>>729443938They care about being fun.
>>729443947Kids want a PC/PS/Xbox to play major game releases or flavor of the month multiplayer games (sloppa)This guy is doing the right thing forcing them to play the nintendo franchises he grew up with (kino)
>>729443938They're just supposed to be fun platformers, party games and other non-high fidelity entertainment. I don't own a Switch 2 but Mario games are 100x more fun than COD or your average sportsball game to me.
kudos to the dad for not being an out of touch boomer who would waste money on an xbox past the 360 era
>>729444078i need some challenge in order to have fun and every singleplayer nintendo game looks unbelievably easy, which is not fun for me
they probably already have an xbox, how else does the dad have a box? The xbox is probably the "dad's xbox" and they get to play on it already.
>>729443938They used to be very innovative back on the NES, SNES and N64 eras, then they pivoted towards polish and toddler appeal.
I think, OP should consider a KYS scenario.

>>729443651So that fag already bought an xsex unit or just dumpster dived to get an empty box?
One of the younguns at Christmas got a Switch 2 and I was kind of jealous. I've been milling over getting that or the 'eck and I think I might pull the trigger on the switchie.
>>729443651>"OMG thanks dad! I can now join my friends in Call of D-"

>>729443651>Wiiu in the switch 2 box
>>729444708Some people sell their accounts to indian shills
>>729444747LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
>>729444747Nintendo consoles and games are designed with nintendo adults in mind, not children.
>>729444053you can do that with any game
>>729444747They used to sell to kids, they sell to young adults now.
>>729444881>Nintendo consoles and games are designed with nintendo adultsyeah, that cardboard shit really was intended for adults
>these fucking soibeard nintendo dads living vicariously through their kids cringe>they should be playing Cowadoody like I was when I was a kidare FPSconsole retards really this unaware
>>729444881If that was true, they wouldn't have greatly dumbed down Metroid in Prime 4.
>>729443938They're hard and frustrating, but also fun.t: last nintendo game I ever played was super mario all stars for SNES.
>>729443938Brand recognition
>>729443651fuck consoles
>>729444097imo the big thing is that there's not many companies making games like nintendo. if you want to bing bing wahoo, you've got like astro bot and indie games, that's it. if you wanna kart race you can play sonic instead now at least, but there's no real mario party equivalent. meanwhile fps games are a dime a dozen.
>>729444502You think he bought an Xbox just to throw it away and put a Switch 2 inside its box?Chances are both are his consoles, or that he legit bought the Switch 2 for his kid but figured he could get karma if he took a photo of it like this.
>>729443938No legit answer can be surmised by asking an army of brainless brand loyalists
>all the posters itt assuming the kids haven't been asking the parents a lot for a switch 2 already and this is just a fun little fakeoutif they haven't asked for a switch 2 then this is a bit fucked yeah and just reeks of a tendie pushing for the kids to be like them, but nobody here has any idea about the situation
>>729444637>safe for kindsNot with all the grooming tranny drawings
>>729445524The whole point of having kids is so when you die, you don't really die. If your kids aren't identical clones of you, then you have failed as a parent.
>>729444727>raising your son to be a blm normaltroonYikes! His classmates will cut off their penis by the time they are 16 while Anon Jr. experiences ludo.
>>729443938Faggots+nintendo are still clinging to the days of the NES, SNES and n64 where there were plenty of good games on there. Gamecube was already dwindling and the last good console they released. The wii had bayonetta I suppose
>>729444275Yes. My child should be awesome and have great taste like me.
>>729443651Xbox and playstation are pathetic jokes today, it's hilarious
>>729445524>all the postersthere's probably one person responsible for most of the posts on this thread.
Thinking about it logically, you wouldn't get a Series X if you already have a PS5. Which implies he doesn't. And im not a Switch 2 hater, its a cool device, but Id rather have the Seriss X in that position.
I won't believe it until Pirat Nation posts a screencap of this thread. He's the only news source I trust.
>>729443765>>729443779I'm glad I'm not autistic enough to be angry about a gift.
>>729445728Bayonetta came out first on 360/PS3 and Bayonetta debuted on the Wii U (lol), no Bayonetta on Wii.
>>729445967I was talking about bayonetta 2,should have specified that. Really wanted to play that one but alas. It was on the one console I had no interest in, metroid prime 3 looked interesting as well but not enough to get me to buy it
>>729445598kek, you probably actually believe this
>>729446073So should I apparently I forgot the 2 also.2 is great though you should play it if you get the chance.
>>729445924Why would the parents do this to begin with?
