>From chasing a "mature" Zelda with realistic graphics to remaking Star Fox 64 again, is Nintendo losing its soul?>From the quirky, genre-defining innovation of the GameCube and the Wii to the modern era of the Nintendo Switch 2, we're asking whether the legendary company that consistently bucks modernity is finally chasing stale industry standards.
>>744740174>people pretend to like the gamecube and Wii now
Watch tendies start coping that IGN are "snoys"
this is literally the 3DS release all over againthough yeah the 3DS was a thousand times more innovation than the switch 2 but also largely a DS2
>>744740174>genre-defining innovation of the GameCube
>>744740397
>>744740174>fucking IGNHeartbreaking: you know the rest.
is starfox's artstyle "generic"? given that everyone had a melty over how they made fox a wiiideboy and katt and whatever elsebut also nintendo has always been "iterative" especially in games so this guy is a fucking moron
>>744740434The 3DS was awesome. Its 3D effect was really cool and there was a good number of great games like we don't get them anymore.
IGN has no right calling any other company "soulless".
No
>ignores all of the other releasesprobably because you're not used to a company releasing more than one game a year
>>744740753i guess thinking about it they look sort of like the puppets from that one direct>>744740775nobody used the 3d effect after the first week pal
You can't spell ignoring without ign
>>744740174They've always cared more about money than anything else. I'd argue they never had a soul, and you shouldn't be looking for one in any corporation. You'll be disappointed
>>744740174>Switch 2 is just a stronger Switch, just like Playstation>titles and marketing focused on wowing normalfags with shiny AAA graphics, like Playstation>movies over games strategy, like Playstation>rampant censorship of anything Japanese, like PlaystationNintendo has become Snoy 2.0. under Furukawa and it's depressing to see.
>>744740174I do think its been a pretty obvious shift from the pro consumer and creativity focused Iwata era, to this new more conservative and profit driven era.$80 games. Many remakes. Switch is one of their least experimental and original pieces of hardware ever made. Virtually the same as the last one, which clearly has an audience but is a shift from the "do something new" mantra. BC games locked to a subscription, which would be inexcusable for anyone else and a huge scandal that's even more anti-consumer than Sony stopping disc production. Lackluster launch lineup (imho); Mario Kart somehow disappointed, Kirby Air Riders was overpriced, Starfox is still about $20 more than it really needed to be (imho). And they ruined Donkey Kong Its kind of shocking its taken this long to see the question asked.
These same people would cry bloody murder if Nintendo made another Zelda with the Wind Waker art style, just like they did the first time.
>mainstream media is now doing the Soul/Soulless thingCrazy how our language is being monetized.
>>744741029lmao
>>744740174>Is Nintendo losing it's soul?No.
>>744740174Rhythm Heaven, Pokopia, and Donkey Kong Bananza were not mentioned because it breaks the dumb narrative by IGN
>>744740174>Soulthey never had any soul. but i cant take anyone who says that seriously when they're talking about games.
Oh boy, are we pretending people didn't bitch about Celda back in the early 200s again?
I love the Gamecube alot. But im not sure what this sentence means? What "genre" did "gaming box" define?It still had a regular ass controller even (albeit with a shitty right stick).
>>744741029I also forgot>incredibly obvious and obnoxious DEI policies for their games, like Playstation (just look at the niggerlicious shitskin fest that is the latest Fire Emblem game Fortune's Weave. Or if that's not enough for you, raceswapping characters in remasters/remakes like Trace Memory/Another Code and trooning out Vivian in the Paper Mario TTYD remaster).Since 2020 i have seen so many of what were once my favorite publishers and franchises go to shit or sell out to (((them))) that oftentimes I wonder why I even bother with this hobby any more.
>>744740397hmmm
>>744740174Too many westerners playing Japanese games and rejecting western slop
>>744741038I don't want to defend Nintendo's game pricing at least not too much but this is literally something Iwata wanted, you can find old articles going back to 2006 where he says retailers drop the prices of games too quickly and how games should stick to their MSRP. Nintendo has never really liked giving deals on their games, they only do it when they have to in order to stay competitive.
>>744740174A broken clock is right twice a day and this is one of those cases.Late millenials and zoomers grew up playing kino line timesplatters, trauma center, punch out, rhythm heaven, warioware. The switch only has splatoon
>>744741627TENDIETODDLERS
I knew this indian shithole would instantly repost this jewrnalist clickbait slop lmaothe alliance between journos and nintendo hating spergs truly says everything
https://x.com/IGN/status/2085025820410585454 Honestly thought you made this shit up. They’re one more tweet away from being blacklisted
>>744740174Rent’s due, I guess
>>744741634This Also Nintendo is letting players download thier games and keep them offline unlike Sony and microslop This means the gov can't turn it off whenever they want
>>744740174why is op such a drooling retard? the question the video poses is whether Nintendo is losing its soul, not outright stating that it's soulless.also, the comments under the video prove that media literacy is at an all time low with people saying "why would you pick nintendo for this topic instead of sony or xbox!?"do these people really not understand that the implication is that Nintendo is the only company left on the market with a soul to begin with? Nintendo is the only company worth making this discussion about because everyone else has already shat the bed long ago.Anyway, I would argue that yes, Nintendo appears to be losing its soul. not just because they seem to be chasing somewhat generic photorealism with their latest two remakes but also because both Bananza and Splatoon Raiders focus on very modern instant cheap dopamine hit design trends such as constant streams of bling blings being vacuumed up by your character, skill trees and tacked on rpg and progression mechanics
>>744741721TRVKE
>>744740174IGN still seething cause Nintendo won't give them the time of day.
>>744742061>they seem to be chasing somewhat generic photorealismimagine unironically thinking thatall this talk about souls and none of you absolute niggers are ensouled, you're a gaggle of nonsentient golems
>>744740174Of course the comments are full with tendie bootlickers lmao
>>744742238you literally cannot deny that starfox traded readability for le graphics and detail, generic modern voice acfkntand pretty much everything else that comes with le modern reimagining of a garbage company like Capcom had done it like reduced hit effects/feedback and so on
>>744742238You retarded tendie cock sucker, if you had a brain you would see from a mile away this remake is not made by nintendo, they 100% outsourced that shit
>>744742276This video sums up their personalities and actions quite well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=girOGh8ok8U

