Yeah I'll just stick to my actual cart for as long as it continues to hold out. Especially since N64 emulation generally fucking sucks, especially for Paper Mario. Even the previous Virtual Console releases ran like shit compared to the real deal.
They fucked up Advance Wars too. Days of Ruin managed to kill the franchise entirely.
That seems to be the general consensus but I only ever played Days of Ruin, and I enjoyed it well enough. The more cartoony looking games never interested me. Still, seems like 3-0. What else do they make and ruin?
They are, although I don't know much about Fire Emblem as I never tried that series out, so I have no frame for its decline.
Around 80% of their games were exclusive to Japan and some of them was an limited release. When they made it to the west, the only marketing that they got was "Marth was in Smash!" The only time that they were serious about the brand was with Awakening, which was scheduled to be the last game in the series.
Bug Fables started off cool, but the characters are unlikable and it's not always clear where to go. It's also too easy or impossible, depending on your settings, definitely could have used more balance.
IS problem is it's being led around by people who don't know or care about their work. Fire Emblem was told to fucking sell because nobody wanted the DS games, so they just threw marketable things at the wall like Waifus and that mode from Pokemon where you pet the animal, Advance wars strangely had the weird as fuck issue of not selling in Japan despite never being released outside of it until a day before 9/11, so they had to rely on the west for sales and it didn't really pan out, and Paper Mario is just Nintendo mandates(can't have unique personality for the toads and party members because they don't want anyone fucking with the brand, so now here's Bob-omb the Bob-omb and the same handful of toads everywhere, Miyamoto saw nobody complimented Super Paper Mario for the story, so throw that in the trash, etc.) ruining it for the rest of us.
I wish i could remember better, but i remember Days of Ruin kind of rolls back a few of the things the last 3 games did, like CO powers. It's really not terrible, but the downward trend was enough to convince them to stop.
Oh I really thought that was Alice from Monster Girl Quest for a moment.
I'm pretty sure that'll trigger Null if I changed it to that.
Bug Fables reeks of furry autism from a mile away (Instead of bipedal mammals, we have insects who have OwO faces).
It took me a while to figure out what I hated about the Bug game. And it's the outlines. They're too thick compared to Paper Mario's graphics and they're around everything.
>They won't play the indie game because the outlines are too thick and the ui is too simple