>>729443651>kids excited he can finally watch his 4k blurays, play call of duty, listen musicwhile playing minecraft>forced to bingbing wahoo insteadGrim, this is how you get your kids to move out before theyre adults
>>729443651did no one pause to consider how the poster got the Xbox box to do this prank?
>>729446239They wouldn't. It's the internet and shit is fake all the time. You really think a child that wanted a switch 2 would really care that much he got the other $400+ game box as a gift?This shit is made for attention and nothing else.
>>729443938You wouldn't get it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oJmGLLDpp0Same audience btw
>>729443938Nintendo's the last major publisher that actually keeps a large suite of in-house developers who develop games SPECIFICALLY tailored to their own consoles.Sony and Microsoft effectively just pay off 3rd party devs to timelock their in-progress games to their current systems, like Tim Sweeny does with Epic. The sole exception is Team Asobi but that's basically just the dying remnants of Japan Studio after Sony raped them and left them for dead.
>>729443938I'm 30 and the only Nintendo game I have ever played in my entire life was Mario Kart at a friend's house, which was fun. I can fairly confidently say that if you don't grow up with them you will never, ever see the appeal, because I don't.
Dang this is crazy y'all! Posting this to reddit right now!
>>729443915Eric is a state of mind
>>729446801whenever someone tells me they're into pokemon i get the same visceral disgust that i get when someone tells me they're into league of legends.
>>729446945What games do you play now, out of curiousity?
>>729443651The faggot coming out of the closet as a trans
>>729443938Judaism and negrophilia
>>729443938There isn't a universal appeal to "Nintendo games". If you think there has to be or you'd never play a single one, you're wayyyyy more biased than you think.
I prefer the library offered by Xbox, but considering other factors, getting a nintendo console instead is much better. Xbox is fucking dead and useless. kids should be introduced to pc gaming regardless of what's going on with prices. pc has all the games Xbox offers and gives you so much freedom to play how you want. if the kids are very young and strictly console gamers then nintendo has smash and some jrpgs they can spend their time on.
>>729446904It's disturbing how people ignore how the industries have gotten worse and worse without healthy competition system exclusives bring and instead outright to kill the last standing one as a means to make everything that much worse.
>>729443938It's weird because Nintendo games were heavily stigmatized not even 10 years ago, I think that the death of toxic masculinity in video games and the push towards inclusivity did a lot to bring Nintendo games back into being acceptable. You were a fag if you were playing Mario or Pokemon from 2000 to around 2015~, the only socially acceptable Nintendo game to play was Metroid and maybe Zelda but even then after 2011, you'd be told to play Dark Souls instead of playing as a faggy little elf. Nintendo might be the sole beneficiary of the woke push in vidya making all the previously cool franchises lame and gay instead.
>>729443938they don't take themselves seriously and they don't make mature games for modern audiences
>>729447940none of this is true.
>>729443991>The kids wanted to play COD and some EA sports game and now theyll be going down the tranny pipelinePlaying Nintendo games does not make you trans. AGP is a comorbidity of autism and Nintendo games appeal to the autistic brain. With their bright colors and structured, repetitive gameplay. I grew up on Nintendo and never trooned out.
>>729447026Irony
>>729447940>You were a fag if you were playing Mario or Pokemon from 2000 to around 2015~, the only socially acceptable Nintendo game to play was Metroid and maybe Zelda but even then after 2011, you'd be told to play Dark Souls instead of playing as a faggy little elf. I think you just knew a lot of dudebro retards.
>it is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to get an empty xbox box unless you buy an xbox yourself>henceforth id go pro XBAWKS WINS AGAIN baybeeee4channelers are retarded
>>729443938family friendly games. famicom = family company
>>729444484The campaigns simulate being in an 80s action movie. Good horde modes too. We’re talking 2007-2012 era COD here, of course
>>729448058>>729448087Even on /v/, Nintendo was mercilessly mocked during the Wii and Wii U era. It was for casuals, fags, and kids. It's like how anime used to be uncool but then became popular after western media got pozzed.
>>729443938Working in a physical store, I see clients who never touch No-Mario games. We have Metroid 4, Xenoblade, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, Skyrim and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Houses, but clients only choose Mario Kart and Mario Maker.Imagine limiting your options to the Italian dude
I'd be pissed and break the Switch 2 into brittle little pieces, then ask my mom's boyfriend to get me an Xbox instead.