>>744740174>Bananza>Splatoon Raiders>Pokopia>Rhythm Heaven Groove>Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave looks greatNo, Nintendo is as soulful as ever. Filling the gaps between releases with remakes is perfectly fine.
that's IjewN's way to make up for the fact they gave splatoon raiders a good scorerookie mistake, their bosses weren't happy about that
>>744742276They're so easy to rage-bait.
>>744742947don't forget kirby air ridersapparently putting sakurai on a niche gamecube arcade racer instead of forcing him to churn out a new smash asap is "soulless and derivative"
>>744740174This tweet looks like it was made by one of the schizos on this board. All it needs is one of those [sad news] openers to the headline.
>>744742661Nobody buys your storngarming gaslighting bullshit. Game development will simply become more decentralized. All the megacorps will go the way of the dodo. Trannies will be replaced with AI. Nobody will buy or play the games pushed by the companies deemed too big to fail as they scramble to regulate and control their empire of dirt. It's an exit strategy. Nothing more.
>>744742947>>Bananza>>Splatoon Raiders>>Fire Emblem Fortune's Weavethese are soulless tho
>>744743113seething
Nintendo will absolutely iterate when there's money to be made. Miyamoto was a liar.
>>744743137You are soulless if you think those games lack soul
>>744740627Of course dumb bitch, the GameCube is arguably the one of the best consoles because almost every Nintendo Franchise received a game on it.
look IGN i get it, but sony has to save itself, you cant fix them
>>744743137Prooooh :D
>>744740802it's a soulless corpo calling another corpo soulless, because it takes one to know one after all
>>744742947>>>Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave looks greatretarded shill, fuck off with your woke garbage.
>>744740397>sonybro
>>744743450you poor little victim
>>744743427Go back
>>744741627These buzzwords need to be filtered out for being too spammy as well>Normalfag (just fucking say “Normie” it’s one less syllable)>Your average everyday slur term
>"Moves like sticking with cartridges way past the point of reason."whoever wrote script this is braindeadslotting in a cartridge and playing the game right away is outdated what everyone should be doing is popping in final fantasy 16 on bluray and then waiting an hour for it to copy to the ssd before you can run the game
>>744743162sorry but Bananza in particular was made almost focus tested for low attention span zoomers. in the past Nintendo did not really concern itself with these instant dopamine hit systems like skill trees, equipment with stats, constant never ending stream of shiny baubles to suck up.bananza has all of these.yes the voxel destruction tech is cool, but that's about it. the entire game has 2 interesting types of terrain which are the pink/blue ones which is used like once, and then the hover one. it's severely lacking in creativity. every banana in every level is hidden in the same kinds of spots. the bananas exist not because someone had a cool idea for where to put one, but because someone said "ok we need to put like 1000 of these in the game because big numbers suggests large amounts of content and that's what the modern player wants more than they desire quality"
>>744740174I find it absolutely fucking absurd that in a world where Sony just announced they're killing physical, get two games out per year, and where Microsoft literally don't even try to make games and sell their 2020 console for $800, that companies still take shots at Nintendo who actually release games
>>744742180Mario & Luigi Brothership really did deserve the 5/10 it got.
>>744740174>Wind waker fan has a terrible opinion Wow what a surprise
>>744740896Yeah, what about...umm...Yoshi and the Mysterious Book...and....uhhhh...The Disney Afternoon Collection?
>>744742660Nintendo has no definitive 2020s franchise that became as successful as Splatoon did. Pic unrelated.
>>744743558the victim are the fire emblem fans, yeah.
>>744742947>Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave>Looks greatCome on now, stop lying to yourself and embarrassing yourself.
>>744740174>IGN sellouts telling us what is soul
I know it's a waste because most of the "people" in this thread are probably bots from mumbai but>nintendo has very often been derivative when it comes to hardware: NES to SNES, Gameboy to Gameboy Advance, DS to 3DS, and arguably the same for their early 3D home consoles. The only time they innovated was after a big failure, the Wii after the GC, the Switch after the Wii U. This reads to me like IGN is disappointed the Switch was a success.>The OoT remake artstyle seems to be in line with the visual presentation of the N64 Zeldas and Twilight Princess. This sort of artstyle isn't uncommon for the Zelda series and a more cartoony cel shaded style wouldn't have been a good fit for it.>This year is full of the kind of releases that the pseudo nostalgic shitposters pretending to regret the Wii era would appreciate if they were sincere: Rhythm Tengoku, Tomodachi Life and Switch Sports are all some of the weirdest, most Iwata era coded franchises in Nintendo's catalog. Games like Raiders and Mysterious Book are also quite unique. There's no reason to only focus on the two remakes when there's 8 more games released by Nintendo this year.
>>744743848You aren't a fan.
>>744743685You're entirely wrong and an overly reductive pseud
>>744743959>you aren't excited for something that looks bad so i will invoke the no true scotsman logical fallacyyou deserve the ruination of the fire emblem franchise, you are enabling it. then in 10 years you'll be crying about how good things used to be like the halofags.
>>744742947I"m only giving you Bananza, and hell, it's just Odyssey 2 with DK instead of Mario.
>>744743928Everyone is excited for Fortune's Weave except the perpetual victims of /v/. Exhibit A >>744744064
>>744744109If it was pic related you wouldn't have retards like >>744743685spewing their drivel
>>744744113This is probably the same retard that was hyping up Prime 4 before it came out saying it didn't look too bad LMAO
>>744740174"This place, it's all feces and urine, and aids infected syringe needles, sweet god this is hell, please help me" - Iwata (2012) when asked about Nintendo America
>>744741646>nintendo has always been greedy kikes No shit lmao Tendies are the only (lesser) beings that are happy to be paying more for games.
>>744744176whatever helps you sleep at night
>>744744198Nice strawman. I never hyped up Prime 4 here. I was looking forward to the game and was disappointed by it. Fortune's Weave is quite obviously going to be excellent. The direct yesterday confirmed it.
>>744744119The one on the right looks better.
>>744744064halo died because it changed studios, said studio head was a woman, and it was developed by contractors that quote "hated halo"
>>744744289I accept your concession
>>744743714>you should be happy with mediocre games that score in the lower 80s just because they’re exclusive What about for the rest of us that don’t care about how much profit Nintendo makes?
>>744744415if living in a fantasy world helps you sleep a night, you do you
>>744743714The entire industry is imploding and journos are nagging Nintendo for sticking to what works. It’s utterly baffling. I suppose the message is that they should also join the rest of the platform vendors in sodomizing customers with a shotgun before deepthroating the barrel.
>>744744109Absolutely not. I got bored of DK 3-4 hours in because it’s a game made for fucking toddlers.
>>744744469>cares about urnialist scoresWhat about the rest of us that actually play games?
>>744743714Literal clown world. These people would rather have the whole industry collapse than admit Nintendo is maybe doing something right.
>>744744547I accepted your concession. No need to continuously worry about my sleep.
>>744744560Those people are bitching about Nintendo’s slew of boring shovelware, I’d wager.
>>744744331I knew MP4 was going to be shit from just looking at the trailers. I got the same vibe from the FW direct. The Splatoon Raiders direct is what looked excellent and that ended up being excellent. The cast for FW is too brown, there are no young female characters being shown, there is no lunatic/maddening mode and the dialogue on display was not good. I'm sorry but if you're excited for FW at this point you're hopeless. It's another western pandering game like MP4 was.
>>744744469>that score in the lower 80sso it's not just shitposting, you do take the gaming press seriously lmaothe absolute state of /v/jeets
>>744743714why would you write an article about whether a company is losing its magic touch about companies that have lost their magic 20 some years ago?nintendo is literally the only company left where there's even an argument to be had about this topic. Sony and Microsoft are already dead, why is this so difficult for you to comprehend? there is no point in questioning Sony's or Microsharts integrity, they factually have none.Nintendo actually has something that they can lose
>>744744609yep
>>744744696>tendies spend years spamming 97 on /v/>wtf don’t use my own metrics against me when it doesn’t fit my narrative!
>>744743943>>The OoT remake artstyle seems to be in line with the visual presentation of the N64 Zeldas and Twilight Princess.lol you are absolutely soulless. The OoT prerendered backgrounds looked way more tasteful than this slop does.
>>744744176>>744744109Nin10doland would eat this shit up
>>744740174>palfags posting fucking IGN articlesMy god.
>>744740174This pretty much confirms what I've thought for the last year and half or so, the western media has a hit order out for Nintendo because they're not falling in line making woke propaganda slop and moving their headquarters to America.
>>744740174He's right and /v/tendo can't find any fault in his reasoning despite shitting and pissing its pants in rage.
>>744744549it's par for the coursethey mostly ignored the concord clusterfuck (imagine the nonstop articles if nintendo had a 400 million dollars shitshow like that) and spent an entire year trying to kneecap the switch 2 before having to reluctantly admit it was a successat this point only the usual 40 year old genetic defects here are still trying to argue there's a pro nintendo bias in the gaming press
>>744744627Keep dreaming if living in a land of delusions where you can invent boogeymen that don't actually exist keeps you happy bro
>>744740174Are we going to pretend that the Gamecube was super popular and not a colossal failure that even got fucking outsold by a newcomer like the OG Xbox of all things? They weren't selling the Gamecube at $49 during a black friday in 2006 for no reason. They had such a large surplus of unsold ones that they needed to get whatever money they could from it. >>744740297The Wii was popular in a novelity sort of way. Like first console Nintendo sold that just flew off the shelves. Reggie is the GOAT because he really pushed to have Wii Sports bundled in with the console, which played a crucial role on why it sold so well. That and the fact that the Wii Shop came out at the right time to pander to nostalgia of older games when emulation was still very niche.Just you wait until the Wii U gets the Gamecube treatment of "Sure, it sold like dogshit, but acksually it's the most beloved console of all time!" Infact it's already in the early motion, since I'm seeing people try and make excuses for Star Fox Zero being a "good" game.
>>744744834>the western media has a hit order out for Nintendo because they're not falling in line making woke propaganda slopYou aren't playing Nintendo games then because Z-A was browner than the FF7 remakes.
>>744740174>WTF I love IGN now?>Several weeks later>IGN gives Wolverine a 9/10>Fuck IGN I never trusted those leftshits!
>>744740174KekEven the mongoloids at IGN see it, what does that say about the dented tendies on this board?
>>744744668I got around to watching the VOD of the FE direct and the fact that it had to describe basic gameplay mechanics had me laughing in a sense where Nintendo really thinks Gaijin Americans are stupid.
>>744744773>still completely mindraped by botw ten years inoh no no no no hahahahahaha
>>744744917>Like first console Nintendo sold that just flew off the shelves.I meant to say "first console Nintendo sold SINCE the SNES"
>>744740174Nintendo's not losing it's soul, it just grew and moved forward while you stayed behind to bask in your rose-tinted Neverland. Get with the times, Sweet Pete.
>>744744668I get that brown people scare you, but the advertising for Fortune's Weave is beyond(lol) anything we got for Prime 4. You are seriously coping if you think otherwise.
>>744740174Tendiebros.....
>>744740174I mean, it obviously has. They haven't really produced a new IP since 2017 with ARMS and dropped it when it didn't sell a bijillion copies. 2017 was really the last time Nintendo made something that really broke into the mainstream with Breath of the Wild (people forget how much of a big deal that was). Since then, its been a few iterative sequels and "Do it yourself" gameplay design or Open World. All of their games are "Just OK." Like Im sure Bananza and Raiders are fun, but are they on the same caliber as Nintendo's previous titles? Fuck no. Nintendo now takes longer to make stuff and its inferior to stuff they've made in the past. The Switch 2 has a fuck ton of games and none of them are notable.
>>744740397IGN gave marathon a 9/10. Do whatever you will with that information.
>>744744987BOTW was so sick that the only people still talking about it are tendies on this board who use it as a meme.Lel

