploration? Making every single fight just a gimmick with no thought put into it?Sounds like what paper mario has been from the start, it's a game for literal children.Play real JRPGs retard, even persona would be a more respectable franchise to get pissy over.
>>742303280Yeah, Tanabe used Metroid to make some Snot film. Nintendo got pissed too, and that's why he's gone.
>>742274408yes
>>742303648Why shouldn't Nintendo fire the whole studio? They're all spineless cowards for not calling out Tanabe on his retardation.>>742303728>Paper Mario was always bad! we need to change every bit of it!Why not fix it, instead of making it worse?
>>742303434>>742303662Bing and triforce niggers really are manchildren lol.
>a lie told often enough becomes the truth
>>742303758So when are they going to recall Prime 4 and retcon it officially?
