Why is Modern Nintendo so soulless and corporate compared to Classic Nintendo?
Youre old
>>729200785That's a non-sequitur
>>729200731Nintendo really hasn't changed much, though they have changed. I think they experiment a little less than in the past. Kinda feels like they chase trends a little more these days, and have less of a focus on quality. I do think I prefer classic Nintendo, but there's a lot of good to be found in the Switch library.I think it's undeniable that they are very much a dominant market force right now and are positioned to milk it rather than take risks.
>>729200731They rely exclusively on legacy and lawsuits instead of fun and creativity. Sure classic Nintendo did dumb or scummy things in the past but modern Nintendo is way worse.While there was definitely censorship on older Nintendo games such as FF6 having certain colored pixels to cover up nudity on some enemies, modern Nintendo has insulting and blatant forms of censorship for Mature-rated games like the Switch version of The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy.Franchises during classic era had levels and settings that felt exclusive to the franchise such as Donkey Kong Country having jungles. Franchises these days involve levels that are very interchangeable with other franchises such as the levels in the latest Donkey Kong looking like they could be Super Mario levels.The good old days may not have been perfect but they were better in many ways.
>>729200731This is one of the worst aged meme pics here but no oldfag tendie has the courage to admit it. I'd be fucking ashamed of myself having Iwata on my wall.
>>729200731Because greed is the Devil, and the Devil gets hold of a lot of people, especially CEO's. Current Nintendo is soulless because their CEO, alongside probablly a good chunk of their other "higher ups" are, in fact, soulless businessmen. Iwata was special in that regard. Even Yamachi was special in that regard, because he firmly believed in staying low power hardware-wise would equal better and more creative games. Both had other shortcomings, though. Even the N64 was low power, eventhough it was super high end back then, because you could have just like 20 or 30 people working on it in order to create a super-hit. Another important point: What is hurting Nintendo right now is the overall technical standard within the industry. Massive Teraflops, huge amounts of storage space, Gigabytes of ram, is all standard now, and with it the standard visual expectations of a game across the wide population are super high. You almost always need 100 plus people to make a super hit now, so naturally everyone is trying to play it safe, which hurts the soulfullness of games.
>>729203292I've said before that I would have been content with Wii graphics for a few more years even up to the Switch launch. Consumer's increasing expectations for graphics has made gaming worse overall.
>>729203939>I've said before that I would have been content with Gamecube graphics for a few more years even up to the Switch launch. FTFY
>>729203939That's why it's sad we don't have true gaming handhelds now. They used to always be significantly less powerful than their homeconsole counter-parts and less expensive to develop for, yet they had tons of amazing games. They were affordable, too. Also, because they were portable, nobody expected them to feature super high end graphics, so the wide population had much lower expectations. They still sold millions, though. I don't know, maybe the crazy solution to all this shit, is to bring back low-powered consoles again. Make them dirt cheap, so everyone can afford them. Maybe such a strategy could sell millions of copies again.
>>729202389Yeah, but it's funny to have a framed photo of some dead Japanese guy on your wall.
>>729204546Nah, Wii graphics were just much easier to appreciate at least at 480p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5JPYQeHE7M>>729204652Smartphones and tablets devoured the handheld market.
>>729202353>>729200836>>729200731Men only want one thing, and it's disgusting.
>>729205129>Nah, Gamecube graphics were just much easier to appreciate FTFY. What you're really appreciating is Panasonic allowing them to finally use full sized disks so that they wouldn't have to pay royalties to Sony. In other words they adopted old technology (again).
>>729206352I don't know how to reply to this. Is this anon a zoomer with a poor understanding of computer technology and a victim of snoy indoctrination? I would have been sure it would have been bait 8 years ago.
>>729206803>They then did it with switch 2. A console that has literally no reason to exist because switch already fulfills it.As did Wii U 3ds etc etc. This isn't a new thing for big N.> I would have been sure it would have been bait 8 years ago.And the only reason Gamecube had disks was because phillips let hem use it without Royalties for Sony. If it were really to "push creativity in a smaller package", they wouldn't have upped the size of the fucking disk now would they have? You can't exactly fit those higher res textures on a fucking mini disk can you?
>>729200731The more comfortable Nintendo is, the worse they are because they don't have to try and innovate.The post-switch era has been the most comfortable they've been in a long time.