>>744744892The irony. Nice english btw.
>>744745106>BOTW was so sick that the only people still talking about it are tendies on this boardwhatever helps you avoid the rope sister
>>744744917>Are we going to pretend that the Gamecube was super popular and not a colossal failure that even got fucking outsold by a newcomer like the OG Xbox of all things?you mean the thing that is actually highlighted in the actual video if you had watched it and is considered one of the reasons why Nintendo stopped chasing graphics competition (game cube showreel was nothing but graphics presentations which proves that they were trying to compete with the other 2 at the time) and instead did their own thing with the Wii?
>>744740397>t. so-nygger
>>744740174WHAT SOUL NIGGER? THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 40 FUCKING YEARS
>>744745080>The Switch 2 has a fuck ton of games and none of them are notableTheyre not just unnotable, they are two bit shit that compromise our most hated games of all time, everyone on this board agrees Fortunes Weave is the most hated game of 2026
>>744743759>Yoshi and the Mysterious Bookyeah, what about it, you gonna call that soulless too? people don't know what soul is if you think Yoshi or splatoon raiders don't have it.
>>744745140lmao esl tard can't parse a reasonably simple long sentence
>>744745080>Like Im sure Bananza and Raiders are fun, but are they on the same caliber as Nintendo's previous titles? Fuck no.They are trash flops hated by everyone on 4chan. I and many other channers are in the exact same length as you.
>the last time Nintendo made something that really broke into the mainstream at least three switch games outsold botw and two were released after it, no (You) for you you quadruple nigger
>>744740174It's really fucking funny considering that I remember in being in middle school when Wind Waker came out and every kid and person on an online forum mocked it for looking like cartoony kiddy shit. >Nooooo Zelda is meant to be super serious and dark. Bring back Ocarina of Time!!!!And then people went ballistic over the Twilight Princess trailer in 2004 before eventually it coming out and it was just decent at best.And that 8.8 that IGN gave TP got torn to shreds. But in reality, it deserved a 7.8.
>744744987>tendie deflection Figured. >>744745080>Like Im sure BananzaIf your age is in the single digits, maybe. It’s a game for toddlers and I regret buying it. Less so for the money and more so for telling Nintendo I support fetus games.
>>744744969To be fair, a lot of them are.>>744745061It's not scary you retard, it's a sign that the game was designed to satisfy western audiences and that is objectively bad because the games doing the same have been awful for the longest time. E33 had more young female characters than FW does despite being a French game with a pitiful cast size, but that at least was trying to emulate Japanese games instead of being a Japanese game trying to appeal to westerners like FW. Get better pattern recognition.

>>744742947only soulful one in this list is Bananza.you also forgot Kirby Air Riders, THE most soulful game on the Switch 2.everything else on this list is various degrees of soulless.
>>744740174It's definitely a question mark. Say what you will about Botw and Odyssey but they defined a generation and Botw in particular has influenced dozens of games since it came out. It also had the greatest JRPG of all time in its first year (Xenoblade Chronicles 2). Switch 2 has had nothing like that. It's like they know everyone is already pre-bought in from the original Switch run.
>>744745371>If your age is in the single digits, maybe. It’s a game for toddlers and I regret buying it. Less so for the money and more so for telling Nintendo I support fetus games.Geeeeeg based!

>>744745386says the person who dismissed everything I wrote as "drivel" and made up a scenario in his head where surely I wouldn't have criticized bananza the way I did if it had you play as mario instead of dk.anyway, hope you're just baiting and shit posting. or maybe the internet really has poisoned your mind to this extent.

