How come Nintendo is the only major company that makes cartoon-inspired games these days? Sire, some games (i.e. fortnite) are stylized visually, but it feels like Nintendo are the only ones making games that actually feel like a cartoon from top to bottom.
>>731088343Well, they're not really all that popular.Especially as the gaming market moves towards PC since the aesthetic doesn't necessarily synergize well with every genre and PC players like specific kinds of games.You want to make a game that players of all ages would enjoy and many people find it impossible to enjoy something bouncy and vibrant (except Mario Kart for some reason)
>>731088551>and PC players like specific kinds of games.Cartoony indie games sell great on PC, though.
>>731088343Looks like Inazuma Eleven but for gay people.
>>731088343HiFi Rush was pretty cartoony, but unfortunately Microsoft killed the studio immediately after they made it because Microsoft is retarded
>>731088343Does anime not count as cartoony? Because a lot of Japanese studios still do that for their games.
>>731090492Sort of. The main difference between "anime" and "cartoon" stuff is that anime is typically fantastical in a "magic" sort of way. A cute girl swinging around a big sword in a fantasy universe. "Cartoon" is fantastical in a more comedic way, like a stylized cat slapping someone upside the head so hard their whole body briefly deforms for exaggerated effect.Obviously there's some overlap that makes it difficult to really cut a distinct line between what's cartoony and what's anime (especially when you start taking shit like Kingdom Hearts into the equation) though.
>>731088343haha
