Shareholders are worried because Nintendo's quality control appears to have slipped in the last two years. Let's go through this carefully.1. Echoes of Wisdom has the lowest Metacritic score of any Zelda game in decades. Nintendo entrusted the game to the first female game director in the company's history, and she ultimately failed to knock it out of the park for reasons unknown.2. Metroid Prime 4 has a lower Metacritic score than Other M. Nintendo and Retro entrusted the game's writing to a millennial trans activist, and she ultimately failed to knock it out of the park for reasons unknown.3. Mario and Luigi Brothership: lowest Metacritic of any Mario RPG in recent memory.4. Donkey Kong Banaza, while praised, also had a low Metacritic score compared to the devs' previous games.5. Mario Kart World had the lowest Metacritic score of any mainline Mario Kart game.Need I go on?Whether because of a crackdown on crunch culture, a rise of lazy millennial devs who prefer to troon out than turn out good content, or simply a decline of institutional knowledge as older devs retire and fail to pass on their skills, Nintendo is facing an unprecedented decline in software quality, a decline that will prove hard to reverse.Oh, sure, Nintendo shareholders have been nervous before, but always because of hardware issues (the Wii U), never software. Software quality is the ultimate test of Nintendo's corporate health, and right now that health ain't looking good.
dont care still buying it
mhm gonna slurp the tasty dip
Anyone claiming that Bananza is bad is a FUCKING MORON
>>730780580>Need I go on?Yes
>>730780580I also like making up bullshit for attention too OP.
>>730780580>Mario Kart World had the lowest Metacritic score of any mainline Mario Kart game.Didn't they put fucking super circuit as the highest?
>>730780580>in the last two years.
>>730780758Water tastes better when you're in a desert.
>>730780580It's a boomer cult. They will always outperform every other vidya brand.
>>730780580Echoes was a better Zelda game and better at doing an open world for the series than Botw and totk.
>>730780908>food analogy
>>730780758My singular complaint is that DK isle should have been a part of the main game.
>>730780885this. The shitch as a console was low fucking quality and THAT WAS A HANDHELD + HOME CONSOLE MERGEDfucking embarassing how the joycons drift, how easily the console would overheat, and the kekstand
>>730780580shareholders are a joke, i still remember when nintendo stock dropped because they decided to not crunch on the release of animal crossing
>>730780580I don't care about any of those games you mentioned besides DK and I thought that game was great. Are people being harder on the game because it doesn't have Mario on it?
>>730780580>Need I go on?No, I think you made your point. No need for this thread to keep going, really.
>>730780580GOODI didn't buy and won't, even if Kirby Air Riders is fun as fuck. Let's keep the pressure up and make sure they know game keycards are cancer and unwelcome.
>Nintendo's quality control appears to have slipped in the last two years>in the last two yearsTry twenty. Iwata was the death of quality control. He fell too hard on the "work as a safe, relaxed environment" meme to offset the years of his predecessor's tyranny. The reality is we needed both of their extremes to fuse together where people who love to develop video games thrive and the people who are their primarily for work are held accountable to their lead's standards.But now we have a bunch of lead designers/producers and first-party devs with no standards, who don't care enough to know how to design good vidya. So we get shit, or worse, shit that's trying to copy shit (I.E. Ubisoft, Open World, Microtransactions, DLC, etc...) and doing it infinitely worse.Legitimately there is not a single Nintendo produced/developed game released in the last 15 or so years that I'd rather play over titles like Dragon's Dogma, Far Cry 4, Deus Ex, Stardew Valley, and Rocket League.These niggas are completely irrelevant at every genre except Platforming, and they're not even great at that anymore. Nevermind they're so fucking few and far between releases. I mean goddamn, Odyssey came out almost a decade ago.STOP FUCKING DEVELOPING MARIO SPORTS GAMES, NOBODY CARES. MAKE A WII SPORTS SEQUEL WITH MARIO SKINS AND END THIS INSUFFERABLE REPACKAGING OF SHITTY, LOW EFFORT MARIO PARTY-TIER """SPORTS""" TITLES.FUCK.
>>730781279This. Plus making the launch models a paper-weight until you got the day 1 patch left a bad taste in my mouth. I will just buy a used system at this point, but they can still get some software sheckles from me if they try and remedy the key shit.
>1. Echoes of Wisdom has the lowest Metacritic score of any Zelda game in decades.wrong>2. Metroid Prime 4 has a lower Metacritic score than Other M.good>3.>recent memory.fag>4.