>>744743612filtering never works because people find workarounds. It also shows a severe bias if mods don't bother to filter out everything and just things they personally don't like. All that does is exacerbate people to intensify buzzword crafting or finding workarounds.
>>744745623Everything you wrote was drivel thoughbeit
>>744745371Seriously, DK Bananananananaananananananaaz next to MP4 is our most hated game of 2025.
>>744743612You need to go back, normalfag has been around forever
>>744744109It's really not. Bonanza is garbage compared to Odyssey.
>>744745575>>744745657good goy! clap like a seal!
>>744745796It's seriously universally hated on 4chan for a reason.
>>744744747Sorry, but you're very naive if you really think that a soulless corpo like IGN has given up on Sony or even Microsoft with GTA6 around the corner.These kind of articles are written out of spite with anti-Japanese propaganda and casual racism sprinkled in.It's been the Kotaku and Polygon special for over a decade now, IGN is no different.
>>744745796>>744745743>>744744557>>744745371Daaaaaaaaamn Bonanza really is hated here. Was gonna buy S2 for it but I trust 4chan to inform me of its trashness.
>>744745796>phone posting brownoid
>>744745512Setting it there was a choice. A choice to make a game that appeal more to the west, which is why they are marketing it harder in the west. They are sacrificing the brand to give it more mass appeal to the growing number of diverse weebs, thinking that the whites and asians that are already fans will continue buying the games regardless. We've seen countless games in the past do something similar where they take an IP and try to bring in new audiences with the design choices for their new game at the cost of alienating older fans. You should be able to see this for what it is. Look I know that it's hard, I wanted to ignore Nioh 3 looking to be too easy and I went in hoping that wasn't the case but it was too easy just like we were expecting. They opted for mass appeal instead of delivering a game I would have liked more. The omission of lunatic/maddening mode is a major indicator that FW is prioritizing mass appeal above all else which is why the game is also so inclusive(and the icky young girls that scare away female gamers are removed.)
>>744745905I doubt it's universally hated because most people here won't even own a switch 2. >>744745978Well you were retarded to consider that in the first place. I only bought it for Genesis and FW.
>>744745978Based. Good of you to listen to 4channers anon, we have some of the highest standards in gamimg.
What the fuck is going on in this thread? I actually can't tell if it's multiple schizos stuck in a feedback loop or one schizo and his smart fridges.
>>744744834>because they're not falling in line making woke propaganda slopBro, 70% of Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave's cast is some flavor of ugly shitskin compared to all the previous games having just two or three browns (that were also not as ugly as the ones in this game). Plus Manface Sothis, extremely bland and "conservative" female designs and the complete lack of lolis, Fire Emblem has "made for western woketards" all over it now. This isn't something that came out of nowhere either, did you miss Troon Vivian, Charles Martinet getting demoted out of nowhere to be replaced by a pronounsfaggot, Tomodachi Life having options to accommodate genderblobs, and the ridiculous amounts of censorship they've been enforcing on third-party games lately? Nintendo is fully in lockstep with the party line now.
>>744743759Nintendo has released more games for the Switch 2 than Sony has in the entire life of the Playstation 5.
>>744745796most games are garbage compared to Odyssey to be fair.
>>744746072This. Amd the worst part? Japan loves it. They never, EVER fight back against the wokeness. Nitnendo became more profitable than ever AFTER going woke.
>>744746056There is one schizo currently replying to himself about being a true 4channer or whatever. There are at least 3 or 4 of us actually having a discussion
>>744746056>his smart fridgesThat’s such a funny fucking thing to imagine
>>744740174>Nintendo is a soulless companyit'[s alwats been a mnaggit feeding on gaming and tech fueled by spoilt retarded gits, from 8 bit home computing to now. The only company in gaming I consider genuinely evil and a disease
>>744746153So you're saying the new Fire Emblem game is going to be financially successful.
>>744746072>>744746031HOLY TRVKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFW is co firmed to be THE wokest game of 2026.
>>744745512There was no indication that Dagda was a land of brownoids in Three Houses, the only Dagdan character we saw was a white goth girl (Shamir).
why is this thread so schizoMODS?
>>744746083Eh, Odyssey is a 10/10 presentation wise and the movement feels great but the exploring is extremely repetitive which gives the game no replayability unless you're speedrunning. But yeah I see Odyssey and Bonanza compared a lot which doesn't make much sense to me. Bonanza is designed like a sandbox with the destructible environments but I don't get what the point of it even is, and in true Nintendo fashion all the enemy encounters are baby tier.
>>744746031Even the Halo remake kept its highest diffaculty. The Halo remake! And Fire Emblem is completely babyfying itself for girls and blacks audience? Omg what happened to nintendo
>>744746072the lack of lolis is the biggest red flag in a japanese game. especially a waifu game, it's actually so fucking over.
>>744746072Its being done tastefully. You just have been conditioned to rage about the inclusion of any non-pale character. The game is going to be awesome and will easily outsell Engage
>>744745732even if it were drivel you still went out of your way to invent some imaginary schizo scenario in order to vindicate yourself dismissing it without argument
>>744743393stupid tranny logic.
>>744746056kek
>>744746072i'm literally shaking they need to be based and redpilled like sony and put debra wilson in their games!
>>744746254Bonanza, like all other Scratch Poo games, are casual, and kinda of wokeified, baby shits. Everyone on 4chan hates it for a reason.>>744746284Legit this omg its gonna be so bad amd misandrist.
>>744745345everything you said is right. However, wind waker is worse than twilight princess
>>744746247mods encourage this schizo console war shitposting, why are there even report options for flagrant fanboyism or participating on instigating in flamewars at this point
>>744746284Legit actually so over bro. FW makes ConCord and TLOU2 combined look like Sneran Kagura
>>744740297>>people pretend to like the gamecube and Wii nowNot onlyone wjo actually expeienced them, absolute shit and gamecubeitits and n64itis is thehallmark of an utter cunt. I always assumed it was paid nintendo viral marketing but there are actual cultists who were not even alive for those utter fails to fap to them. People meanwhile were actually playing games on home computers, then PCs and PS1,PS2 and 360s then PCs again. Huge numbers of actual plushie fucking faggot pedos mixed in with their mario cult as well and a huge number of dyke unfuckable braindead women. Nintendo makes mental illness. Brandsloppers.
Is this the snoytranny melty thread? Just accpet jesus and god in your life little schizos it's not hard maybe he can cure you of your NDS and you can live normal, productive lives.
>>744746254Odyssey was absolutely amazing, one of the best switch games in general. The only people who compare Bananza to it are tendies with an agenda to push.
>>744740297never liked wii, but kinda like wiiu(combination of its gimmick being better and also being the only console that generation with exclusives helps)
Nintendo has been on a steady downward trend since Iwata died and anyone who denies this is either delusional or too young to remember when Nintendo was good. The people in charge now are soulless shareholder whores who just want to pump their quarters up. But this is basically every AAA company now
Seeing FEfags lose their mind and try to falseflag is wild.
>>744746494FW is going to be the wokest game of all time next to Xenoblade Genasis, Enel.
>>744745341>no (You) for you you quadruple niggerYou are only doing that because you don't want pushback for your retarded opinions. Lets look at those other games shall me>Mario Kart 8 DeluxeThis is 1)A Wii U game 2)Bundled with Switch almost every holiday and 3)Came out in 2017 which is the year I'm talking about you retarded>Animal Crossing New HorizonsThis was entirely due to COVID where fucking every game was doing well. Everyone hated TLOU2 and it still sold 10 million because everyone was stuck in doors all day. Nintendo benefited a fuck ton from COVID and its why New Horizons didn't really leave an impression. It just so happened to be on the cheapest system and released in March 2020.>Super Smash Bros UltimateThis is really just a combination of Smash Bros's greatest hits and doing the Fortnite model. The "hype" outside of the Nintendo sphere was characters that weren't even from Nintendo. Doesn't really help the case Breath of the Wild was the last time people outside of Nintendo really gave an interest in what Nintendo was doing. It was the last time a Nintendo game won a fuck ton of awards. Nintendo was coasting off the Switch for like 7-8 years. Now that they have to give you a reason to cough up money for a new system does everyone realize the magic is gone. And yeah, its gone. Nintendo isn't making games better than any other company out there except they want you to spend an extra $500 brick to play them and they think they are worth $80. 2017 was the last year Nintendo tried because they came off their worst years and their iconic president died. Since then, they are a husk of their former self. Even if sales collapse and they have to try, no one at the company could replicate what they used to do.
This thread is getting too schizo. Cheers to the anons I had a back and forth with. Even if we disagreed. Closing tab.
>>744746494so the sony fans can get pro-nintendo threads deleted
>>744746563Yep. Fortunes Weave is fixing to make Concord look like HyperDimension Neptunia. Pretty much all sane 4channers are anti-tendo now.
>>744746563haha yeah manremember how successful the wiiu, under iwata's and reggie, was ?i remember
Dammit, is Eric working with Gregory again? I thought we banned him and Jordan.
when did ign becomes based?!?!
>>744746563they were never good the only notable was the nes which was shit comared to stuff like the c64 and amiga, Nintendo cultists are peak millenial troon dyke hipster pedo cunts
>>744746672The Wii U era unironically had more soul than the Woketch Poo era.>>744746621Wall of trvke. Nintendo going banckrupted would be our final hope.
>>744740174People that say this were likely the same kind of people shitting their pants that Wind Waker wasn't dark or realistic looking back in the day. They have zero room to judge "soul"
>>744746665wake me up when a fire emblem game costs $400 million then gets recalled and shutdown after 2 days on the market
>>744746687careful you don't name more people than that that will attend your funeral you walking suicide statistic
>>744740896Xenoblade and Fortune´s Weave look soulless too.
>>744746563even by schizo spam standards, the "nintendo has been on a downward trend, they were actually better during the Wii/Wii U era" is just wildly delusional. don't know why you've been pushing it so hard lately.
>>744746758Based fucking shittendo pedo hipster millenial cuck faggot faggy shit for pedos to fap to shitty waifu fucks jap woke tsard shits
>>744746791fair
>>744746284Dragon lolis have been a staple of virtually every Fire Emblem game. That this one not only completely lacks one, but they went out of their way to age up an old one (without replacing her with a new one like in Awakening) definitely says something.>>744746306I'm done splitting hairs about "tasteful". I decide that, and this game is the opposite of "tasteful". But yes, you're right, my tolerance for shitskins in my Japanese games (country with less than 1% niggers btw) is at an all time low, and I was "conditioned" into this simply by seeing them all pop up and be shilled in my favorite Japanese franchises out of nowhere in the past decade. I already have to deal with them everywhere else, can I not have ONE fucking outlet where their ugly crime-committing mugs aren't everywhere? Stop putting niggers in my games and I will stop complaining. Simple terms. Can't fulfill them? Fuck off.
>>744746072the new yellow hair goddess is pretty cute but other than her its just more awful 3 Houses designs with chocolate flavor.at least its not as bad as Engage I guess.
>>744746804Both of them are our most hated games of their respective years.
>>744746838I'm not Eric.I hate Eric, Jeffrey, AND Lucas.Hell, I even hate Phillip!

>>744740397that's awfully specific in addition to the disproportionate response from the mod team
>>744746687>eric still unable to understand why everyone instantly recognise him being a massive failuere and retard
>>744746994I'm just saying random white names because I don't understand the schizo Eric meme.My best guess is that Eric was some anti-Nintendo console warrior but I thread flooders more than e celebs.
>>744746672>>744746817Half of the switch’s library were Wii U games for one. And secondly, during that era Nintendo had the Nintendo selects line where they sold older games for $20. Modern Nintendo sells 14 year old games for $60 and new games for $80. I’d rather have the cheaper games. I know, I know, your favorite company’s profits matter more than that to you but not to me.
>>744747078is this some schitzo nintendo pedo thing? Sauce
Now I'm confused I thought the eric schizo spam was about Zelda specifically
>>744747202No this guy goes into any Nintendo related threads to shit them up, last week he was spamming Splatoon Raiders review threads.
>>744747119what about pete and alan though and jim? (now shelia, trishia and fiona)
>>744746857>That this one not only completely lacks one, but they went out of their way to age up an old one (without replacing her with a new one like in Awakening) definitely says something.it's incredibly sad to see otaku culture continuously get eroded and replaced with the inclusion of uglier characters. it's even sadder to see people defend it, the normalfags are trying to run us out of the franchises and hobbies that we loved and enjoyed.
>>744746694>Tendie claims Samefag>Is never samefagEvery. Single. Time
>>744745773it's normalnigger
>>744747174I don't think eric is a child diddler like Cacciopo or whatever that sony exec was. I think he's just deeply mentally ill.

>>744747337Sauce then, full ninntendo pedo story. You;ve been spamming the whole fucking thread about this troon, is it chris chan, I though t his whole thing was sega not nintendo?
>>744747316I've never seen a tendie claim "samefag" and ever be right. I really do think the actual Nintendo fans on /v/ are just a few people (who actually samefag) but they have to keep doing this to make themselves believe people outside the echo chamber are really just one guy and its really THEM who are in the majority. I hate to tell you all this, but Eric won a long time ago

>>744740174They're full of shit
>>744747642whatever skitzo troon, whatever. Nintendo is a bag of shit and always was, simple as and whoever your fuckbuddy is I assume you rape mario plushies together.
>>744746857>Dragon lolis have been a staple of virtually every Fire Emblem gameNot present in 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, and 17 that’s half the non-remake FE’s and no, Veyle is not a loli. You’re not a Fire Emblem fan just because you got groomed into infusing pornography into your personality and jacked off to Nowi in your formative years. Fuck off you tourist faggot.
>>744740434The 3DS was the beginning of the end. Demakes, ports that nobody asked for, dead IPs like Pikmin and Chibi-Robo getting turned into braindead sidescrollers, Sticker Star, a gimmick that was so pointless they dropped it halfway into its lifecycle, the onset of microtransactions and DLC, the list goes on.>but muh Kid Icaruseven Nintendo at its worst can't stop Sakurai from making quality games, try as they might
>>744747378everything you love about japanese games is built off that base. everything you like about 4chan was built off that base. if you don't like weeb culture, you shouldn't be on this site.
>>744740174Lol
>he tries his "the jannies are tendies and oppressing sony fans!" cope >this entire thread existing instantly proves him wrong
>>744747759>9, 10this, Tellius belongs to the (fake) bird loli (Sanaki) and the actual bird loli yune.
>>744747986>bird goddessDagda Tellius confirmed.
>>744747759>they're present in every other game instead of every single game so they're not a stapleThey've been an archetype since the very first game, Veyle is a loli and calling people porn addicts is not an argument, you don't have to look at any form of porn to know what a loli is, they're just a staple of Japanese anime-centric media. One that you evidently are desperate to downplay.
>>744747479I’m aware, I had the thing. Having them sold back to me for $60 and told to shut up and take it by the rabid fanatics on this board during the same switch 1 droughts was fun.
raped n gaped li'l niggy thread
>>744747510Stop melting down, eric. It makes you look even more desperate than Snoy.
>>744747479also the wii u was a massive flop so for 90% of players those wii u games were new

>>744740907>nobody used the 3d effect after the first week palI sure did... greater visual step up than hd
>>744748227if you rebuy a game you already owned you only have yourself to blame for the money you wasted. If you had a Wii U and already bought those games there was no reason to pick them up on Switch, your Wii U still works fine.

