When did you realize Nintendo stopped being good?
>>737889572I hate to say it because I know he wasn't directly responsible for jack shit, but Iwata's death seems in retrospect to have been a watershed moment for Nintendo. The overarching culture of the company now seems to be one of naked contempt toward anyone who still likes video games as video games and not just an avenue for marketing their IP.
When the Switch barely had any games.
When Nintendo decided they hate making video games and only shill movies and theme parks
>>737889572Tears of the Kingdom, followed by the Switch 2.
When they made link into a fag. That was the exact moment their their big system seller made me not even want to play this shit if I got the system for free.I thought they were making a comeback with the switch, but then they immediately just fucked that up with their garbage subscription
when did you realize eric is having another meltie?

>OP is having another meltdownWhat did Sony do this time?
chungus kong bananza
When Nintendo sold Rare because Miyamoto couldn't handle the Stamper Brothers' smoke after OoT got BTFOed by Banjo-Kazooie.
>>737889609Correct, they'd need to have been good at some point for that to be able to happen in the first place>>737890252>>737890456>>737890468Totally not discordtranny tourists btw
>>737889572The emasculation of Donkey Kong to appeal to zoomer trannies that don't event buy games was the last straw.

>>737889572When I saw their 2026 lineup. It’s literally all cozy slop aside from Mario Tennis Fever. This is genuinely one of the worst years for Nintendo.
GameCube was when they disappointed me.
>>737889572You can see the family resemblance
Late 2022/early 2023 around totk forbme, it's when they got confident again and slowly started doig shit and slowly started killing wii u online, removed vouchers, removed gold points.... they got cocky again for good reasons. They're fixing stuff up right now so it's not that bad, hope we get to the point voucher comes back. I think 2024/25 is when they released far more mediocre games too. Outside of Bananza being incredibly good I don't remember anything else that was greatnin the last two or even three years. The console itself is still really good tho
>>737889572game key cards
>>737892648Two important factors should be noted here to emphasize why the 2026 lineup sucks:>these are games we're getting first for the system>they haven't revealed new first-party games in 7 months (probably 8 unless they buck trends and reveal new stuff in May), for a system that's 10 months old

>>7378895723ds era
>>737889572I still think they're good.What I have realized is that at some point their announcement schedule (or lack of one) has become extremely frustrating.
>>737889572I still like Nintendo though...
Notice there are never threads like this about Sony, because in the back of everyone's minds, we've already accepted they only make soulless multiplat/GaaS slop catering to the lowest common denominator.
>>737898781Notice how we started seeing more nintendo hate threads after the 30 day limit fuckery that sony pulled
>>737898964That's literally not true, there was no difference in the amount of threads being made.
>>737892860Why? N64 was awful. Awful control, just a few good games, meanwhile ps1 had lots. All because ninty felt that cd roms were shit.
Pretty much as soon as they got lazy immediately following their surprise success with the Wii. Namely with the half-baked slopfest that was Brawl.
>>737889572When zelda got raped by ganon and peach got raped by bowser
>>737900383They were still killing it with their handhelds though. And then they killed them for the Shitch.
>>737889572Zelda is pogging :O
>>737899108The reason for that was because proprietary cartridges were harder to pirate.
>>737890824Fourteenth Post Best Post
>>737889572Tears of the kingdom and xenoblade 3 for me. I still really like nintendo, but their current western push is really gay
>>737900656And it still got piratedAnd flashcarts got madeNintendo always loses. Even the cube was hacked. Their fucking fear costed them more than the few pirates they avoided, according to themselves. Meanwhile, ps1 sold millions in games and consoles. Yeah, piracy affected them so much. Sure.

>>737892648I hate the way they handle their NSO and Nintendo Music Apps. The drip feeding sucks. Also them randomly shadow dropping stuff on their Today App.April is almost over so we should be getting NSO hidden gems or slop for May.

When (you) started liking nintendo. Everything was fine until (you) showed up

>>737889572Taking off the blinders the Gamecube era. The mini discs was textbook cutting off ones noes to spite their face.
>>737901580then report him for ban evasion, so he gets range banned? every schizo eventually gets kicked out of here.

