>Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild was almost 10 years agoHas Nintendo just given up on making actual new games?
They realized there's a new crop of kids every couple of years so they can just resell the same decade old games to a new generation at full price
>>736911218It's really annoying because their promise with the Switch was that they would be able to put out more games since they wouldn't have to split their attention between a dedicated handheld and console anymore. What a complete lie that was they put out more new games on the 3DS alone than they have with Switch 1 and 2.
Nintendo makes more than just Mario and Zelda games.
Anon the Super Mario Galaxy Movie which took maybe 1/10th the effort a mainline Mario game does got Nintendo 3 times the amount of money and they barely even have to share the profits with Illumination. If they could make a game every other decade at this point they would.
>>736911376Functionally and financially they really don't. This is like saying Sega makes more than Sonic, Persona, and Yakuza. Everything else is so small it's just background noise.
>they don't countokay faggot
>>736911218They got complacent. Nobody noticed and ever points this out but in the middle of the Switch 1s life they consolidated/shut down all of their internal dev studios and have essentially just monolith soft doing everything now. It's a big team but one team basically equals they can only work on one big game and maybe a smaller one on the side. This is also why theres been a bigger reliance on their second parties.
>>736911683Yeah this is a big part
8 years of Zelda then>OoT, MM, Oracle games, Wind Waker, Minish Cap and Twilight Princess8 years of Zelda now>TOTK, Echoes of Wisdom
>>736911991You are just another sony fanboy pretending we have it bad
>>736911218Didn't DK Bananza just drop? That felt newer than Odyssey. In terms of ideas and gameplay.
>>736911296>there's a new crop of kidsthe "people" buying Nintendo are middle-aged millennial manchildren, not actual children
>>736911218It's classic project creep that increases the monetary budget and time budget.
T-they'll come out with a legacy 3d zelda with actual dungeons soon, right? Only been waiting since Skyward sword, wasn't that long ago..Just want to play my favorite series that makes my heart sing. W-why you looking so old Miyamoto?
>>736911683Man, you are full of shit.
>>736913271That's Eric for you.
>>736911218Nintendo doesn't want to be a regular vidya company anymore because they realized fleecing their hardcore cultist whales and long-time consumers is more comfortable and less risky. Their senile management doesn't care what exactly gets made as long as money keeps coming in. Which it does thanks to the Disney-like cult status Mario, Zelda and Pokemon in particular have achieved. They're a mass media and entertainment corporation now. In the next decade they will move further and further away from the traditional video game landscape and focus more and more on cheap merch, figurines, plushies, movies, theme parks, overpriced food items and dishes, clothes and so on. Nintendo is a lifestyle to their dedicated paypigs so why not tap into that "lifestyle" aspect more and more rather than spend years developing another big video game? They'll still do it here and there just to keep up the facade and keep the consumer base somewhat happy. Same way Valve pretends they're still a legit video game developer and not a storefront manager with an in-house casino.
>>736915038I really hate how the natural endgame of any massive company is just to become a shitty BRAND factory, I miss when Apple made actual good computers
>bumping your loser ass thread
>>736911991I always find it funny how little of an impact Cadence of Hyrule made.
>>736917289Does Eric's dad work at nintendo?
>>736914501>>736917229>>736917289>>736917431Eric won though
>>736911218>I raugh I roose?
>>736911218>Has Nintendo just given up on making actual new gamesWho cares? Why not just go play the over 40 years of games you have? You can't be starving that bad for video games.
>>736913176the next 3d mario is liable to literally be a 3d mario maker. wouldnt that be quite the monkeys paw
>>736911218They're waiting until Yoshi passes so they can start revealing games people actually want because they need to cockslap them with the reality they WILL be $80 physical; them dramatically shortening their reveal-to-release timespans has also been partially in preparation for this since they know letting a game's existence stew in the community with an $80 pricetag for longer will create more hesitation.It's unbelievable how many stupid people think Nintendo's recent announcement signaled a price DROP on digital and not a price HIKE on physical.
They were banking on dk bananza as the next big game, that's why it was made by the odyssey team, but it's hilarious because nobody sees it as that,so now they don't have a plan lol.
>>736919171The gimmick of being able to destroy anything is like a cool tech thing but it just doesn't make for that interesting of a game, I felt the same way about Red Faction Guerilla back in the day, it's like "neat" but then you're just left with a pretty aimless game
Your parents will be happy when you kill yourself.
>>736917180>I miss when Apple made actual good computersApple's computers are arguably the best they've been in 20 years but they mainly focus on laptops these days. Ever since the switch to M chips Macbooks have become the king of the laptop space in terms of battery efficiency and mobile performance. The only thing that isn't great is that performance doesn't scale up so great to the desktop models, but even then graphic designers and video editors will still buy Mac Studios because the software support is the same as on the MBP.
