Can Nintendo ever return to these heights? It's been eight years since the last 97. They used to score this high on a regular basis. Maybe reviewers are just sick of Nintendo's shit. Nintendo destroyed a lot of good will recently with its aggressive lawsuits, so that probably isn't helping.
>>728960820>They used to score this high on a regular basisNo they didn't. They had like 2 games back-to-back with this score and /v/ got mad over it
NDS thread
BotW is mid. The game runs at like 12fps but people were so thirsty for any form of Zelda game, that it got fellated to fuck
>>728961539>The game runs at like 12fpsyou sure you're not thinking of OoT on N64?
>>728960820It isn't possible to get scores like that anymore when solo internet reviewers dependent on patreon money will deliberately tank the metascore because it'll score them $20 from anti-fanboys.
>>728961574Maybe that too, but no, I'm thinking of BotW.
>>728960903They've never had a gap even close to this large.
>>728961672How are you so sure of this?
>Nintendo destroyed a lot of good will recently with its aggressive lawsuitsmaybe stop violating their copyrights and they'll stop suing you, palfag

>>728961761If they could make a game run over 19fps, maybe people wouldn't emulate.
>nintendo NEEDS to make a game that appeals to western critics senses because... THEY JUST DO OKAY?!??!?!?!?
>nintendo ACTUALLY make games that appeal to my patrician critical senses like wahoo-man 14, racing cart 9, and cereal mascot fighter 6... THESE ARE TOO DEEP FOR WESTOIDS OKAY?!??!?!?!?
>>728960947Nintendo DS doesn't have any 97s though?
>>728962378unironically yes and yes they arepeople being mad at mario kart's open world for not having a fucking quest tracker is how i know i'm right
>>728961712Just look at Metacritic's Best Games list and check the dates.
>>728960820they were always overrated
>>728962551The open world is unironically the only good part of that game. The actual races fucking suck.
>>728963615knockout tour is fun. more kart racers need this
>>728960820>Can Nintendo ever return to these heights?Nintendo has never released a single 97 game without the Nintendo Bonus.
>>728962551Nintendo is normalnig's delight. Just because they're not scoring 97 doesn't mean there aren't legion of flies on the shit
>>728960820>8 year dry spell. Christ lol
>>728960820>Last time a Nintendo game got a 97 on metacritic the Nintendo hateforce flew in to try and tank the score with one sentence reviews.Nope
picrel just in case anyone is wondering what is the bombshell for snoy/westoids this time hes pissy over
>>728960820Fuck off Eric
>>728967818So in this case, Mortal Combat can be rated E now?
>>728960820Probably not.The Nintendo bonus is losing relevance the further away we get from Americans that grew up with the N64.Eventually, Nintendo games will just be compared to every other game and given scores that accurately represent their quality.Hopefully that will inspire Nintendo to actually make good games for adults.
grok google tears of the kingdom metacritc for me. delete my sperm bank before i off myself