>>744743246>NBA courtside 2002Man, I forgot how desperate Cubetoddlers were where they started including exclusive sportsball titles. Despite there being third party gen 6 sportsball games that were far better (see: NBA Street V3).
>>744748215>They've been an archetype since the very first gameThat was immediately dropped for the 2nd game, only brought back for the 3rd game because it was a sequel set on the same continent with the same characters, and then not present in 4 and 5. Kaga then left IS, and IS, in a state of creative bankruptcy, brought back the archetype for FE6 before dropping it again for FE7. Again half of the franchise does not have this supposed “staple” and you’re acting like it means anything. Did FE7 not replacing Fa spell doom? Did Kaga self-censor with FE4? I don’t expect an answer because an honest person wouldn’t comment on games they’ve never played.
>>744747157>Half of the switch’s library were Wii U gamesThere are roughly a dozen Wii U ports on Switch, Nintendo have published over 100 games on the Switch.
>>744748857>before dropping it again for FE7.they just swapped the gender. FE7 had a dragon shota who spends the whole game telling Eliwood to fuck his sister.

>>744740753I think overall the art direction is really good.
anyone got a name of the cuck who wrote the article?
>>744740174There's a non-zero percent chance that Dragon Hopper may be the best game they release this year, and it's a fucking 30-year old Virtual Boy game blocked behind three layers of paywallsThat's how bad it's gotten
>>744749226
>>744748857>Again half of the franchise does not have this supposed “staple” and you’re acting like it means anythingAn archetype not being in every single game does not mean that archetype doesn't exist, and no your excuses to wave away their appearances in the games they do don't count. Read the room you retard. Lolis have been steadily getting censored out of everything since 2020 with Nintendo now actively participating and then SUDDENLY the newest Fire Emblem game has none when they were common in the series before. Between that and the multitude of other indications that the game is made for the worst, most obnoxious western woketards, and you expect me to not at least raise an eyebrow? It's starting to sound a lot like you're exactly the kind of pants-shitting policore gaijin that Fortune's Weave is gunning for.
>>744740397>nintoddIerdiddIersskill issue
it's simpleif the next mainline zelda has you play as old Link, Nintendo still got soul.anything else and they're soulless.

>>744740174You know it's bullshit when even their own comments are calling them out
funny how all of /v/ was like "they really did hire that man" after Starfox and now OoT Remake announcement, but when an ign dude (ign isn't one person) makes an article posing that very same question everyone here shits themselves. I thinks it's valid criticism and also a valid fear after Miyamoto defended mediocrity with the mario galaxy movie on top of everything else Nintendo has been up to
>>744748412No actually. My Wii U burned out on me. Apparently not using it for a long time leads to it burning itself out. I discovered it randomly when I had the itch to replay one of the HD Zelda’s.
>>744749485>i need to play as a grown upyeah you're probably so obsessed with soul/soulless because you're a soulless npc yourself
>>744749679>all of /v/it's really just one NDS schizo that keeps spamming the board
Go search "Fortune's Weave brown" on Twitter right now. The entire feed is nothing but faggots with flags and pronouns in their bios praising the "diversity" and hoping they go even further and add trannies and cripples next game. This is Fortune's Weave's audience. In hindsight Three Houses brought these faggots in by the droves and now the cancer is terminal. Engage was just a temporary relapse.
>>744749589>umm the switch 2 and these remakes aren't proof enough that Nintendo has lost its soulwow, very smart and astute observation. maybe that's why the title of the video is "is Nintendo LOSING its soul?", not "have they lost it?"it's an article that is discussing whether we're seeing nintendo shifting to a different trend.I'd blame ESLs but reading comprehension is down across the globe
>>744749761are you retarded? where did I say that? why would I care about Zelda in the first place if that was a requirement for me? It would simply be a fresh angle on the zelda mythos, that's all
>>744749679>all of /v/you and your discord tranny friends endlessly spamming the catalog do not constitute "all of /v/" you kike
>>744749337>An archetype not being in every single game does not mean that archetype doesn't existIt wouldn’t be a staple and it wouldn’t be indicative of anything, imagine if I went on some rant about how 3H removing the Jagen archetype indicates that Nintendo went woke because Jagen represents the patriarchal masculine old guard and their absence is feminist rhetoric. >Lolis have been steadily getting censored out of everything since 2020 with Nintendo now actively participatingA loli was just added to an iconic 2017 Nintendo RPG, FEH still has lolis, a new Splatoon game just came out, hell, the DK series just ADDED a loli in their most recent game, you have a persecution complex.>Between that and the multitude of other indications that the game is made for the worstYour persecution complex means you’re probably reading signs where there are none. But to be fair, the game’s not out yet so we can’t know for sure.
>>744749930Anyone on /v/ buying FW at launch is foolish. Buy a used copy a week or 2 after it comes out to deny Nintendo a sale on it if you must play it. If it does well, FE will continue to be the same way going forward. It's only by not buying it that you can get it to return to what it once was.
>>744749953>we're just asking questions goy!!!maybe this talmudic horseshit is working with the 80 IQ IGN audience but obviously the faggot is making a point in the video, he's not having some sort of debate it's an opinion piece
The seeds for Fire Emblem selling out to woke were planted the very moment Nintendo decided to acquiesce to the "WHERE'S THE GAY MARRIAGE IN MY MEDIEVAL TACTICAL EUGENICS SIMULATOR" crowd and give them token options in Fates. Everything has steadily sprouted from that. Pray they don't do a Fates remake, they will 100% make the royals gay
>>744749930>>744750297I'm still buying it.
>>744750239> new Splatoon game just came out, hell, the DK series just ADDED a loli in their most recent game,NTA but those don't have romance mechanics like Fire Emblem. Do you people think before you post or do you just spout random bullshit to have online arguments all day?
>>744749629Try again retard
>>744750239>dude you just have a persecution complex>no, Nintendo didn't just ban Neptunia off their consoles because it has tame loli fanservice by pre-COVID standards, that's just your imagination
>>744750440his opinion is that yes, signs are pointing to Nintendo losing its soul, but that doesn't mean it's conclusive. he's right to question their current trajectory, especially in a world where everyone goes for safe and low risk
>>744750529Many Fire Emblem games don’t have romance mechanics and the mechanic was never brought up as precedent. FE1 certainly doesn’t and that poster appealed to it earlier in the reply chain. FE6, 8, and even 17 may be disqualified under that criteria seeing as the dragon lolis in those games don’t have romantic paired endings.
>>744750751>hes still trying this reminder that compile shart claimed this , then their latest game on playstation was the biggest flop in their studio's history, and then a few days later they put the game on switch with zero issue
>>744750297If it does well Nintendo will continue pricing games at $80. But tendies want that since above all else they want their favorite company to make money by charging premium prices on cheaply made games. That’s why they loved that Star fox, a game that’s less than an hour long is being sold for full price.
>>744750473The fact Monolith doesn't make another Xenoblade game like 2 again despite it being far and beyond the best selling is proof enough that NoA is fucking these games up
>>744750920>he says this as sony is selling games for $100-$150
Stupid article, some part of them like the splatoon and rythm heaven one are still soulful. But yeah the main Zelda team is soulless and the mario team is getting close with how bland tthr menus are in bananza and odyssey. Star fox was another studio but the fact they accepted it as is show that it's not entirely wrong
>>744750924I don't why you morons don't understand XB2 is a literal outlier and not anything monolith has do before or since.
>>744750971>tendie compares the prices of deluxe editions to Nintendos base game prices lolBut you knew that.
>>744750541it's best to just ignore him
>>744750751Just saying, if you didn't post the same debunked image every thread MAYBE people wouldn't instantly recognise you and laugh at you.