>>737901973>kingdom hearts is cloud onlyI still hate square enix for pulling this shit.
Imagine spending years on a Mongolian imageboard spamming the same words over and over and ban evading just so you can poopdeckschizo post morePut a gun at your head and pull the trigger already.
>>737898781Wasn’t the entire board dunking on snoys just yesterday over that Xbox always online thing?
>>737902008Fix your head champ
>>737902086You know those jews are going to do real ports for the S2 and expect people to double-dip, too. The moral thing to do (which absolutely won't happen) would be to let people who bought the S1 cloud editions just download the legit S2 ports.
>He does it manually Imagine spamming the board for this long and not even being smart enough to set up an auto script Fucking hell. You don't even have an excuse faggot. AI could do it for you even
>>737902194yes but that doesn't count because I Said So™
>>737901973>Kingdom Hearts is cloudKingdom Hearts is LIGHT
>>737889609Fpbp. Kys faggot
>>737902291It doesn't really matter because not a lot of people bought these cloud games. No one complained when Capcom released native ports of RE7 and RE8 for the S2 with no upgrade or discount for cloud buyers
>>737889572literally everything about the Switch2 and Miyamoto being fraudulent is when I stopped coping. But objectively Iwata dying and Reggie stepping down (don't care I still like Reggie).
>>737902642>PS4 games getting cloud ports on Switch 1vs>mostly PS2/3 level games getting cloud ports
>>737889609FPBPThey have been around for 100 years, they make fun games the whole family can enjoy.
When nintendo started to go shitty movies.
>>737889572I didn't realize it was ever good in the first place
>>737892949The most expression TP Zelda has ever shown
>>737889572Iwata died, then Reggie realized what was coming and jumped off the ship before he was dragged into the soulless Japanese Disney that Nintendo is now becoming.
>>737890141This with the homosexual Aonuma and his shitty Zelda fanfiction, first Nintendo series to go to shit.>>737889572As for Nintendo overall, Iwata's death, them fumbling and eventually putting some random faceless suit as their new leader. Completely different company now.The Wii U was good, the gamepad was good, but should've been an accessory not the main controller. The games were almost all great, and the devs actually cared back then. Last time anyone at Nintendo showed any real passion for their games was with like ARMS, which released during the Switch's first year.>but SakuraiHe's not with Nintendo. Also debatable, I personally don't care.>>737902716Miyamoto becoming a stale old fag the past decade, Aonuma huffing his own farts even harder and more obvious, and Reggie leaving were the last nails, along with every game taking several years to develop.inb4>Iwata and Reggie were bad and retarded too!!No one's perfect. Retard decisions or not, they were still better than what we have today and they were human, not corpo automatons.>>737898781Sony stopped being good long before Nintendo. PS2 and PSP were their last good consoles, or last good devices at all.
There isn't a single big name game company that is still good.
>>737889572I already felt pretty robbed with the wii u. Despite that, I lukewarmly expected to mindlessly keep consuming the next console like a good goy.Then they kept Shadow out of smash, a simple fucking echo fighter for Sonic, while wasting dev resources on more shit like fire emblem and at that point I decided I would rather keep my dignity and never got a switch.Felt great about it too, since all the soi memes came right after and I felt I really was breaking out of being a slave. And this feeling only kept going as I saw pokemon crash and burn (sun and moon also were a breaking point for me, I completed the pokedex in alpha sapphire and that was my goodbye to the franchise since I was a kid playing blue on my gameboy), the insane legal copyright bullying nintendo have done and keep doing, all kinds of scummy practices that have been implemented since Iwata passed away (I actually speculate he might have been assassinated)...Now I just stick to old emulated games if I ever feel like playing any. I also pirate everything now. The whole market it dead, nothing for me to care anymore, and I just needed a bit of self respect to realize that.
>>737903885Bemani
>>737903993Konami sucks and they are so gay for not releasing any more Bemani for consoles after the PS2 and for locking modern Bemani behind some gay PC subscription service.
>>737889572Zelda is so cute and hot in that image
>>737904698Smash Ult Zelda is the best Zelda.
>>737903963Assist Trophies are a silly concept since Ultimate itself has gotten rid of collectible trophies.
>>737889572They're still good, but they've always had just a small handful of good games each generation
>>737889572When the online mode was no longer free.
>>737901389>I hate the way they handle their NSO and Nintendo Music Apps. The drip feeding sucks.Yeah. I’ve been checking Nintendo’s Twitter around 9:01 PM on weekdays for two weeks straight now. I assumed we’d get another NSO drop to end April. Since all we got in April so far were shitty NES games at the very start of the month.
>>737889572Mario Wonder being so hyped by tendies yet it was clearly inferior to the New Super Mario Bros games.

