When did they become shit?
>>720759718>"I agree, we should patent running and jumping" -totally not Iwata
>>720759718something something Iwata
COVID
I think midway into the switch when Kimishima stepped down from his temporary position so Furukawa could take control. Sucks ass that they literally put a fucking accountant as the CEO. The share holders are very happy tho.
>>720759718Because you doubted them during the Wiiu era.
>>720759718Depends on your tastesFor me, I couldn't conform to the very pro-casual Wii onward gimmicky shitBut what really did it for me was the SHAMELESS corpo bullshit that switch 1 outlined, and became emboldened in switch 2
the Gamecube failed to win over the West.the Wii succeeded.From that moment on, Nintendo knew:these are pigs, we must pump out slop.And they never stopped.Paypigs and slop - slop and paypigs.The ecosystem repeats itself.
>>720759718They made it big so now its time to squeeze the whales.
>>720759718Basically the second the wii came out. It was when they decided to only be about gimmicks rather than quality, sovl, fun, or anything else really. Oh you don't want gimmicks? Go buy an Xbox then, chud.
As an outsider looking in the Switch 2 game lineup is absolutely grim. I was somewhat looking forward to prime 4 to emulate but then they showed up the motorcycle shit and killed any hope I had for it
>>720759718The 23rd of September, 1889.
The decline started with Switch 1 but that was the best generation in terms of games. Now with switch 2 on the other hand..
>>720762321Nintendo before the 80s is so different that you can't even talk about the same company.
>>720762437Le joke is that le Nintendo was never le good and le everything is le shit.
When you, Eric, got gaped and lost.
>>720759718gamecube/gba
>>720759718when you stopped being able to afford their games, wagey
>>720764865That never happened.
>>720759718NES - N64 was good. Gamecube was the tonal shift and it's been downhill since. Although I do respect the Wii and Wii U more than Gamecube.
GameCube
>>720759718Wii Era
How did Nintendo break op’s mind to spam shitpost?
>>720759718the moment iwata died. after nintendo pushed out the switch, one of the last big projects iwata was involved with, they got generic japanese businessmen running the company again. these are the guys who are focused on locking down every single thing they can in order to prevent anyone from stepping onto their turf. every single stupid, boring thing nintendo has done is a result of the croney ceo not really giving a shit and just focusing on appeasing investors instead of trying anything new. doug bowser doesn't help, either, but that's reggie's fault for picking his limp-dicked faggot ass just because he also worked at procter & gambling. reggie might not have been in charge of the whole show, but it's not like his contributions were nothing. it's because of him that wii sports was packaged with the wii in america. miyamoto and iwata were seriously opposed to that idea, but he was able to win them over. iwata and reggie weren't perfect, but god damn it they were good businessmen and innovators, even if the wii u sucked shit they at least shot for the moon with it.
>>720759718They never did snoy
>>720759718I think there practices got scummier after the Switch's success. They were more humble during the Wii U era.
>>7207597181889
You lost
>>720759718First stage was after Breath of the Wild sold way beyond Nintendo's expectations and broke their brains. Second stage was when the PS5 and Xbox Series both shit the bed and left Nintendo as the default winner, giving them a ton of leeway to jerk people around without consequence.
In my opinion, 2020 onwards. literally nothing good since Luigi Mansion 3
>>720759718The moment they restructured the company in 2004 and killed Nintendo R&D1 in the process is when they truly lost their soul.
Wii
After SNES
>>720759718Iwata was the outliner. Nintendo has always been shit as a company. the point of no return was November 2013
>>720759718The second you became a poorfag
When they became publicly traded, same as any company.
Wii era
>>720762219DS came out first
>>720759718Only during the shitcube era, cubesnoy
>>720765675Nah gamecube was pound for pound their best console (along with gba it was a great duo). Almost every franchise got a well received major release on top of a lot of respectable new tries likes chibi robo, pikmin, luigis mansion etc.
Unironically after the 3DS era. That's where they stopped giving a shit about both innovation and caring about the drones of fanbase they have.