>>736919523my mom didn't call me for six months after I stopped calling her, I called her a month ago and broke that streak, all she had to say when I asked was that she was just tired, so you might be right. My dad gets worried when I don't show for a while though and always wants to do stuff so I will live for him when I think of ending it.
>hourly snoy cope thread
>>736911364Turns out it wasn't split attention keeping them from making games, turns out it was having a lower power handheld to dramatically speed up development that was letting them put out lots of games. Turns out high power fucking sucks for developer workload and customer wait times. Luckily we're in a video games crash for western AAA right now, so maybe we'll see "who needs power?" sentiment crop up soon.
I can see Harman is having a temper tantrum again
>>736911218They stopped caring ever since they got their shit pushed in by Sony. They thought they were hot shit and unbeatable and some company absolutely crushed them in their first attempt. After the humiliating defeat in the 90s they just kinda went autopilot and rehashed their old shit/Appealed to non gamers.
Why bother? There's a new sucker born every minute, in a nation with a declining birth rate. They seriously believe that Odyssey and BOTW are the quintessential games of their franchises, just like with F-Zero GX. It's why we see more remakes than new games from them.>>736911296flippy bippy
Video games in general have been taking a lot longer to develop in recently years. It's sad, we used to have sequels every year.
The success of Mario Kart 8 changed how Nintendo approached games. Instead on releasing new games as soon as possible they realized they can make way more money if they can just sell the same game for way longer. Same thing happened with Skyrim and GTAV
>>736918864>It's unbelievable how many stupid people think Nintendo's recent announcement signaled a price DROP on digital and not a price HIKE on physical.Not a single tendie actually believe what they were saying a few weeks ago. They knew it meant their friends just increased the price of physical games for no reason other than being greedy jews.
>>736925702
>>736925767>talking about nintendos greed is a snoy copeWhat makes you think that?
>>736915038The fact that they're making actual baby/toddler products like Disney does with Winnie the Pooh honestly proves this.
>>736911218Nintendo is a movie company now
>>736919171I think that their recent strategy of giving some games (like Bananza) short pipelines between revealing them and releasing them is biting them in the ass, because a lot of those games have had strong opening sales but atrocious legs. The fact that they had to promote Bananza again in the September Direct (two months after launch) and give it a post-launch demo is damning.
>>736928008Nobody wants to buy your fucking book harman
>>736911218What's the context of this image?
>>736926532Prepare to see more literal toddler shit and useless Mario flavored household items (which are 5 times the price of already expensive junk) with the direction this company has decided to take. The profit margin on these shitty items is just too great because they'll sell on brand recognition and scalping alone. Surprised Nintendo isn't trying to sell more Mario flavored candy as well. Imagine the prices you could sell for some stale Mario potato chips with cheap seasoning. A bag could probably be sold for like several bucks while the production costs are like 20 cents. Include some Mario stickers and some gay Amiiboo contest and you're good to go.
>>736911432>the Super Mario Galaxy Movie which took maybe 1/10th the effort a mainline Mario gameHow can this be possible? The movie 3d assets are a fuckton more detailed than any mario game can get.
>>736928818>mario themed chips, candy etc.Would try it once if the prices were low, but given that bags of chips are currently sitting at like $2.69 (small bags at the checkout lanes) I know Nintendo gonna hike it up.
>>736929068He means it takes Nintendo far less effort. Plus the movies themselves do come out faster than mainline games.
>>736929264>they partnered with fucking Feastables for the SMG movieIf that doesn't tell you everything about current Nintendo (at least how they regard Mario), I don't know what will.
>>736929264Genuine Mario chips would cost $4 a for a relatively small bag and you know it. Even if they go on sale they would still cost most more than 2 bucks. And they wouldn't even be good. They would have the most generic taste possible to please as many children and tasteless manchildren in as many markets as possible. If you wanted to go super kikemode you could make it so that certain food advertises other food to "combine" them for the Super Mario meal.
>>736929438I don't think they start development of the next mainline game as soom as the current one releases.
>>736929550Remember when people lost their goddamn minds over fucking Mario CEREAL in like late 2017-early 2018, which was just basically a clone of Lucky Charms? at least do something kinda creative like a revival of the Nintendo Cereal System you fucks
>>736930571>my tax dollars go to keeping fat miserable unemployed fanboy fucks like this asshole alive
>>736930329Cereal, ice cream, chips, cookies. Name whatever generic junk food you can find in any Walmart and I would be surprised if Nintendo isn't going to release some Mario flavored variety in the next 10-15 years. They could probably even bring back a lot of discontinued Pokemon shit for extra millenial nostalgia factor. They probably barely even have to produce anything themselves. They can just ask other brands to do it for them because any brand will be eager to cooperate with the money printing machine that are recognizable Nintendo brands.
>>736911218ah yes, 2 games came out a decade ago, that means there's no games
>>736930748>30 years from now a major factor in health problems will be overconsumption of nintendo junk foodWhat a wild world we live in.