>>744750829Look, I'm not really a FE guy. I just chimed in here because I finished Danganronpa v3 recently and watched the romance scenes on youtube afterwards instead of grinding them out and the comments for the small character(the same age as the MC) were all about how gross it was or "FBI! OPEN UP!" memes. Meanwhile the comments for the shota character pushing the male MC on a bed is about how hot it is and there was no issue with any of the older looking girls.There is absolutely a double standard when it comes to small girls in any game with romance elements. Persona 5 was the same with everyone acting like the 1 year gap between Futaba and the MC was a big deal while shipping the MC with the teacher or nurse who had a much large age gap. Removing small girls as romance routes even when they're the same age is pandering hard to the west because the west freaks the fuck out over that scenario. So if FE used to have romance routes with smaller characters and now it doesn't, that's a very bad sign because they are listening to what the western branch is telling them to do and if that involves Treehouse then holy fuck. We've seen Square have their western officers dictate what the JP devs should do so that's a real possibility.
>>744751281That’s the exact reason I’m not buying it on day 1 and will wait for it to be cheap. Which doesn’t happen with Nintendo games either lmfaoThanks for proving my point twice tho
>chink shart nigger is also heredo these NDS faggots all have some discord where they coordinate their threads and shitposts about Nintendo together or something
>>744751137Snoys buy those deluxe editions more than they do the base editions, those are the ones topping charts.

>>744750924Monolithsoft simply aren't sellouts who would sacrifice their vision for profits and it wouldn't make sense to make the culmination of the series and their company, a 1:1 copy of their most recent best-selling game. 3 is just Xenosaga. Ep.III again regardlessFrom what we've seen of Genesis it's already taking more after 2 than 1 and 3 because it's set in an actual world with multiple nations in conflict where beast people and humans co-exist.
>>744752282then why does genesis look like a low effort cash grab.

I'd like to know how that conversation went behind the scenes. "Uhh we don't think western audiences will appreciate rubbing corrins hand through his wife's hair." Like.. what the fuck? Why are retarded westerners allowed to remove content from games? Why do these Japanese developers listen to and believe them?

>>744752883I'm really sick and tired of people defending this shit game because its baby artstyle is "soulful" or something. Terrible zelda title
What was the point of resurrecting the console wars if all you people are gunna do with it is sperg out online.
>>744742947Ironic since the Link's Awakening remake has to be one of the most soulless things I've ever played. From the dead beady eyed characters to the removal of the photo quest in exchange of a fucking useless dungeon builder it tried its hardest to run the reputation of the series even lower in the ground than BotW and TotK ever could.

>>744753405XB2 had plenty of controversy and risks, including some of the blade designs, mythra and pyra showing lots of skin (which has been toned down in the remaster, btw), the joke about the one eyed monster, etc. You start out as an annoying shounen protag, and you do shit like go inside of titans, explore all these cool places, and even finish the game in space. XB3 has you wandering around generic as fuck biomes (grass, desert, woods) that don't even look like previous xenoblade games and lack a lot of the distinct art. You basically just go from area to area liberating a bunch of generically dressed kids. Your quest of going from base to base ends in some shitty poorly textured purple dungeon that looks like they rushed it because they didn't expect anyone to actually finish the game. And I say this as someone who really likes XBX, XB1, and XB2. XB3 doesn't feel like xenoblade, it feels like a generic JRPG with some fan service thrown in for xenoblade fans. XB1, XB2, and XBX are designed for people who always liked JRPGs and XB3 is designed for people who don't know what a JRPG is.
Anyone else tired of bad faith posts like this? >>744754309

>>744753405Xenoblade 2 dared to have designs that were sexy without needing to justify them during the fallout of GamerGate. The usual suspects immediately started slandering it and tossing shit from the very first trailer and every journalist was bashing it.By contrast, Xenoblade 3 was made after MeToo basically gave the feminists a cultural victory, the designs are made to be as conservative as possible in response to the complaints about 2, there is a much greater presence of "diverse" characters including a main character, and the game (or at least the localization) acts like one of Heroes is a tranny. Journalists praised it.
>>744747063It's because ***toddler is already filtered from over a decade ago. Adding more letters onto the end still triggers the filter. Hope this helps, newfaggot.
>>744754510Calm down.
>>744740174Except the new Fire Emblem appears to be taking legitimate creative risks instead of falling back on its laurels>5 protagonists>not going for quick woke points but actually including various non-white culture, which pisses off culture warriors and chuds>JRPG dungeon crawling>new classes>stat growth indicators>new music and new remixes of old musiclast year, Nintendo came out with Kirby Air Riders, which itself is a risky idea. Splatoon Raiders is a little less risky but still fairly different compared to Splatoon 3's iterations on salmon run. The new Rhythm Heaven is new and original. Nintendo has been putting out a lot of standard stuff, but every year they've carved out space for original work.
>>744754141>>744754147
>>744754809the same people who called XB2 designs "ugly" went on to make games like concord, these people are completely disconnected from their audience and as a result they are tanking their games and causing mass firings

>>744754948>creative risks>you're fighting evil dragon with OC donut steel character againlol, lmao even
>>744754403As someone who played every XC game basically as they came out, XC1 only "feels" like a return to JRPGs because it came out during the cultural backlash against JRPGs after FFXIII. A lot of the game's DNA is Takahashi's take on FFXII mixed with a fresh world to roam in, but the Operation Rainfall campaign has made people far kinder towards that game than they would have otherwise.XC3 has some blatant problems, but it feels like a JRPG, and it certainly feels like Xenoblade.
>>744755109And it feels so good
>>744754948>not going for quick woke points but actually including various non-white culture, which pisses off culture warriorsDude, go on Twitter and you will see dozens and dozens of gay flags and she/thems praising Fortune's Weave for the diversity and "non-white culture". The only people this game is pissing off is the chuds and weebs which is by design, it's making a conscious choice to appeal to the woke crowd which is sadly the biggest and most vocal crowd of 3Hfags.>last year, Nintendo came out with Kirby Air Riders, which itself is a risky idea"Sequel to one of the most popular racers on the Gamecube" is not a risky idea at all and if anything it was long overdue.
>>744755227>>you're fighting evil dragon with OC donut steel character againStupid NPC. The problem with Fire Emblem dragon plots is that they treat this like it's the big revelation. The dragon / evil god in this game is premise. The actual plot takes place between the drama of the games as well as navigating the apocalypse that's already begun. The game trailers and direct have been extremely confident in showing off more and more unique things from the gameplay and setting. It's clear the game has cards up its sleeve.
>>744744119>snoyggers so desperate to shit on the remake they'll defend command designs>that no starfox fan has ever likedWe keep reaching new lows. Lmao
>>744755396>The only people this game is pissing off is the chuds and weebs which is by design, it's making a conscious choice to appeal to the woke crowd which is sadly the biggest and most vocal crowd of 3Hfags.You mentioned shit about twitter reactions, which is presented as the signifier to the thing pissing you off. It sounds like you're trying to justify feeling pissed at twitter bios to get mad at a company putting brown characters in their video game that features flamenco music and belly dancers.>"Sequel to one of the most popular racers on the Gamecube" It doesn't even make top 20. It's outsold by REMake 1, which was widely considered a financial failure. Three Mario Party games outsold it.