Nintendo Revolution
>>720759718They haven't done it really. The problem is they had to adopt modern practices that dipshit consumers that complain about made a thing themselves. That said; Kimishima was a transition president
>>720759718Hasn't happened yet. And if it did, they were the last ones.
>>720759718It all started with this piece of shit and if you disagree you are a certified zoomer retard
>>7207597183DS Wii U eraThis was the generation that I stopped caring about Nintendo, since the games weren't good anymore.
>>720772714>tendie copemake it harder to tell you're subhuman
>>720773450The sheer denial
>>720773450>And if it did, they were the last ones.This.
>>720773541It's also when their naming conventions went full retard>Super Nintendo? Cool that's pretty straightforward>Nintendo 64? Holy shit that's a huge number that's rad>Nintendo GameCube? Sweet a super powered cube that plays games with 4 controller ports >Nintendo...Wii? What the fuck? "Wii" as in "weeee!"? Wii as in taking a piss? Janky motion controls? But the graphics haven't even advanced since GameCube and it doesn't even have HDMI like the other consoles? Is this a console for babies?
>>720766401Reggies role in this is a little overstated. Truth be told it was basically just american culture to have pack in titles. Americas been doing it since the NES and GB. Well before reggie ever joined.
>>720773941>>Nintendo...Wii? What the fuck? "Wii" as in "weeee!"? Wii as in taking a piss? Janky motion controls? But the graphics haven't even advanced since GameCube and it doesn't even have HDMI like the other consoles? Is this a console for babies?A Nintendo that wants everyone to play as in "Wii would like to play". They even had ads with that slogan, anon, where you under a rock or just in your basement without a tv?
>>720759718Soul died with the wiiu.
>>720773541I agree. The Wii U felt kinda unnecessary.
>>720768642yea nintendo died before mario galaxy, mario 3d world and mario makerDumbass.
>>720772608Iwata was the worst era in history.
>>720773564*hardware wasn't
>>720759718Because you let them, that and you let them spoiling you with their sloppa.
>>720773681Not really.
>>720774112Some of it remained with Switch 1's initial year. But by the time it was clear the system was a huge hit they stopped trying
Thinking of just emulating any of the games I find interesting. It’s not like I have to support the devs considering there’s millions of people willing to pay for my pirated copy.
>>720774054The wii really didn't feel like a nintendo console. Its branding was more in line with something like apple at the time. Imo they should have just released it and the wii series games as a seperate line of consoles. Then had an hd console with mario and their colorful characters branding to sell to core gamers.
>>720774561They were trying well into the switch. Metroid dread, mario wonder, brothership, astral chain, bayonetta 3, luigis mansion 3. They had some really great games.
>>720774780>Its branding was more in line with something like apple at the timeThat's you assumtion from prejudice. You may think that due the horrid expansion of that flat design crap of those years>core gamersThey don't exists, let alone as you probably think they are.
Nintendo has always been the GOAT. it's the Snoys that have gone completely fucking mad
>>720774208You need to realize that he inherited a shit Nintendo ruined by greed that drove away all third party publishers.
>>720774054I know, and it's still fucking stupid and infantile
>>720775469Nah, it's quite creative and catchy. Nips are great for silly simple puns.
>>720759718n64 honestly. ps1 made them look weak
>>720773324>Nah gamecube was pound for pound their best consoleAs someone who was a pretty big Nintendo fan in the 90s, no. It wasn't. Sunshine wasn't good. Wind Waker wasn't good. Thousand Year Door was fine but overrated compared to the N64 Paper Mario. Metroid Prime was "good" as a technical showcase of the GameCube's power. As a game, it's was just "fine". Maybe it's because I was already a bit older by that point and had already been through NES, SNES, and the N64, but I'm always flabbergasted by people who claim GameCube was even close to Nintendo at their best.