>>729448203Pretty sure the com stood for computer but whatever
>>729443938Game design wise, at it's best, Nintendo basically comes up with one mechanic and then crafts an entire game around that mechanic and does the absolute most it can do with that one mechanic.So if you care about games on a mechanical level, that's where it's at.Simple example: platformers existed for years before Super Mario Bros. was a thing. Yet SMB was the first platformer ever where you could defeat enemies by... jumping on them. Because that was the approach, the game was crafted around the act of jumping so just about every interaction is now achieved by jumping including "getting loot" via the ?-Blocks. More modern example would be Splatoon where just about anything is done by painting the ground, wall or an object.Or hell... Kirby Air Ride, an entire game with a shitload of content crafted around a single button and they had the gall to add a second button (that you use like once every 2 minutes) to the sequel. But the entire game is crafted around that ONE button.Best way to explain it is that it's Indie game design philosophy but with AAA-level budgets. Or think about it that way: the (best) Nintendo games are like a pure 6 hour slow cooked Argentine steak. No sauces, no nothing, just the good juicy steak and nothing to taint it's taste. While most other games are a mediocre steak, with fries, lettuce and just slathered in all sorts of sauces. Yes it is a more diverse collection of tastes, but the steak itself, even if it's the core piece of the meal, may not have the quality it should have and it's taste is drowned out by all the other things.As an outsider looking in yes, the lone steak doesn't look very impressive compared to the combined meal, you have to actually taste it to notice the difference.
>>729448310>Even on /v/,4chan has shitposters for everything.>like how anime used to be uncool but then became popular after western media got pozzedanime was mainstream popular for like a decade before the sjw media movement, maybe 2 decades depending on how you perceive "mainstream".
>>729443938Nintendo games are the equivalent of children’s cartoons. The stories are all simple, the morals are shouted in your face instead of being subtly written between the lines, the gameplay is easy and basic. It’s like Gerber in videogame form
>>729448498>anime was mainstream popular for like a decade before the sjw media movementNot really, it was cool with kids that then grew out of it like with Nintendo. The best way to look at it is probably with Persona. Persona 3 was seen as for being huge losers, everyone made fun of Fatlus back then. Persona 4 wasn't as bad but you were still a loser for playing Persona. Then Persona 5 is somehow insanely popular with normalfags despite arguably being worse than the other 2 and it's seen as a cool game.
>>729448310Yeah, because the Wii was explicitly a casualfag-targeting console and the Wii U shit the bed for the first 5 years. People still fucking loved the DS/3DS retard.
>>729443938Watching my son play them makes me happy, because he is happy.
>>729448714>People still fucking loved the DS/3DS retard.The Nintendogs machine was also seen the same way. It used to be a meme where the nerdy kids in college would be playing Pokemon on their DS so it was uncool, it was like playing World of Warcraft. You were a loser, that was the stigma.
>>729448203yeah it's>>729448431"family computer"why the fuck would they name their console "family company"?
>>729448704>everyone made fun of fatlus back thenI don'y know what makes you think that old /v/ was immune to a handful of people being opinionated and making some pretty funny but otherwise shitpost-y MSPaint comics specifically to make fun of someone in a thread, but you coke across like a total newfag. Fatlus being a meme doesn't mean the majority of people genuinely hated Atlus as a company, dumbass.
>>729448704no, anime has been popular in the west for a generation. Persona was not seen as for losers, it was just not mega popular like it is.
>>729448865>the nintendogs machineYou need to quit LARPing as being older than you are, this is just embarassing.
>>729444092>Kids want a PC/PS/Xbox to play major game releasesLOLKids want to play Roblox and Minecraft.
>>729448865Actual friendless retard, I was in college for the golden age of wild world and swapnote and not only was it popular, it was a fantastic way to meet women. The 3ds and New Leaf only made it more so.>but but the chads and Stacy'sgenuinely kill yourself fag
>>729448947Gamefaqs was like that, the spinoff boards were like that, and Something Awful was especially like that and that was where the entire internet got their opinions(including /v/) which meant all the smaller boards shared that sentiment. >>729448983No, people fell out of it in college for the most part and Persona was absolutely ofr losers. Weeb culture was still very insular and niche back then, it was not mainstream. >>729449097The cool game to play with friends was Guitar Hero/Rock Band and then MW2. You were looked down upon by everyone else, which doesn't matter because fuck everyone else but that's just how it goes.
>just put my switch 2 up for saleI played what I wanted to play on it, and everything else looks like its gonna be dogshit anywayIf for some ungodly reason it turns out to be kino ill just buy another one, ill have vacation money by then anyway
>>729449310You are absolutely a zoomer pretending to be older and failing, LOL
>>729449492>i'm not a zoomer you are>i have no retort btwSo were you on CE, RI, or LUE? Maybe board 8?
