Yamauchi: "Up until now games have had nothing to do with movies, like I've kept on saying all this time, but now people are going on about how every game will be like a movie from now on. We've come all this way and somewhere along the line, we've forgotten that we're supposed to be making games, and not movies. Now, as a result of that, game development is turning into a circus, costs are skyrocketing, users get bored faster than ever before, and the development of truly new games -- new ways of having fun -- has all but stopped. And now, because of all that, it's getting difficult to make a profit producing video games.If we don't change the way game development is carried out, I can't see the industry or the marketplace rejuvenating itself anytime soon."Yamauchi: "There are many companies with the technology to create game software. However, truly talented and experienced individuals are extremely rare. The fact that there are few people who can create excellent games means that there are many who can create subpar games. If we leave the market to such people, anything with potential will be destroyed. The more companies compete, the more they will inevitably produce a large number of games, trying to win with the variety of software. This leads to a flood of similar, subpar game software in the market. When there are many subpar games, consumers become uncomfortable. Once that happens, the entertainment market will collapse in the blink of an eye. In order to prevent the market from collapsing due to subpar games, we had no choice but to "monopolize."
Yamauchi: "They give money to people that really should be unemployed, and they in turn round up some friends, start a company and begin creating software. But is this really the best way to go about this right now? The more amazing graphics and sound you put into a game, the longer it takes to finish. Not just a year, but now, more like a year and a half or two years. So then your development costs balloon, and when you finally put it out you have zero guarantee of it selling. That's what the game industry is today."Yamauchi: "There are many people in the industry that know nothing about games. In particular, a large American company is trying to do engulf software houses with money, but I don't believe that will go well"
Yamauchi: heh, actually contrary to popular belief, i am not mad and owned that we lost final fantasy, i actually, HEH, never wanted that series on my consoles to begin with actually!
>>722521015>Final Fantasy>2025
@grok summarize this
>>722520828wtf, why does he hate women?
>>722520828He was right about everything
>>722521015FF stopped being good like a decade after he lost it so he won in the long run
>>722521340I'm sorry Anonymous, but under the new parameters I can no longer summarize longer posts, as we here at X wish to encourage the development of attention spans and reduce the ADHD epidemic. However, I believe in you, you have the capacity to read the passage on your own. You can do it!
>>722521340"I am a butthurt old geezer who is mad that square won't make RPGs for our cartridgeslop bingformer console. I will die soon."
>>722521015Microsoft lost.Sony lost.Square Enix lost.Final Fantasy is dead.Japanese third parties lost.Nintendo won.Cartridges won.Mario won.Yamauchi won.His only mistake was allowing Square to be able to develop for the GBA. He should have let them die. All he got from that was FF Crystal Chronicles.
>>722520828shit, I'd 180 on JRPG's too if I lost Final Fantasy VII to Sony of all companies given their history
>>722520828not reading all that. happy for you
>>722520828I ain’t reading all that.I just know that Nintendo make a shitty tablet
>>722521643>Japanese third parties lost.>implying japanese third parties being gone in an era where western slop reins supreme is a legit good thing>His only mistake was allowing Square to be able to develop for the GBA. He should have let them die. All he got from that was FF Crystal Chronicles.Lmao the saltLeast delusional console peasant>Microsoft lost.>Sony lost.Yeah, so did Nintendo. PC was the real winner all along
They legitimately are better than other jarpigs tho
>>722520828He's right for RPG.Hell, I'd go even further beyond saying that every single player video-game is not worth playing. If you're not playing with or against someone, you're wasting your time.
>>722521876Ain’t nobody play that shit nerd
>>722520828So is that's why Nintendo has RPG's now that the market is full of retarded depressed games? They actually enable that? Really makes me think.
>>722521839>spoilerSega Dreamcast*
>>722521641That isn't even true anymore little bro update your shitpost protocols
>>722520828>many years later Dark Souls became the incel game of the century with millions of incels playing it in their dark coom roomsThis guy was literally a Japanese Nostradamus goddamn lol.
>>722522232NTA but you should tell that to the OP who still thinks it's 1997. (Especially since it's DQ that's the bigname RPG series now and FF fucking died)Also, nice SMT meme, that's a great RPG "little bro"
When I play a JRPG the only thing that goes through my mind is "I wish the phase transitions and animations were faster"
>My spirit will rise from the grave and the world will see i was rightHe knew sony were cocksuckers, he knew square was traitorous scum, he knew the west shall fall, he let gunpei die
Like RPGs (DQ, FF, TES, Fallout, etc)Like character action games (Mario, Kirby, etc)Like sandbox sim games (SimCity, Sims 2, Spore)Hate live service slopHate overpriced vidyaSimple as
>>722522639>he let gunpei dieAnd how is that a good thing