>>736931117
>>736911364Nintendo published games on Gamecube: ~55Wii (No Wiiware): ~73Wii U: 45Switch (pre-Switch 2): ~100 I'd take an extra 25 Switch games over a thousand 3DS titles. 3DS was fucking ass. The best 3DS entry in any franchise was an 8/10 at best, and that's with me being a Nintendo simp.
>>736931812How many of those Switch games are ports or remakes, champ
>>736911218Get used to it. Time will keep getting faster and faster.
>>736917180Apple is at the top of their game, their computers are industry standard for everyone but manchildren who play vidya
>>736932012>Nintendo fanboys are also Apple fanboys who don't play vidyaYep, that checks out.
>>736911364>their promiseDid they ever actually promise this? Find me a single quote.
>>736932421https://nintendosoup.com/how-merging-nintendos-development-teams-helped-the-switch/>We think very carefully about how we can assign people to projects in development. What number we can assign, what we can have them working on. And that’s something that we always think about very closely in regards to how we ensure we have a steady release of high-quality titles.Specifically mentioning how the merge was supposed to help with steady output.
I think Nintendo are at a point where a lot of their classic IP's have just hit a design dead end. ToTK and Mario Kart World are good examples of this, their hooks don't feel very good or inspired. Like how interesting and different can a Mario Kart sequel realistically be? Mario Kart 8 is in many ways like the ultimate Mario Kart, Smash Ultimate is the ultimate Smash etc. How do you even make a sequel to Mario Odyssey that feels interesting and new? There's only so many ways you can make Mario jump around in a 3D spaceI think this is why they want to try pushing more forgotten IP's like Donkey Kong and Star Fox, these IP's have more growth potential. Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash etc are all pretty mature at this point

>>736935425I swear every thread on /v/ nowadays is some mouthbreather spamming about supposed schizos while being a schizo himself.
>>736911218There have been two new Zeldas, one HD upscale, and one remake since BotW. There's a new Zelda basically every other year.
>>736932859Is it really so hard to make a Yoshi game LIKE the original, the crafted stuff was fun, but where's the fucking adventure with this new one? If it's there they're not doing a good job at showing it off, I don't want to be a researcher, I wanna go from point A to B shootin' eggs at shit.

>>736920532>Most popular games on the market right now>Roblox>MinecraftI think it must suck being a AAA company and seeing that shit, it's kind of like seeing the asteroid incoming and knowing your slow dinosaur ass couldn't make itself small even if it could try and find a hidey hole. Like they're just not built for making the kind of games consumers are wanting.
>>736932859What a bunch of slop.
>>736917362>Cadence of HyruleThat game makes me feel like I'm 8 again in the sense that i just knew there were games I would never get to play because I couldn't afford them. Now I know I will never get to enjoy that because the gameplay fundamentally disagrees with how my brain enjoys videogames. It's like I think it's cool, but playing it is hyper gay cancer aids. I'd rather play the fucking nuclear reactor management sims.
>>736939203Echoes of Wisdom was a brand new game in the seires.
>>736939321It makes even AAA companies pause, recall Insomniac outright begging to make smaller games with less budget because they could make many games for what Spider-Man 2 cost, and Sony just will not hear of anything but movie mega-games. Completely insane executives that don't know their ship is sinking and fire anybody that tries to tell them
>>736939957The AAA gaming ship is too massive at this point, they won't change direction because it will take years, that is assuming they even can change direction, it might be impossible. The future of video games is obviously that a few mega games will dominate the mainstream while the rest will be indies and AA games. Gamers are essentially becoming the new film and music nerds where only enthusiasts are consuming stuff outside the few massive games like Roblox, Fortnite, GTA etc
>>736941114I don't think mega-flagships have a future, shit's already crashing. I do think Sony will keep trying to force the issue because they're addicted to it, meanwhile Nintendo's smart enough to do some remakes to try and train new devs on older styles of games they haven't done in ages or otherwise have no interest in developing themselves (see SMRPG, TTYD, that rumored OoT remake, Samus Returns, Link's Awakening) which doubles the purpose of filling in release gaps between their own flagship games

You would sooner drink the ocean with a straw than convince a Nintendo fanboy to think negatively about Nintendo. They could actively go into the streets and club puppies and toddlers and fanboys would tell you how it's a good thing.

>>736911218It must suck being the Nintendo equivalent of a ball and gun gamer. Especially considering Odyssey 2 has been out for almost a year.
Switch 2's output has been really underwhelming so far. Its not bad, but definitely not anything more than okay either. The system desperately needs a big dick system seller like a BotW or a Bloodborne. Not every exclusive needs to be a masterpiece, but you really should have at least one amazing game. Bananza is the closest but it wasnt enough imo
>>736945460Nice sametrannying, Eric.