>>730781008OOOOOOH BANANA
>>730781585>Pass user since 2013
Brothership got vastly overshadowed by Expedition 33, which is basically M&L gameplay but artsy fartsy. It's an alright entry.
>>730780580Guys, this is it. This is the moment we've been waiting for over 40 yearsNintendo is finally going to die!!!!!!!Any day now... I promise.... this time it's really going to happen.
nintendo lost their premium aurano cap
>>730780580>>Shareholders are worried because...The increase in RAM prices are going to either fuck Nintendo's margins on their console sales or result in increased prices resulting in lower sales across the board. Both result in lower profitability.Shareholders do not care about review scores my nigga.
>>730781585>t. pass user
>>730780580They let woke shit over take their games.Im not buying a single game from them until I know that poison has left their system.
eric won
>>730780580so nintendo games are finally being rated appropriately instead of vastly inflated scores? Wow, what a tragedy.
>>730780580Bananza is literally one of the top 5 best games ever made
>>730782106
>>730781894I am fine with bridging the generation gap over giving the middle finger to corporate motherfuckery.
why am I supposed to care about the stock price?
>>730780580Good thing I'm not a shareholder so I have nothing to worry about.
>>730780969I was actually pleasently suprised at how close to the normal zelda experience it was despite the open world and copy mechanic, sadly they'll learn nothing from it and go full bore with the TOTK "make your own fun" sandbox desert model
>>730781895Nintendo negotiates stuff like that so far ahead of time and are relatively insulated because the Switch 2 is old tech. They've got a couple years at least. It'll probably affect the timing of the refresh.
>>7307805801. reasons known, it's because the game can be broken easily with just the bed.2. Not entirely the fault of the writing it's been established that Nintendo did not let Retro fully reset the scrapped version they already had before handing over the reigns due to sunk cost fallacy which sabotaged the game's quality3. Brothership is miles better than Dream Team and Paper Jam combined4. You are a retard5. Valid critique on Mario Kart World, it still sold millions though. Seethe.Go peddle your incel rhetoric somewhere else
>>730780580>knock it out of the parkAm I ESL for not having heard or read this expression ever or is OP's post the shill ESL?
>>730782635You've never heard that? Its a phrase that comes from Baseball

>>730781658>gif>>730782740No, never. I don't watch or haven't played baseball ever but I should've still have seen it used once on normie media. It's really strange.
>>730781008>he eats his water
>>730780821super KINO
>>730780758It was mid at best
>>730783491you didn't play it
Still buying a Switch 2
Still not buying a shitch 2
Still keeping my Switch 2 that I boughted at launch
>>730783510I did actually. The game was mindless. It was piss easy busting through everything and bosses were a fucking joke. If you turned your brain off to consider this game amazing I ask you to turn it back on now, if that's even possible for you. It was an okay 3D plat, nothing particularly special about it besides the novelty of destroying terrain
>>730783513You outed yourself by using the term "tendie" unironically.
>>730784030Now I know for sure you've never played it lol
>>730784114If you say so. Maybe you're so mentally deficient you found it challenging.
>>730780969It still had the stink of "le make your own fun" which kinda ruined the whole game. When I can just summon minions to fight for me, at virtually no cost, there's no challenge to be had.
>>730784201Keep the insults coming. I'm sure some tendie will come along and get triggered like you are hoping.
Nintendo is going under and there's nothing anyone here can do about it.You retards treat everything like a joke.
>>730780758It's ugly and terrible you blind retard.
>>730784267fpbp
>>730784280You didn't play it
>>730782106It has good moments, but it's repetitive.
>>730783513buy it already it's been out for 7 months
>>730784254>Keep the insults comingSure thing. You're also a faggot. I notice you're not actually denying anything I said, maybe you're the one that didn't actually play it.
>>730782780How else are you supposed to objectively measure the quality of games?
>>730780580Its going to get worse. The only big hitter for Nintendung is Migrant Emblem. This was developed before Japan became dangerously based and rejected the DEI slop.
>>730784316Don't have to play it. Just like nobody has to see evidence to know that Trump is a pedophile.
>>730784316I'd kill myself if i had to control that disgusting animal Kong, i can't even say his name.
>Everyone who played Bananza loved it and thinks its a top 10 game of all time!>I didn't like it that much>You didn't play it.It's just that easy, huh?
why don't investors just murder low scoring metacritics are they stupid
>>730784343Okay
>>730784441Every DK game post DKC3 has been garbage. Yes, including the N64 one.