Tonight's Episode: "A Thinly Veiled Consolewar Thread"
>>722521571Ff rampaged through the console war like an elephant, FF7,8,9 and then 10 basically made playstation.
>>722520862>In particular, a large American company is trying to do engulf software houses with money, but I don't believe that will go wellYou know, Yamaha predicted all this
>>722521571>like a decadeFF7 prototype was developed and abandoned on the SNES, and then remade in 3D on the N64, from which it was ported to the PS1. FF7 is a nintendo game on a non-nintendo console. Every following mainline FF title is terrible.
>this fucking threadI can't believe Nintendo fanboys are legit turning into Apple fanboys now. What's next on the agenda -- Sony fanboys turning into Disney adults? Microsoft fanboys turning into... well, Microsoft fanboys?
>>722523230>FF7 is a nintendo game on a non-nintendo consoleBut it is on a Nintendo console. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/final-fantasy-vii-switch/It's not 1997 anymore, grandpa. You don't have to choose between an N64 or a PS1>>722523230>Every following mainline FF title is terrible.>implying FF9 is bad
>>722521015Why would he want to be stuck holding the bag for Spirits Within
>>722523361FF9 is a failed attempt to be what the SNES FFs actually were. FF9 is the perhaps the first example of a modern retro game.
>>722523283>Sony fanboys turning into Disney adults?They already are
>>722523369>Durrr the year isn't 2025 it's 2001Jesus CHRIST you fags are retardedIt's like you're TRYING to make me hate console fanboys (except I already do)>>722523498You can't be serious. Is your head really that far up your own ass?>>722523508True
>>722523000

>>722520862>They give money to people that really should be unemployed, and they in turn round up some friends, start a company and begin creating softwareThey called him a throwback, but he was in fact a prophet.
When Yamauchi left, the soul of Nintendo died.
This industry would rather rot than listen to his wise words
>>>/g/106799018>>>/g/106799140This is you fags right now.

>>722523808Miyamoto created most of that Yamauchi was just the Emperor approving it
The majority of people who play video games shut inside live in the west because the west has nothing going for it.The average person in the west cant just walk outside, get on their bicycle or walk to the store and or go by a ramen shop to eat lunch.It'll probably never be like this because of niggers.Japan, Korea, China, Russia, Romania or some other eastern euro country thats not liberalized are the only places in the world you can experience this.
>Boy Nintendo sure is based fuck Final Fantasy for leaving Nintendo, it is indeed the year 1997
>>722523808I don't really get the praise for Iwata desu. During his era everything was really only about Mario and Zelda, other Nintendo franchises were dead on a ditch or had crappy revivals like Star Fox Zero and those god awful Metroid spin-offs. People seem to forget pretty quickly
>>722524114>The majority of people who play video games shut inside live in the west because the west has nothing going for it.Yamauchi was talking about Japanese neets there was plenty of them even in his day.
>>722520828This guy barely knew what a video game was btw. There's a reason Iwata was promoted to president he basically made the company what it was with sheer hard work and know-how
Why are consolefags so far up their own ass and pretend 20+ year old feuds are still happening when in reality the "rival companies" they each suck the cocks of actually *work together* to fuck everyone over>reminder that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft were all part of the same cabal that lobbied against Stop Killing Games
>>722524087Most of those IPs went to shit under Iwata. Donkey Kong became a shovelware franchise

>>722524449A lot of it is shills anon, it isnt genuine back-and-forth between people. They are ""trying"" to get the new generation in on the company wars because that fuels sales and support.You reply to one of them during their manufactured argument, either in support or with a question, then they can respond with hostility, and bam, you're a supporter of whatever the opposite the guy that responded to you liked. Spite is a powerful tool.

Fuck this consolewar thread, now it's a retro console threadRate your favorite retro consoles. I'll start>S: PS2, NDS, Wii>A: GBA, PS1, N64>B: GCN, Dreamcast
>>722520828He's right but does Nintendo follows that now? One gimmick per game is not "new way of having fun", SMT and Larian games *have* interesting combat
What happened during the N64 days with the third parties trying to Caesar Nintendo showed Yamauchi that leave the keys to success in someone else's hands is a bad idea.
>>722525185What about OG XBOX?
>>722525593>SMT>interesting combatIt's just edgy Pokémon lets not get ahead of ourselves
>>722525729Eh, forgot about that. maybe B>>722525758NTA but>It's just le edgy pokemonSMT came before Pokemon. Pokemon is "non-edgy SMT".
>>722525634>that leave the keysesl
Nintendo's trajectory is going in the opposite direction though.Now they're taking the Game Freak/TPC business model and making cheap, minimal effort (if not outright unfinished) slop because they know they can get away with it.
>>722522357???
>>722526008
>>722525185>PS2>Retro
>>722526792PS2 has been out for over 20 yearsTo some, Wii/X360/PS3 is retro now too
>>722526008>making cheap, minimal effort (if not outright unfinished) slop because they know they can get away with it.Such as?
>>722520828sounds more like a seething retard the nintendo 64 was dogshit lol
>>722527027Mario Kart World as the latest example.That empty world and those shitty intermissions aren't worth their alleged 8 years of supposed development time.
>>722527027Mario Kart World>B-But it's not cheap!Mario 35>B-but it's not slop!Virtual Boy netflix
>>722526978PS2 is retro because it was in the last gen designed with crt tv limits in mind.Xbox 360/PS3 are vintage, in which 4chan is yet to create a board for it.
I just play RPGs as a cope because I have the reaction time of a sloth and suck at everything else
>>722520828This was not yet the case at the time when he was spouting out these things.The man got cucked by Sony.He was right about the trajectory where the vidya industry is heading into.
When Nintendo finally takes over Japan for good, to celebrate they should hold a public whipping of Harada in front of Nintendo HQ.
