Nintendo Fanbase Stupidity General - Rants on the explosive fanbase

[Mr. 0]

Don't forget that time Hiroshi Yamauchi had Gunpei Yokoi murdered in broad daylight by a Yakuza hit squad.

Nintendo: success or death.

that was a happy accident

that side of the world isn't exactly renown for its driving skills (or their skills in making driving fun, otherwise people wouldn't put team sonic racing over mario kart)

Do dumb niggers dont understand that xeno 3 and kirby are developed by external developers?
Just because they help nintendo once a in a while doesnt mean they are owned by them, hell, hal lab has released a few multiplatform games

A lot of Nintendo's first-party offerings on Switch were created by external teams and through various partnerships, as revealed by basic internet researches:
-Luigi's Mansion 3 and the recent Mario Strikers are developed by Next Level Games.
-The Famicom Detective remakes were done by Mages. (formerly 5pb, which were behind Steins;Gate and Memories Off, among many other japanese adventure titles).
-Buddy Mission Bond is from Ruby Party (a dev team, under Koei-Tecmo, known in Japan for the Angelique game serie).
-The musou/warriors games using the Zelda and Fire Emblem IPs were co-developed by Omega Force (also under Koei-Tecmo).
-Astral Chain is by Platinum
-Bandai Namco Studios were behind New Pokemon Snap & Pokken Tournament. They also co-developed ARMS, Smash Bros Ultimate and Mario Kart 8.

Like said earlier, fanboys should really stop treating game companies like omnipotent single beings.

Nintendo is objectively Jesus Christ though.

Remember that time the Pokemon developers developed a game for PS3/360/Steam, and Sega published it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tembo_the_Badass_Elephant I'm sure there's some salt to be found from when that game was new.

They also released a new IP in the form of a music game called Harmoknight

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HarmoKnight

Although that was just a 3DS exclusive. It also had Pokemon songs as secret stages.

Kinda pissed they never made a sequel. Game is pretty kick-ass, although the timing is a bit strict.

In an unrealistic pipedream, Nintendo would have unlimited amount of competent employees being paid with huge amounts of money, and able to create a shitton of great games to all their available franchises (and I mean all even including very obscure ones such as say, Joy Mech Fight) and in that perfect world today we'd probably get like Metroid Prime 8 and maybe its 5th spinoff.

Realistically in the end Nintendo is just a game company and they are doing what they think gives profits to the company. There's tons of new games which are in development right now for Nintendo (which I hate that this obvious fact has to be brought up), and it also doesn't help that nowadays some of the stuff Nintendo put out are in incomplete states to be later fixed with free updates (looking at you, Mario spinoff games on the Nintendo Switch), and when you take all of this into account I don't know why these fanboys act as if Nintendo is ignoring them when there's so much shit going on and this is something not as simple as its fix being "just hire more staff".

Besides, Nintendo has been reviving some franchises here and there like giving remasters to some franchises like Advance Wars and even Famicom Detective Club and I don't even know why Metroid is brought into this conversation especially that we got the Metroid Samus Returns remake on the 3DS and Metroid Dread.

I'm of course obviously not saying that we should bootlick Nintendo for every single one of their decisions, I'm saying that there needs a line to be drawn between what is understandable and what isn't, and whining to Nintendo about why they are still making Kirby games is dumb.

I just don't think it'd kill them to remaster some games from dormant franchises, or do some more low-budget spinoffs like Hey Pikmin. Donkey Kong used to get a lot of spin-offs, even Metroid got a couple. Seems like Switch only has Mario, Kirby, and Pokemon spinoffs though. They're playing it really safe for some reason.

Hmmmm.... FE/Hyrule Warriors, and.... uhhh..... Cult of the Necrodancer and.... yeah okay, you got me. There isn't a lot of that on the Switch. But we've gotten so many main series entries, isn't that even better?

Those Warriors games were just Wii U/3DS ports, weren't they?

But yeah, I'm not complaining about the library too much. I think it could be better, but it's fine. If we can get a couple more franchises on it by the end of the Switch's lifespan then I'll consider it good.

The BotW prequel certainly wasn't, I think FE Warriors was a Switch original too.

Looks like I was a little off, like BotW it seems FEW was a simultaneous launch for 3DS and Switch (except BotW was for Wii U, not 3DS obviously). The first Hyrule Warriors was originally Wii U, but its sequel (and FEW's) were both Switch exclusives.

I have said it before, but I believe the main issue really is just that Nintendo has no idea how to operate certain franchises. This and a mix of reception.