>>730784380I'd kill myself if I were you too
>>730784510You didn't play them.
>>730784441>Everyone who played Bananza loved it and thinks its a top 10 game of all timeliterally no one says this + you didn't play it
>>730784441The same could be said of tranny simulators like E33 and Baldur's Gate 3. their steam pages say that they're overwhelmingly positive in reviews. Do you really wanna rely on retarded normgroid appeal? Or do you prefer the retards who run metacritic? which flavor of shit do you prefer?
>>730784380King K. Rool was 47, he was just a kid
>>730784527I don't waste my time with garbage.

>>730784350>metacritic>objectiveYou are so full of shit I dint know why I even bothered responding
>>730784636>You didn't play it.You didn't play it
You niggers really need to reconvene in your little discord and come up with better baits. This entire thread is embarrassing.
>>730780580Nintendo is pivoting away from video games as a business and purely into managing their IPs. Think about it, why should they spend effort and money making games on their underpowered restrictive hardware when just licensing Mario and Zelda brings in so much more cash?Those IPs are also mature enough that you don't even need to make new games to keep them relevant, just like Mikey Mouse doesn't need a new movie or show to remain the most popular fictional character in the world.So it's only natural that they don't really care about the new games that they put out being subpar and getting low scores, their captive audience will still buy them and people won't stop buying merch or going to theme parks because of them.
>>730780580We've been over this in the last thread, Snoy.Stocks of every electronics company that doesn't make parts are down because shareholders fear the RAMageddon.
>>730784976Good, let them go back to selling cards while the world dies.
>>730785063It all returns to nothing
>>730785030Nintendo will leverage AI to turn into a gatekeeper for licensing their own IPs to AI services, so people will make their own Mario and Zelda games while they get paid for usage by generative service providers.
You're all believing shit that has no evidence at all.
>>730780908But enough about Astrobot
>>730780580>Nintendo and Retro entrusted the game's writing to a millennial trans activist,no wonder MP4 bombed
>>730783513Based
>>730785428>Astrobot is still living rent free in tendies headsSo much for it being forgotten when you can't stop seething about it for one second
>>730784109It's just a word. Just like your faggot name, triptranny. Relax.
>>730785484I don’t even have a Switch 2, snoy. And it deserves endless ridicule that the mediocre piece of trash ran the press circuit as some kind of revelation for a year.
>>730785385The writing is on the wall for those who can see it (people with a functioning brain).
>>730780758>bananza still living rent free in anti-tendies headI see you hate good video games.
>>730785610Meant for >>730784380
>>730785385>the sky is blue>uhmmmm proofs???
i think we're nearing the end of the console race and AI is to blame along with the increase of RAM prices.
>>730780580That's not what quality control means.
>>730780580TLDR: The west got butthurt at the nonstop Sw1 assfucking and now Nintendo gets docked on every score and becomes the entire focus of media hate campaign.Sorry 'bout the layoffs.
>>730785030You werent supposed to point that out....
>Was mad that nintendo abandoned classic zelda after botw>Play Crosscode>Realize Nintendo would never be able to actually realize the full potential of a zelda game cause they have to cater to retards and childrenThank god for indie games
>>730784441I don’t take opinions of 4 yo seriously
>>730786097>fellow crosscode appreciatorMy absolute nigga.
>>730780821Isn't metacritic a pile of shit anyway when you can give everything 10's or 0's without even playing/owning anything anyway?People only like to mention it if it helps with shitposting anyway.
>>730785931So then why was bananza rated highly?
>>730786275I only picked it up cause I tried out the Alabaster Dawn demo and realized I already had Crosscode in my library so might as well try it outHow come people never talk about it? Man I fucking missed out
>sell hardware division, consoles are a money pit and they are out of ideas since the Switch 2 is just a bad Steam Deck >reduce relevance of video game development and focus on managing their IPs and collaborate with other media properties to increase their presence in the customer's mindspace >aggressive licensing strategy focusing on experiences like theme parks, cruises and specialty shops >join with X-Ai to provide customers with the opportunity to use their IPs in generative content while making sure it abides to their coroporate vision and brand values But of course the japs are retarded and will just double down on making more flops like Bananza and MP4
>>730785385Anon, you are in a shitposting thread, almost everyone here is being retarded on purpose.
No, Steam's rating is even worse because buyers justify spending money and Steam's rating is always inflated.
>>730786792We had quite a few threads about it years ago. It was the golden child of those ">play indie game >it's good" threads that got spammed a few years back.Definitely deserves to be mentioned in more Zelda threads, though. What a gem.