>>729449310there were weebs and there were people that liked anime and other japanese media.you lived in a 4chan bubble, or your perception is completely warped.
>>729449310>were looked down upon by everyone else,yeah man i'm sure the system with 152 million lifetime sales without targeting the casualfag audience was DEFINITELY unpopularfucking retard
>60k likeskekit's so joever for Xbox
>>729449761Anime was still firmly "for losers" back in the days where the big shows were Haruhi and Lucky Star. Everyone hid their powerlevels for a reason.>>729449913>ds >not for casualsThis is bait, right? It sold well because it appealed to casuals unlike something more "hardcore" like the PSP. There was a lot of double dipping too because the DS Lite was much better than the OG model.
>>729450384The DS had casual games, but wasn't explicitly targeting casuals on a hardware level the same way the Wii was.
>>729450384what was TTGL then? unpopular, or also for losers?what about toonami?
Based make sure you repost this picture because reactions to people reacting to things are so kekw
>>729450474A lot of the hardcore games weren't on DS though, at least in Japan where the PSP was the otaku machine and the PSP got the grittier games for teens/adults in the west too. The DS was definitely popular because of casuals and most importantly kids. In an era before smartphones were ubiquitous, handhelds were important for kids. It was an easy way to parents to get their kids to shut up on a car or plane ride and kids wanted one to play on the bus to school. It was also a way to socialize with others at school, which is why Pokemon blew up the way it did with Red and Blue because you'd have groups of kids all trading and battling at recess. For nips, that's how MonHun became popular.>>729450693For losers, yes. Toonami is something people watched as kids and then "grew out" of for high school because it was seen as uncool. Adult Swim would be the actual block to bring up since those anime were for older audiences but even those weren't seen as cool and Cowboy Bebop was on that.Really, just go check youtube for "anime club hare hare yuki" and realize that the fanbase was so cringe that it not only kept people away but also kept people from wanting to be seen as being like them at all.
DS/3DS were popular. All the nonsense you see online is just Xbox/sony fanboys shitposting 24/7
>>729443938Homosexuality
>>729451361>A lot of the hardcore games weren't on DS thought. wasn't paying attention
>>729444078yeah rock climbing in zelda is "fun"
>>729444498There is that.
>>729451521Genuinely, yes, it is. Until you get a ton of stamina food or max out the bar through upgrades, having to be careful and pay attention to where your next foothold is is actually pretty fucking fun.
>>729451361>watched as kids and then "grew out" of for high school because it was seen as uncoolI don't know where you grew up but that was just not true anywhere for me. not in the east coast US, and not across the internet. what you say sounds like shit I'd read on 2007 /b/, which is/was a tiny and weird part of the internet. I don't need to check any video. I know there were weebs and cringey people. doesn't mean they were viewed as the representatives of people that liked anime. anime has had a broad reach and has been for normalfaggots for this whole millennium.
>>729451848>doesn't mean they were viewed as the representatives of people that liked animeNo, they absolutely were. It's the same as all World of Warcraft players being viewed as no life virgin losers. Weebs were made fun of online too, anime being actually mainstream and not hyper niche is new and definitely happened after Crunchyroll went legit. Which is honestly probably a large part of it, anime episodes were expensive as fuck back then, like $30 for 4 episodes and pirating anime was more time consuming then because you had to use a computer and grab .rm files off a peer to peer file sharing service when a lot of people were still stuck on 56k.
>>729443651twice the disappointment.
>>729443938Nintendo makes the only AAA games where you can actually control your character. Other AAA devs rely on shit like slow-turning and magnetism to make their games more "cinematic" and feels like I'm controlling a jittering tank with half-second delay.
>>729452357>It's the same as all World of Warcraft players being viewed as no life virgin losers.I didn't play that but tons of my friends did, and nobody had that sort of view about it. are you basing this off of south park or something? nobody cared. disparaging people for these kinds of interests was barely existent. >pirating anime was more time consuming then because you had to use a computer and grab .rm files off a peer to peer file sharing service when a lot of people were still stuck on 56kwhat time period are you talking about? before I was streaming anime on the many streaming sites available, I was pirating episodes on ares. I was streaming in the mid 2000s, and pirating at the same time or just a bit earlier.
>>729443938Not a nintendo fag and that company is very easy to hate for the shit they do but at least they're the only big company that still tries to make video games fun and not hyper realistic movie shit

Streaming was later 2000's, I remember people streaming Bleach in 240p and everyone was telling them to go on IRC and use XDCC.