>>737900945Yeah fucking years after the system wss discontinued. At best during its lifetime you had expensive fucker disc drives designed to pirate software that were extremely rare to begin with.
Getting rid of Club Nintendo and replacing it with the vastly VASTLY inferior My Nintendo rewards program.
Unironically when Brawl and Mario Kart Wii came out. The over casualization/simplification of their biggest series was a terrible fucking sign of things to come.
>>737894494
When Nintendo saw no issue whatsoever with Game Freak lying about redoing old Pokémon models and animations to justify the Dex Cut in SwSh. Nintendo publishes the games, co-owns the franchise, and makes them tentpole releases for their systems, so yes I do think they should get some flak for this too. In retrospect, learning that Furukawa was a former Pokémon suit makes a ton of sense.
>>737903042/thread
>>737889572Back when the Wii came out.
>>737889572the combo of no metroid prime 2 remaster following prime, and tears of the kingdom being so utterly pointless
The second the switch started charging for online I stopped using it. Nintendo games are not good enough to stay 55+ dollars for their entire lifespan. Why is Yoshi's Crafted World still over 50 dollars when that shit is older than covid? Who the fuck bought that shit for 60 bucks? I will never own a switch 2 because the games will never be at a reasonable price.Yokoi made Nintendo what it is, and his influence is completely gone now
>>737901658Not the one who spends every famitsu thread screaming bloody murder about nintendo. People have been warned or banned for reporting his posts, though.
>>737918786The bigger problem was the vast difference in fanbase response between the first time paid online was pitched, and the second. The first time in 2017, people told them to go to hell so unanimously that they had to put the plan on ice. But when it was reintroduced in 2018, the critical fans were overwhelmingly outnumbered by shitbag newcomers and fairweather Nintendo fans who shamed criticism and told Nintendo "yes we will pay".This is why BotW was a disaster. It was designed to court people who played western open world shit on Xbox 360/One and PS3/4 for the past decade, and doing so brought them and their horrible habits/tolerances into the Nintendo ecosystem.
>>737919375...this might be the first actually good argument against botw fuck
>>737918928Ever tried going to IRC and ask why people get banned for reporting the spammer?
>>737919749It's also a fantastic argument against LotR you blithering dolt.
>>737889572When they changed the name from Revolution to Wii. What were they THINKING?
>>737921394no it isn't
>>737921713Of course it is. You're basically laying out that any negative result that came about from the accumulation of a fanbase, especially on any market forces, is an argument against that thing, even if the thing was good (which you can surmise that you think BotW is considering you think this is the "first" good argument against it). Using this logic, I can say Lord of the Rings is bad because fans that gathered to LotR made a gross change in perception to how lore should be handled in any fantasy or world-building mythos AND was the cause of all of fantasy being codified into "generic Elfs, Dwarves, and Orcs" creations instead of the smodge podge of gathered folklore it was before.
>>737922192blah blah blah you're just upset because you're in the hot seat for enabling paid online on Nintendo

>>737889572Late 2023 when they stop being a japanese company
>>737917968I’ve always felt Gamefreak should’ve gradually made the mainline Pokémon development cycles longer starting with maybe Gen 6? Since that’s when the franchise went 3D. They were shamelessly pumping out new games like nothing and it really showed back then how rushed they were.
>>737889572When Yamauchi stepped down.
>>737889572It's hilarious how badly you faggots are trying to replicate the exodus that happened with Nintendo fans during the wii. The circumstances are completely different this time around and your concern trolling isn't fooling anyone.

Damn, the news about Snoy forcing people to always have online for all digital games really hit them hard. It looks like they hired a few extra pajeet firms to shitpost threads on vee 24/7. I hope you guys are able to afford a cup of soup after these posts.

>>737889572You all nibbas are posting on a Sonygg*r thread.
>>737901591I'd go farther than that and say the N64 era was a massive red flag too. They kept on making cartridges even when they were known to be worse than CDs just to spite anyone who bought or developed their games.