>>730786792>How come people never talk about it? They did. Almost every thread died since they were not to talk about the game itself but to push shitty opinions about indie games, with a rare few actually making it to 500, talking about the game.
>>730785030Nintendos stock is even worse off for the month
>>730786764It wasn't, it was rated a 91
>>730787078So a 91 is a victim of a hate campaign to you? Thats still a very good score. So whats your excuse for MK World being lower and all the rest being lower as well?
>>730787078>a 91 score is now considered a concentrated effort to destroy a game
>>730780580>umm umm umm these two games? yeah they failed because umm umm umm trannies>oh the other games failed because umm umm umm well they just failed OK!!! don't break the precedent I was trying to establish because I'm an umm umm umm culture warrior and not a customer nor a fan
>>730787164>So a 91 is a victim of a hate campaign to you?It was docked from a 95 or higher. Mario Odyssey tier platformer
>>730787502>Was TOTK's score a hate campaign to you too? since fans declare it to be an objective improvement to BOTW, and yet it ultimately got a lower metacritic? Was Prime 4's score a hate campaign, despite Prime remastered getting far better reviews?
I didn't get Echoes of Wisdom because a Zelda game where you play as Zelda and summon shit instead of playing as Link is not a real Zelda game. And I hate that doll art style it reuses from Link's Awakening.
>>730780580source? oh right youre just a dumb faggot
>>730787502Bananza is good but lets be real here is it really odyssey level?
>>730787078>91 is no longer a good score
Does the current CEO just wants to appease shareholders and investors?
I like the switch 2 but so far I've basically exclusively used it to play switch 1 games with better performance/more comfortably. Cyberpunk is impressive but I could play it on pc. MKW was fine but 8 is infintely better so its pointless. I tried a few hours of Donkey Kong and was really unimpressed. I'm sure itll get a killer that this year or next but for now the best games on it are "4k60 botw and "pokemon scarlet but playable"
>>73078824091 is literally average
>>730788435Thats more or less what Bananza is. You wouldve known if it was Odyssey tier
>>730788435Are you saying the masses can't be trusted?Then >>730785931 makes no sense.
>>730788276>does the CEO just want to do his job?Nigger
>>730788641Who cares what I'm saying to be honest. Stop replying to me.
>>730789357>Stop replying to me.no
>>730789357>stop asking for truth and facts! i'm a real woman btw!
LMFAO!!!!!! Tendies straight criiiiine up in here mayne :skull: :skull: :wilted_rose:
>>730780580I don't care about childish things such as the future of videogames. When the fuck do I get paid my dividends?
>Metacritic
>>730790154>nuNtendo games are officially worse than ME3oof
>>730780580this shit was absolutely predictable, the shitch 2 jumped the sharkswitch worked both because it was an innovation in mainstream consoles and started it's first year with killer apps one after another, coof also massively boosted it's success alongside animal crossing, a perfect storm that made up for the glaring shortcomings of the consoleswitch 2 got nothing of that. nothing in that console is a major improvement, nohing released is an absolute must play, no one is demanding for another console like the switch when we already have that.the games ar nothing to write home about, only bananza is arguably worth playing and mario kart wasn't even well received by normies. add to this the absolute jewery that surrounds this console; the high prices of the console and games (bound to rise btw), the wagglan-tier trackpad gimmick, the paid upgrades on a fucking retro-comp console, the 3rd party ports still looking ass, and much morethis console may not be a failure but there's no way in hell people are gonna buy this shit in droves again
>>730780758You're just desperate for games and have shit enough taste to not actually do anything about it.
>>730790154Are we pretending this was an objectively bad game now and not a good game with a disappointing ending?
>>730788276Hard to appears investors when you're not appeasing customers--you know, the people who give the company money that the investors benefit from.
Nice incel rethoric on the Echoes comment.First, it's a spinoff.Second, the only Zelda games in the past decade other than remakes were BOTW and TOTK.
>>730790787appease*
>>730790561>>730790654>>730790664>>730789685Nice sametrannying, Eric
>>730790734Are YOU pretending that Mass Effect 3 was a 93/100 game?
>>73078824091 is good.91 for the Odyssey team is more...concerning. If one of your best teams in the company is getting scores that junior teams would have gotten ten years ago, then you should be at least a little worried.
>>730790931Nice sametrannying, Eric
>he's still making these threads
>>730791059He's been at it almost 24 hours for this meltdown
>>730791092It feels like every day is like this.
