ITT: Industry villains who were ultimately vindicated >"People who play RPGs are depressed gamers who like to sit alone in their dark rooms and play slow games.”Pic related. He was 100 percent right then and even moreso now
Replace RPG with any Japanese game
>>729404675i have a cock sucking option>glog glog glog glog>h-he's So Rig-ght
>>729405441opinion*
>>729404675>hates jarpigs because "otaku bad">let Rare get bought off to some American jews computer company>the SNES CD/Hotel Mario incident>didn't lobby Sony to kick out Ken Kutaragi>proceed to buy Texan company who waste your budget that your pal Iwata lent them, because he love throwing parties.>Assured the company worships the man he assassinated's philosophy to stay cheap with hardware>flees Nintendo like a coward when Sony dominated twiceYamauchi wasn't a genius, he's just a bitter, senile hack.
>>729404675He was 100% seething that Nintendo didn't have anything close to what the industry wanted at the time and that there was finally a company that didn't treat third parties like crap.
>>729405710Not vidya related but my favorite is how he bought the Mariners just because he wanted a baseball team but didn't actually like baseball, or ever see them play, but demanded loads of oversight
mostly trueexcept people may also have different moodsbut I find games like that relaxing and easy to escape the shitty world. intense games like counter strike and fighting games are too hard for me now
>>729404675yeah surely he wasn’t a butthurt all the jrpgs jumped ship to the ps1
>>729404675that was everyone playing video games back then though
>>729404675
>>729404675>"People who play RPGs are depressed gamers who like to sit alone in their dark rooms and play slow games.”He only said this after Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy became Snoy exclusivesHe didn't say that when Nintendo had the biggest jarpigs
>>729404675yeah yeah, we get that you're mad because FF7 killed the slop64
>>729404675>He was 100 percent right then and even moreso nowWhat was the last game his name was on?
>>729406651That's fucking irrelevant. He was 100 percent right about people who love JRPGs and he's even more right today
>>729407236fucker literally left the second Rare did, he saw the writing on the wall.
>>729404675That quote is literally made up. He didn't say anything about people who play RPGs. He said that who people who own PlayStations like to sit alone and play depressing games. In context, it was likely a veiled reference to FF7 because Nintendo and Square were fighting at the time, but he never said anything about having a problem with RPGs in general.
“I have been saying this for some time, but customers are not interested in grand games with higher-quality graphics and sound and epic stories. Only people who do not know the videogame business would advocate the release of next-generation machines when people are not interested in cutting-edge technologies.”-executive producer of Starfox Adventures, Employer of future Nintendo CEO who went onto say that customers do not want online games.In any case every single knucklehead who was ever CEO of Nintendo while it was a gaming company owes the company to the man they still copy to this day.
>>729404675And then he ate shit for the remainder of his tenure and it took Iwata to revive them with the DS and Wii, the former of which was a Jarpig oasis.Yamauchi was just seething he drove off Square and other Jarpig makers by sticking to carts, even when it was obvious optical discs were made for longer story heavy games going back to the PC Engine CD.
>>729408328>it took Iwata to revive them with the DS and Wii,No that was Hiroshi too, that's how fucking useless Iwata was. He even almost killed that trying to make wii a boomer health monitor. Iwata's death literally saved them.
>>729408010>“I have been saying this for some time, but our audience (toddlers and mandchildren) are not interested in grand games with higher-quality graphics and sound and epic stories.ftfy
>dead console bereft of entire genres because no third party support>"b-baka... we didn't want them anyway"
>>729404675He really was, also it was the gateway game for feminists and the like.
>>729404675>RPG games on the N64: 8>Only 3 had an English release
>>729409253Depressed people must play RPG's, it only makes sense because Nintendo has been spamming Fire Emblem and other RPG's ever since post 911 world.>but our audience (toddlers and mandchildren) That's giving too much credit for it assumes they actually know who their audience is.
>>729404675the 64-wii era of Nintendo was dogshit
>>72941008464-switch 2*BUT the SNES is great
I don't like jrpgs because they are boring yes, but this retard has some many bad takes that this one doesn't make him based.
there's nothing wrong with being a depressed gamer sitting alone in your room playinng slow games
>>729410480No they should be slaving away in the coal mines you see.
>>729409912>quest 64>paper marioWhat's the third one
>>729410480It means your game isn't fun
>>729410551pokemon stadium
>>729410643How this dumb hunk got to be CEO of the jap nerd company main subsidiary is still beyond me
>>729411519>Because they are nothing without their western audience.Which is a clue to who their "audience" really is still to this day.
>>729405710>t.seething snoy.
>>729404675This dude almost killed Nintendo as a company
>>729404675Most of what he showed off ended up becoming industry standard
>>729412629My man was too ahead of the curve