>>720776048>Maybe it's because I was already a bit older by that pointCorrect.Opinion discarded.
current corporate jewish current Nintendo that makes great games is FAR better than "soulful" wiiu and wii era Nintendo that was putting out fucking garbage like nsmb which was actually the most soulless casualized shit evercan you even imagine a game like mario Odyssey or bananza coming out on the wii or wii u? it's not fucking possibleNintendo would never make games that respected their player's intelligence in that 10 year span and their output was fucking patheticNintendo is the best they've ever been, both software and hardware wise, they just have fallen to the standard Jewish practices of the rest of the industry but that's far better than literally not fucking making any good games>>720766401reggie's contribution was blocking a legendary game like xenoblade from even releasing in the west until hundreds of thousands of people literally begged for it and told him to fuck off reggie was a faggot who was an entertaining marketer, nothing more
>>720776828Odyssey was literally an Iwata era game that was pushed from Wii U to Switch.
>>720776909>source: my ass
>>720777003Do you think the game fairy made Odyssey overnight?
>>720777074do you think iwata had any real input when he was so sickly and dying from cancer that they put fucking puppets into their advertisements to save face?
>>720777228How is it not an Iwata era game when he was still running the company when development started? He signed off on the Switch, that launch window everyone jerks off is him.
>>720774990Of course they do just look at the switch 2 buyers.
>>720775115Fair enough.
>>720776048Honestly not the point. Pretty much every series got a good entry (I'll disagree about ww and ss but remember we got luigis mansion and twilight princess too) and while every console has it hits the gamecubes were just in different places. Smash and mario kart the two biggest sellers definitely had their best versions on there at the time, so what if mario and zelda didn't have theirs? And in any case some people still say world and link to the past were better than n64. Same with mario party, mario sports, some would argue f zero. But they didn't just have plain old bad games like some of the switch and wii u 3ds entries. Or more importantly huge missing games.
>>720776048>As someone who was a pretty big Nintendo fan in the 90sYeah, as someone who was a pretty big Nintendo fan in the 80s I'm going to have to say you're wrong. All those faults existed in the N64. But the N64 and Gamecube were still ok. Things started to go wrong in the Wii era, as success let them fully shove their heads up their asses and declare it smelled great. By the Wii U they were dead. The Wii U and Switch have still had fun games, but once they said "no price cuts" they were done. They aren't making a product for children anymore, they're making a product for Nintendo fans
>>720776828The wii had mario galaxy 1 & 2, dck returnsalong with wario land shake it, super paper mario, kirbys epic yarn, and barrel blast and jungle beat so yea I can imagine it.
>>720777228Do you even know what a ceo does?
It was just a shitty Direct, calm down.
>>720759718When Iwata and Reggie took over and every game and system was named "New" and was half-assed and rushed out. All the games from that area suck ass and the WiiU was a massive flop. The 3DS was a shitty, overrated, gimmick too.Thankfully, that period is over and they're back to their cheap/greedy no nonsense ways like the motherfucking assholes we all know and love to hate because their games and systems are actually good again.
>>720776048Gamecube was the first time I started feeling like I was getting too old for Nintendo. Wii actually kept me in and the Wii U I'll always view as wasted potential that could have been absolutely huge. Based on the current sentiment of the Nintendo fandom (or at least the guy on /v/), I'm not a core gamer since I liked the Wii, DS, and Wii U but I got bored with the Switch after about 2 years and have no desire for the Switch 2 at all. As if I desire to be viewed as a "core gamer" in the first place.
>>720778457following a shitty year, with a shitty console
>>720778414do you even know what cancer does? I've seen my dad, no one is going to be running a fucking company like that
>>720778457This would just be a regular shitty direct that could be blown off if it came midway or late into its lifespan. It being the first sets a horrible fucking tone for how shit's going to go down for the next while.
>>720778768End your pathetic life.
>>720759718paid online
>>720766091It was the one-two-three punch of SE calling the PS5 a piece of shit, Capcom calling it a barrier that makes games flop, and Capcom confirming RE9 is coming to the Switch 2.
>>720779767Yeah. It's been a rough 5 years for the PS5.

Nice page 10 bump for your seethe thread, snoy.
>>720759718Why don’t they just patent video games as a concept and destroy the entire industry? Then they’ll never have competition
>>720759718After 95 when Takashi Tezuka stopped making their games and they started outsourcing everything.
>>720767676>literally nothing good since Luigi Mansion 3Which they had nothing to do with.It was made by a Canadian studio.