DK and Metroid used to get spin offs in the 2000s, but that was a weird batch of circumstances. Metroid had Retro back then, who had a beyond fantastic grip of the franchise and shot Prime to being a Nintendo mainstay, but currently the company seems to be in financial hell, only recently getting back on their feet with Metroid Prime 4 being given to them. Their production times are also getting longer. The best Metroid had going for it in terms of spin-offs recently was Federation Force, which was a good game at the wrong time, and as such will likely never be pursued again.

DK got a ton of spin-offs because no one at Nintendo knew what to do with the IP post-Rare. In many ways, those spin-offs completely fucked the brand and its image. DK went from a juggernaut and the coolest video game protagonist rivaling Sonic in his prime to the literal ass of the Mario crew. It wasn’t till Retro that the series got the much needed kick in the ass to be respectable again. It also doesn’t help that his spin-offs were seen less than favorably, Konga and Barrel Blast in particular were massive subjects of mockery. While some like King of Swing and Jungle Beat are looked upon more favorably today, I just don’t think they are seen as worth pursuing again.

Honestly, I think we don’t give enough credit to how great of a company Retro was for Nintendo through the GC to Wii U eras. I think their absence has been well felt for Metroid and DK fans.

As for Hey Pikmin!, I remember that one being pretty hated. I also think that Pikmin is just astroturfed by Miyamoto, as it gets low sales but damn will Miyamoto never let it go. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pikmin was a series no one besides Miyamoto really wanted to direct. It is a hard series to work with as its gameplay is not easy to get into and the characters are not as memorably designed as most other Nintendo IP. I don’t think there is much room for the series to grow past its core. The failures of Hey Pikmin and Pikmin Bloom only seem to highlight that.

Great.

That's... yeah that's what I wanted.

Donkey Konga, oh boy. That was a terrible, terrible rhythm game, released right as rhythm games were just starting to get a foothold outside of Japan. Look at this terrible setlist, and think about how you had to clap along, because the bongos have a microphone.

Donkey Kong giving a creepy, very direct rape stare on the official artwork probably didn't help, either:



Come to think of it, I think Donkey Konga put me off of pretty much everything Donkey Kong going forward. I really liked the Donkey Kong Country games, but I didn't even bother checking out Returns or Tropical Sneeds.

That's a shame. The former is one of my all-time favorite Wii games and I thought Tropical Freeze was even better. I had a blast playing the latter for the first time last year. I'd highly recommend it.

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

this terrible setlist,

Shining Star - Earth, Wind & Fire

Sing, Sing, Sing (With A Swing) - Louis Prima

Rock Lobster - The B-52's

We Will Rock You - Queen

Whip It - Devo

Dancing in the Street - Martha and the Vandellas

>calling all of these classics "terrible"

Take that back, motherfucker.

Can concur on Tropical Freeze's awesomeness. Hard dong (especially for 100%), but good dong.

 

[Basic Blonde Boy]

That's pretty clever.

I actually took that line from King K’s video on Tropical Freeze. He had a long rant about the decline of DK during the GC and Wii and how Miyamoto and Nintendo made him into their vision of the character, which is nothing more than stupid monkey. It seems that DK went from the being cool in Country to a jack ass once Nintendo took him back.

Come to think of it, I think Donkey Konga put me off of pretty much everything Donkey Kong going forward. I really liked the Donkey Kong Country games, but I didn't even bother checking out Returns or Tropical Sneeds.

Personally, I know the Retro games are fantastic and really worth your time. I cannot compare them to the old, but I have seen some long time fans say Tropical Freeze may be above the OG trilogy. Retro really knocked it out of the park and revived DK in a similar vain to Metroid. The games are also pretty challenging.

As for DK’s portrayal, he is a bit of a mix in Retro’s titles. He still has the Nintendo dumb monkey character, but it feels more restrained. He is played to be a lot cooler in a more timeless sense than 90s. Retro also seemed to cut a lot of the fat of the old Country games as the cast has been boiled down to mainly the essentials. A lot of names like Tiny, Chunky, Lanky, Candy, etc. are gone. Personally, with the exclusion of K Rool, it was probably for the best to cut down the cast. I would have loved one more entry to cap off the trilogy with K Fool’s comeback and maybe one more Kong, but I do think Retro brought back a tight cast of the most popular.

Other than Retro’s titles, I enjoyed my bit with King of Swing on GBA as it was a weird yet fun title, and I know Jungle Beat is starting to gain some praise if you want to check those out.

Oh, well in that case, calling it terrible is totally justified.