Pyra is still in her default appearance on the fucking boxart>the joke about the one eyed monster, You're praising the localization?>You start out as an annoying shounen protagRex isn't really remotely annoying, you only think he was because of how over saturated the generic shonen protag archetype is. >and you do shit like go inside of titans, explore all these cool places, and even finish the game in space.Nearly every Xenogame involves space in some way>XB3 has you wandering around generic as fuck biomes (grass, desert, woods) that don't even look like previous xenoblade games and lack a lot of the distinct art. See pic related >You basically just go from area to area liberating a bunch of generically dressed kids. Your quest of going from base to base ends in some shitty poorly textured purple dungeon that looks like they rushed itThe massive sci-fi superstructure dungeon is a Xeno staple, only 1 doesn't have it because it wasn't originally a Xenogame.>because they didn't expect anyone to actually finish the game.Why did they include the photo at the end then?>XB3 doesn't feel like xenobladeBecause it's them stripping the Blade away and going into legally-distinct Xenosaga>>744754809Basically XB2 was a singular outlier within the metafranchise and they course-corrected back to the regular Xeno-amount of fanservice contained in each game.
>>744754948>creative risksNo its that they have no idea what they are going. They were riding high until Engage. When it under performed (it sold less than half of 3H and less than Awakening) they broke glass and went back to Fodlan. The designs clash by trying to be both Engage and 3H. We have an avatar character with the usual Type A/B. We have a character that just has a gun because fuck you. No one understands how the plot is suppose to work. Its a fucking mess. Its clear IS has just ran out of ideas and doesn't know what to do with FE
>if it doesn't look like a toddler's cartoon, it's soulless!really tired of wind waker tards
>>744756259>Copious amounts of fanservice isn't taking risksit is in 2026, and it was in 2017 in the west. not as much in 2017 japan as otaku games were still in a healthy state at the time, though you could say such a high budget attempt was ambitious
>>744744773>sony cultists spam metacritic endlessly >a nintendo game gets a high score >endless seethe and screaming the scores don't count anymore
>>744756471The funniest thing about the metacritic scores no longer counting anymore is that tendies were the first to cry about that in this topic because it proves that Nintendo has been releasing slop all year long. Maybe they’ll release something better than mediocre before the year ends. Or maybe they won’t, who knows.
>>744756385>No its that they have no idea what they are going.I love when anons spew stupid shit about their sales and series direction headcanon. Fortune's Weave has cohesive faction aesthetics and brings them together for a gladiator, winner-takes-all tournament arc that culminates in disaster. It's sold as a mystery-intrigue plot with supernatural stakes, which is itself interpolating two popular styles of RPG stories (the human interest RPG and the save the world RPG). >The designs clash by trying to be both Engage and 3H.This is the most retarded thing about your post. It clearly takes from 3H by having 4 "houses", but what exactly does it take from Engage? Candy colored hair? The engage system? The UI? Everything it might have taken from Engage are fundamental encounter designs, not the actual flavor or aesthetic of the game, and that's frankly good because Engage's dogshit story still had some amazing encounters.>We have an avatar character with the usual Type A/BOh no, the horror, having male/female MCs but now with customizable hair color. The horror, the creative bankruptcy.>We have a character that just has a gun because fuck you.We have a nun with a gun in a game that has anachronistic elements and time travel. The gun is goofy, but it's also supposed to clearly be something from the future. Just as Lucina is clearly supposed to be from the future in Awakening.>No one understands how the plot is suppose to work. Its a fucking mess.This is actual headcanon. They had like 4 minutes across the stream dedicated to the plot. They have 4 separate main characters and a unified future protag with two different routes (solo or recruit from the past). They let you switch perspective at any time. They're clearly extremely confident in the story they're telling here, given that everything in the trailer has to do with fate, personal ambition, greed, and consequences.Almost everything you said is doomposting with little basis.
>>744743943I'm glad they didn't go with the BOTW cel-shaded art style.It works for that game, but OoT is definitely better with a more realistic approach.
>>744756764>schizobabble to try cope
western journalists have been saying nintendo sucks for over twenty years now, it's why since like 2011 Nintendo releases their own news instead of giving out press packets
>>744757285>twenty years nowThis goes back to 1985 when a Japanese brand saved USA from itself.
>>744756764but snoys were the ones spamming tlou metacritic scores in the first place
>>744756443NiER:Automata, a game that came out the same year as XB2, is still massively popular, so much so that getting Yoko Taro to helm an Eva show got a lot of buzz.They would have took a much bigger risk if they altered the base XB2 game in any way in current year because of the cultural climate and it's more perfectly acceptable now to be an anime "gooner". They even felt comfortable enough to give MOMO a new mesugaki form. XB3 took a sizeable larger risk having a darker tone, not having any explicit answers to lingering plot threads connected to the Klaus trilogy in the base game and saving the different artist designed characters for the dlc.
>>744756259>Copious amounts of fanservice isn't taking risksIn this era? Yes, yes it is, especially if you're not a gacha game. Don't believe me, just try and produce a game with designs like Xenoblade 2 in current year and see how it goes, or even just listen to the words of some of the few developers left working in that area on how hard life is for them now. At least one of Sony, Nintendo or Steam is probably going to censor or outright ban your game in addition to all the shit you'll have to put up with from Twittertards and journalists. The environment is NOT friendly to ecchi in current year which is part of why Xenoblade 2 is so fascinating in hindsight, it was basically the last attempt at such aesthetic choices in a AAA-budget game. In current year you hardly even see such designs in lower-budget games (that aren't gacha, again).
>>744740174damn I'm surprised ign of all places has the balls to call them out. they're not wrong, although imo they've been soulless since the wii u
>>744757463dont forget the 2 days where the board was unusable because sony cultists were spamming astroflop's metacritic score
>>744757463OkaySo tendies got their “revenge” with botw. And since both sides have decided that metacritic counts, I’m glad you agree that Nintendo has released really mediocre games on the switch 2 so far.
>>744757570xenoblade games are AAjust wanted to point that out
>>744757705>sealion boy is melting down again
>>744757771>nintendo is going to charge an $80premium for AA gamesMakes sense, they’re extremely greedy.
>>744757285This especially made journalists angry because they can't post gay art of Mario and Luigi at Nintendo directs.
>>744757517Nier Automata faced significant backlash on release for its sexualized protagonist, it was later 'brought into the fold' like Bayonetta but that doesn't change how it was reacted to on launch>They would have took a much bigger risk if they altered the base XB2 game in any way in current year because of the cultural climatebecause that would be censorship and would cause controversy. they got new outfits which show less skin which is probably how they would have designed them if the game was made today>and it's more perfectly acceptable now to be an anime "goonerif that was true there would be more anime fanservice games that weren't predatory gacha or threadbare indie titles
>>744757676>i'm surprised that site that is paid by sony is pushing sony propaganda

>>744757517>NiER:Automata, a game that came out the same year as XB2, is still massively popularYeah, so is Xenoblade 2, they got grandfathered in at best. Do you not see how Stellar Blade was and still is the flashpoint of a massive culture war? That is the opposite of "uncontroversial". Or are we just going to pretend Compile Heart, GUST, qureate, Inti Creates, Aquaplus, etc. don't have to massively censor their games just to avoid getting banned from the market?>it's more perfectly acceptable now to be an anime "goonerThe fuck are you trying to fool? You can hardly step one foot on normgroid social media like Twitter without some faggot calling you a coomer/gooner, a porn addict, or some other term, and God help you if you happen to like the "problematic" fanservice (loli or any flavor of JS/JC/JK) too. Japan got spooked so much by this shit that you now barely see fanservice from them any more and anything that looks like Xenoblade 2 is now only really coming out of China and Korea because they haven't been targeted to such an extent yet.