>>729200731Nintendo has always been 15 years behind the trends which is why the always somewhat felt fun but now what they are caught up to is the worst era of gaming and its what they are copying.
>>729203292Reminder that Iwata was the one that started shit like amiibo's and paid DLC. No one one ever remembers that it was during the 3DS that they experimented with F2P garbage and shit like locking entire difficulty modes behind amiibos
>>729200836>raye suxDAMN RIGHTFUCK SKY STRIKER
>>729200731>>729200836this shrine is over 20 years old now
>>729211548>No one one ever remembersAnd apparently you don't remember that he put up the most resistance to DLC and mobile and only caved in to placate myopic shareholders while they were in the red.
>>729211634>and only caved in to placate myopic shareholders while they were in the red.Oh so it's not that comfy Nintendo is worst Nintendo then?
>>729201240>chase trendsthis is double think. since when was it bad to just build on top of something else or what someone else is doing? Would FS be trand chasing too since ER is open world and nieghtrein is fucking multiplayer?? Or is it just them wanting to put their own spin? What about the fact that some players like some trends? The only major trend that should go the fuck away is live service bullshit and I guess DEI too but idk Nintendo barely has as much controversy with that unlike EVEN FUCKING SONY
>>729212112Uncomfy Nintendo is worst Nintendo. Comfy Nintendo is 2nd worst. Best Nintendo is somewhere in between.
>>729200731Is it possible for Nintendo to go private? I think it's time
>>729212648Yeah I pretty much agree despite my love of the switch 1. SNES and 3DS proves this. Successful but not turbo normie
>>729201827>They rely exclusively on legacybut enough about valve inc.
>>729201240>positioned to milk it rather than take risks..... is that not what the fucking GBA and SNES were? and even gamecube?
>>729200731Life itself is very chaotic today. Nothing wrong with sometimes playing it safe and just sticking with what fucking works
>>729203939that's basically what the 3DS was
>>729200731Nintendo is finally turning from a Toy Company into a Media Company.
>>729213916is there really a difference?
>>729213916I think a lot of this has more to do with the shitty economy and how FUCKED tech is in general
Its always the fucking cubies bitching about kinotendo while reminiscing about their shitty flop childhood nintendo
>>729200731Sega needs to comeback to making consoles
>>729200731Any large publisher trends towards being shit as the layers of bureaucracy get larger, they need to contend with shareholders and Japanese companies in particular promote seniors to positions they are unqualified for, but can never be removed from until they are promoted again.A publisher is inherently a soulless middleman, the only solution is to make them into desperate, mentally ill rabble by dissolving IP law.
>>729200731Easy: It's because all the investors and so-called "CEO" are business and finance majors and kikes who couldn't give half a fuck about gaming. Simple as that, I solved this shit, next.
>>729202389You do realise that the picture on the wall isn't the only reason this got memed? Are you a favela dweller?
>>729215434ok but furukawa grew up with NES and likes fire emblem apparently
>>729215323>layers of bureaucracy get largerbeing able to make a shit ton of games is bureaucracy? Nintendo can be bureaucratic sometimes but other companies just have it WAY fucking worse. Like rockstar TAKING A WHOLE FUCKING DECADE with nothing released. And then of course the meme that is "valve time" where they take forever and even if they make something sometimes its shit like CS2.
>>729216104seriously like with CS2 WTF were they thinking??? Did valve even TRY to put effort here?
>>729200731>>729200836cubesnoy thread
You got older.
>>729216104Look at the recent wave of open world slop they are putting out. It's all development that goes over-budget and misses deadlines, but has managed to burst the dam anyway in such a fashion that nearly every game does it.In a functioning business they would have had the oversight to force most of these games to pivot into more effective development or outright cancel them, instead this style of incoherent and meandering development has become common enough to induce fatigue.
>>729216458ok but you act like its all games but there's still some more AAish games from Nintendo like Switch sports and I guess Mario wonder. Them making smaller games is still possible
>>729200731>>729200836You know its over when the Nintendo Rape Dungeon starts to look comfy>plenty of water>a soda and some food>plenty of vidyaI mean, throw in a more comfortable seating arrangement and it's not even that bad if there's HVAC
