How did Pokemon Pokopia and Tomodachi Life sell that much in such a short span of time? The “gameplay” looked boring as hell from what I saw and Pokopia is stuck as a key card, are people really still eating up key cards and games without gameplay?

How do you not get this by now?

YOU

ARE

OUTNUMBERED

>>738448913
It's a cute little game where you can have your friends or favorite characters interact, the kids love that shit
>>
>>738448913
we are in a weird part of the year so basically everyone who wants pokopia or tomodachi life bought it at release. this was like the who assassin's sneed thing where they said it was the second best launch week or something weird, because they launched it in febuary or march and all of the other assassin's sneed games came out in october or november and were bought closer to christmas
>>
>games without gameplay
tomodachi life has more gameplay than your average AAA trash
it's funny as fuck too and having zero censorship is also a nice change in the current climate
maybe you should play games instead of getting your opinion from youtube videos
>>
>>738448913
Pokopia is the game of the year
>>
>>738448913
Pokopia had good sales because S2 has no games and people are starved
Tomodachi life is a huge meme though and every woman on the planets wants it because it's SiMS for psychos

But I do play games, all the Pokemon games too; it’s just that Pokopia looked so boring and doesn’t have battles or exploration
>>
>>738449346
>make characters
>watch them fall in love in a triangle
>and uhhhh they say "Popp" because I input "Poop" in the "please isnert funny phrase here" prompt
Looking at an aquarium has more gameplay.

People like boring games.

You have to understand that you only have these questions because you are depressed and have no life

Pokemon is Pokemon. It will always sell gangbusters
Tomodachi Life was stupid popular on the 3ds, so of course it would sell well on the switch. Plus, finally being able to put ANYTHING you want as a name for something and drawing whatever has long been censored out for a decade since streaming became a thing. Do not underestimate how much people want to put 'inappropriate' things for names.

>>738449346
ive played for like 15 hours and its frankly shocking how little there is to do in this game. almost all my time has been spent making detailed miis.
i still like it but acting like there is anything to do in this game apart from making miis is ridiculous. you dont do fucking anything in the whole game.

>Tomodachi Life was stupid popular on the 3ds
Since when? I had a 3DS since like 2011 and I’d never even heard of it until they announced the switch game last year
>>
>>738451347
It was a shitty pack in game. I got it with my 2DS and never booted it once
>>
>>738448913
Solid gameplay
Appeals to both the core and casuals
What's not to get?
>>
>>738449836
>or exploration
It's a game about building and exploring, retard.
>>
>>738448913
It's like The Sims but Nintendo™
>>
>>738448913
>How
god. why do people as retarded as you get born?
>>
Genuinely why are the pokemon company still making games whem they should rerelease the roms every few years with mobileslops and make millions? I feel bad for Bananza and Air Riders holy shit
>>
>>738451385
Then how do you know it was shitty?
>>
>>738451980
>look up its ">gameplay"
>it's literally just a pretend simulator for autistic children
I literally see no reason for that franchise to even exist when Sims is a thing, unless they're targeting a toddler audience I guess
>>
Vidya is now a normalfag hobby and normalfags like games with no gameplay
>>
>>738453680
Then why aren’t visual novels taking off
>>
>>738449171
Children must be so innocent when playing the game. Meanwhile adults have Tony Soprano asking his husband Walter White how he feels about the Jewish Question.
>>
>>738453836
Oh, probably not, my friend told me about how he heard some kids who couldn't be older than 10 shouting "DIDDY BLUD DIDDY BLUD!" when he was at an arcade
>>
Nintydrones are the Disney Adults of gaming, more news at 11.
>>
>>738448913
Life sims are stupidly popular. Makes me wish I could enjoy them but I always lose interest after a couple of days.
>>
Why does it bother you?
>>
pokopia is the best pokemon game ive ever played lol main games are even more fucking boring with that ass battle system and gameplay and bland characters
>>
>>738454395
the pkmn spin offs are better than the main games in general. i wish for another pokken
>>
>>738448913
Nintendo has gotten really good at developing games for female audiences. While most other studios just add unappealing mystery meat characters to generic ass AAA games and call it a day, Nintendo actually took the time to learn out what the demographic actually wants.
>>
>>738453767
Too anime

>>738454648
But anime is popular

Their games just don't sell because their woke leftoid slop

These guys get it
>>
>>738448913
Nintendo cracked the code in how to appeal to casuals and women, you keep seeing the shittiest wokeslop from other AAA devs to reach “modern audiences” flopping when what those want it’s just their comfy cute game
>>
>>738448913
because it's a reskinned animal crossing for trannies and manchildren
they could do this every six months forever
>>
>>738457739
you don't play games, do you?
>>
>>738453767
None of them are dubbed
>>
>>738448913
It's not 2010 anymore. Most "gamer girls" actually play videogames now, and these are the games that they play.
>>
They are de tox games.
>>
>>738448913
You know when they say that women make up 50% of gamers and you get mad at the implication?

This is what they are buying.
>>
>>738448913
Don't make me tap the sign.
>>
>>738458913
Also women love to spend money on things they don't touch. I know very few guys who never play their games unless they got them for 1usd in a sale but most women buy shit and let it sit there
>>
>>738448913
Socialslop for women.
>>
Pokopia has more gameplay than any main game
>>
>>738449452
Can you breed eevees?
>>
>>738448913
They're fun and it's not like the competition is releasing anything.
>>
>>738449468
>it's SiMS for psychos
that's just the sims.
>>
Why is Pokemon the only RPG that can hit a similar level of sales as this
>>
>>738460519
Nostalgia
>>
>>738460519
It releases two versions at a time and is backed by a whole multimedia franchise that constantly has new stuff going on.
>>
>>738448913
You can make Trump and Biden marry each other in this game if you wanted
>>
>>738448913
I take solace in knowing that Pragmata sold 2 million in about 2 weeks to offset these numbers.
>>
>>738460519
Nostalgia and brand-loyalty, you had drones buying every single different language version just so they could pledge their allegiance
>>
>>738449082
This man gets it.
>>
>>738453767
VNs have been replaced by high budget gachas which are just VNs with more gameplay

>>
>>738464296
I wouldn’t say gachas have more gameplay than VN, not even when shit like Honkai has autoplay
>>
/v/'s out of touch
yeah I'm out of time
playing these based games while you're malding out