>>744758058
>>744757973Personally I liked RDR 2 more. Same score, but the sales are just slightly higher at double. Then again maybe it’s unfair to compare an 8 year old franchise (at the time) to something stale like Zelda which could explain the sales disparity. I also preferred Totk to botw myself. Glad we could come to this agreement though! Think Nintendo still has it in them to make good games or are low 80s the best they’ll charge $80 for?
>>744758259>baldy loves railroaded story games now
>>744758259I preferred GOTD winner BotW
>>744756996>Fortune's Weave has cohesive faction aestheticsStopped reading there
>>744758149All of those except the last one are correct. People forget the DS was getting its ass kicked by the PSP early on. It wasn't until Nintendogs/NSMB/DSLite that they started turning things around and had this monuments run.
>>744758531>a-aa-all of them are correct
>>744758373yeah only Theodora's faction has cohesion (maybe Cai's too). The rest are rag tag groups of travelers who just met deciding to work together
>>744757570Digimon Time Stranger has main character designs by "Anti-gravity" tits, Yasuda, himself and it's the highest selling Digimon game with high-lvl mons looking like this.>The environment is NOT friendly to ecchi in current yearI don't think XB2 is on the same level of ecchi as get banned from steam. The anime hi-jinks never go beyond Mythra mistakenly sleeping in Rex's bed >which is part of why Xenoblade 2 is so fascinating in hindsight, it was basically the last attempt at such aesthetic choices in a AAA-budget gameXenoblade isn't AAA...Especially not 2 as it was heavily outsourced.>>744757881>because that would be censorship and would cause controversy. Showing that they're not as afraid of bad press as they are fan backlash >they got new outfits which show less skin which is probably how they would have designed them if the game was made todayMight be cope, might not be, either way it's a hypothesis based on wishful thinking and the main artist for Genesis designed Masha for XB3, proving they still don't any issues with fanservice designs.
>>744758531what is this revisionismthe psp was a literal flop until monster hunter saved it
>>744745773Shut up Normie
>>744746072And people still care about Fire Emblem in the big 2026 lmao
>>744740174Don't worry, it's not just Nintendo, everything is like this and will only get worse. Better find something you like in this world that's free while you can. Soon you won't be able to even look at a tree for free
>>744758919Just as an fyi, he doesn’t believe the shit he’s saying. He just needs to defend Nintendo being pro censorship in hopes that people buy the censored $80 games.
>>744758919there is a difference in importance between Masha and Pyra/Mithra. best you can say is "they are not ideologically inherently opposed to fanservice and will throw it as a bone to their fans if they feel generous". or even more likely, "they used fanservice and appealing designs to gain money and notoriety, and are now stripping it away because they don't need it anymore". its a shame that the modern climate makes creators ashamed of fanservice and only turn to it out of desperation. you can expect XB2 level fanservice again when they run out of money and clout
>>744759037and then sony pissed it all away, pushing monster hunter into nintendo's arms and killing their entire handheld line through a mix of no games and pure evil greed
An actual good video on what makes a Nintendo Direct good? There’s many different factors.
>>744758531Not true, the phat DS was doing slightly better than the PSP looking at global sales (ahead in North America and Japan, losing to the PSP in Europe). When the DS Lite came out however it would crush the PSP in all 3 regions.
>>744759223>it's not just NintendoIt's not Nintendo at all. IGN is trolling for clicks>everything is like thisNah. Gaming is better than ever.
>>744758919>I don't think XB2 is on the same level of ecchi as get banned from steamTo be fair I don't think it is either, but you never really know where the line is until your game is banned and that leads publishers and devs to make ultra-safe decisions and designs.>Xenoblade isn't AAAIt's significantly higher budget than the kind of typical Vita fanservice game that used to be relatively common pre-COVID, and had much more risque designs than the average AAA game of the time. Sure we can split hairs over terminology, but the point is that you almost never see fanservice-y designs from higher-budget Japanese games any more let alone freaking Nintendo the "family-friendly" guys, and even the lower-budget ones that used to be super ecchi on the Vita and PS3 are now only on Xenoblade 2's level at best. A lot of things happened.
>>744759245Luckily Sony seems to be getting punished for their greed. Hopefully the same happens to Nintendo.
>>744758531>forget the DS was getting its ass kicked by the PSPThis never happened
>>744759349>Nintendo has FORGOTTEN Mario
>>744758919>>744759530XB2 wouldn't get banned on steam because its popular and fans could easily harass steam. if you have a game with a similar amount of ecchi but its unknown then you will just get fucked
>>744740297wii was a great gamecube desu
>>744759535where is this greed I keep seeing the cult scream about? is it charging full price for some games? because sony has been doing that for years, so has PC, sony is only getting worse now charging $100 up to $150 for games that will still be flooded with MTX shit
>>744759535I wouldn't count on it. That would require Nintendo being greedy.
>>744759670>>744759785>increasing your games by $20 to $80 for the base game in a single generation isn't greedy>selling 14 year old games at full price isn't greedy>having the worst sales in the industry isn't greedy>having day one disc locked content with amiibo DOES NOT count as microtransactionsYour both parodies of a human being. Have some fucking shame.
just looked into this 2k27 $150 ultra edition these bums don't even pretend to call yearly releases new games they're "builds" LMOA
>>744759906You're*Whoops
>>744759906>>increasing your games by $20 to $80 for the base game in a single generation isn't greedyCorrect, their margins shrank which justifies price increases. They're not needlessly increasing prices, they're actually losing more money than last gen due to rapidly rising tech prices. >>selling 14 year old games at full price isn't greedyYou own them.>having the worst sales in the industry isn't greedyAnd now I'm certain you're just a troll>having day one disc locked content with amiibo DOES NOT count as microtransactionsYup, you're a troll
>>744740174>genre-defining innovation of the GameCubePhantasy Star Online? But I thought this thread was about zelda? Nintedbros???
>>744760047Absolutely pathetic goy.
>>744758531PSP was saved by Monster Hunter games in Japan.In the west, it was the portable console for hoodrats, with most of them playing the same 3 titles like GTA, God of War and Need for Speed. It was a massive flop because the people were just playing it for the same 4 or 5 games in both fronts, and that wasn't gonna last forever.
>>744760130You'll survive champ
>>744760047Satoru Iwata is rolling in his grave right now.
>>744759906>charging $80 for a game then locking all the customization behind the $100 deluxe edition isn't greedy though
>>744760185He'll survive.
>>744760345Not anymore...
>>744760185Nah, he's looking up from the afterlife at the cattle his company cultivated and probably wishes he was alive to benefit from it.
>>744760416Good to know.
>>744759349>retardolandNo thanks, faggot.
>>744746072I'm surprised people still buy nuFE games. FE hasnt done anything good since Awakening and even that one was a stretch. 3H art direction was nothing but slop, not worth remembering. Engage looked like Unity engine vomit and this upcoming garbage looks even worse than 3Houses
>>744760185Iwata was probably the single most vocal man at Nintendo about the whole value thing, he didn't like dropping the price of games or consoles. There are several interviews/shareholder meetings where he has expressed this.https://www.gamesindustry.biz/iwata-slams-unhealthy-software-price-reductions
>>744760914Non-tendies know how greedy they are. I don't understand how they try to defend Nintendo as not being incredibly fucking jewish. Didn't they coin the term 'respect the value'?
>>744760989>only brand that lets you own your games>greedHow does Sony and Valve get a free pass in your book for publishing media that can't be owned, just because it's cheaper for the publisher, and that somehow isn't greed?
>>744760989I know, Nintendo needs to make their products cheaper so third worlders can buy them too. They also need to remove gameplay and add more cutscenes so people who watch games on youtube and twitch can get more enjoyment out of them.Nintendo is so backwards, why do they only make games for people with money? Do they want to go out of business?
>>744752838Tale as old as time.
>sony and valve out of no whereKek that’s when you know they’re fuming
>can't answer the question
>>744760914>he didn't like dropping the price of games or consolesI don't think that's entirely accurate given Nintendo under his watch did official price drops like the Selects line. His argument there is that if the price regularly drops too soon after release then people will just wait to buy a game with fewer and fewer people showing up for a game's launch, which is technically true given how things like Steam sales work. That said, the retailers did price drops according to market demands, so Iwata was still wrong in his assertion anyway. Games that dipped in price did so because they weren't selling, and games that weren't selling were often of lower quality. Kind of a weird thing for Iwata to care about when Nintendo games hardly dropped in price even in the used market due to the perceived quality being good enough to keep them up.
>>744761457You’ll survive.
>>744743427While mostly correct, buzzwords are used to express emotions that people have no otherwise means of putting into words. Like if someone says a game is "soulless", then what did they really mean by that? What part of the game are they criticizing? Like if we take the brief snippet by IGN in the OP, the author is criticizing Nintendo for not taking a more experimental approach in game design for their flagship franchises, and instead relying on nostalgia to promote success. Ninty has said before that remakes are a great way to get new people interested in older franchises, but it's a fair criticism to make too, because for older fans these remakes are largely just the same game they've played for decades and don't satisfy their craving for novelty.
>>744761147What free pass did I give anyone? Why are you mentioning something that hasn’t even happened yet to justify something that’s been happening for years? You can pirate games on PC and never even need to download steam. How does that excuse Nintendo being greedy jews for years?Fanboys need to be shot and killed. I wonder if jews feel this same type of revulsion whenever a goy speaks to them.
>>744740174Nintendo lost its soul with the first Switch. They made a deal with the devil to stop losing money.
>>744761659Hey thanks! I appreciate it ^_^
>>744761962Sorry but your only reply was wasted here >>744761412
>>744761481Nintendo under Iwata did a lot of price drops but it was primarily out of necessity, Gamecube had a bunch of price drops and the player's choice line because it never sold well, the Wii had it's own price drops and revisions when the fad around it started to die in the early 2010s, the 3DS and Wii U are rather infamous for Nintendo dropping the prices and having deals throughout their lives. But the DS never got a player's choice or Nintendo Selects line likely because it was always extremely successful and they never needed to boost sales like that. Also you could definitely find used Nintendo stuff for cheap back in the mid 2000s when that article was written, it was a very different time before things like ebay and pricecharting nowadays everyone "knows what they have", I genuinely think one of the reasons why Nintendo games can keep their value so damn well now is because the retro collector market has raised the prices of all their old stuff so high that everything being $60 seems reasonable.
>>744761962>starts spastically sealioning when pressed
More snoyjeet seething
>>744761965Actually they regained their soul as sony was simultaneously losing theirs which is why they were able to easily regain the market from Sony.
>>744762323The 3ds was successful and had the selects line.Nintendo just knows that nowadays it has cultists that will carry water for them for free. One of those cattle a few posts earlier is happy that his company's toys cost more than the competitions, to no benefit to himself.
If there is one criticism towards modern Nintendo I have it's that they aren't making "boy" games anymoreAll their output lately is aimed at women or a unisex audience.
>>744762702Xenoblade 2 was one of the last of such games and what do you know, it's being discussed heavily in this thread. It really feels like around the turn of the decade (and arguably earlier for western games), making and marketing games primarily or solely to straight nerdy men became verboten.
>>744762323To elaborate on the retro game prices benefiting Nintendo here are some examples, before TTYD HD came out copies of the original for Gamecube were going for absurdly high prices like uaround $100, in that case $60 for a copy of the Switch remake seems like a no-brainer even if it is a mostly 1-1 remake of a 20 year old game and a similar case goes for FRLG earlier this year. A physical copy of FRLG goes for over $100 so while $20 might seem absurd for a GBA game it is still cheaper than getting an original cartridge.>>7447625593DS was about half as successful as the DS or the Switch, and that's with much more aggressive discounts/price drops compared to the DS.
>>744762938>3DS was about half as successful as the DS or the SwitchAt the time the Switch didn't exist and the 3ds was several more times more successful than the Wii U. And despite that they still did the selects because they weren't nearly as jewish.
>>744742947>Fire Emblem Fortunes Nigger Worship looks greatlol sure it does Bingtendo cultist cockroach
>CULTIST! YOU'RE A CULTIST!>t.Shitposters aren't doing well lately.
Blue blue, lagoon blue
>>744763305You're either retarded or being obtuse, just because the 3DS didn't outright fail like the Wii U didn't mean it was a huge success. The system stumbled right out of the gate and they had to drop the price and give the ambassador's program to early adopters as an apology, even in it's prime the 3DS was never as popular as what came before or after and so Nintendo was forced to do things like Nintendo Selects to drive sales.
>>744763590Tendies defended troons and diversity yesterday because the new fire emblem is full of them. They're a lot like the miggers in a way in that their stance on anything is as flexible as the cult leader needs it to be.
