At first i thought this dysfunctional human being wasn't aware that RE4 was originally released all the way back in 2005, way too early to be considered Trump propaganda, but then, i started reading, and...



So, somehow this person has been familiar with the game since it came out, but somehow wasn't aware the game takes place in rural Europe, yeah i call bullshit



> Mexicans
> Brown skinned

They were Spaniards and they looked pretty white to me, you know... it's funny because this article doesn't seem to mention anything else beyond the village, the first third of the game, no mention about the castle, where the most common enemy type were pale skinned monks or the island where the only brown skinned enemy was J.J. a ganado armed with a gatling gun serving as a mini boss

I flat out refuse to believe this fucker has played RE4, at most, they only read couple of wikipedia articles and watched gameplays featuring the earlier areas of the game

Ummm I think you’ve been pranked. Reading through the person’s articles she appears to be a troll

 

[CheezzyMach]

Saw that..
Safe to say I am interested. I will add it to my games for PS5 list. There is also Subnautica, which is like a horror version of EO.

Anyway, that is definitely a PS5 game for me. I can add it to my PS4 backwards capability titles along with Nier and Dreams.


Yeah, the lack of variety is bad in this fandom. I think the worst is when you have people like Josh who say they will play 3rd party, but it is only Nintendo-like experiences? They want the games to feel like Nintendo, but never explain what that means. Then you see what they will not play and it makes no sense.

They hate Crash and Sonic even though they are cartoony platformers like Mario. Anything that looks like NES pixel art is bad. Nintendo exclusives like Bayonetta are too adult, ironic as they promote Nintendo being the opposite. Realism is bad. I just cannot get a read on what they would like?


Shantae and Banjo? They promote Shantae as being huge when you can barely find a person who plays the games, and Banjo is very specifically a relic of 90s gaming if you had an N64, you know, the console that lost to the PS1 big time.


Honestly do not enjoy handheld mode. It is nice on the occasional trip, but that is about it.

Personally I think the N64 was only a success because of how badly Sega fucked the Saturn in the West * America and Europe specifically * In Japan Sega and Sony dominated while the N64 was a footnote.

I've always wondered if the Saturn hadn't been botched if the N64 would have been the black swan that killed Nintendo like the 32X/Saturn did Sega. or if Pokemon would have saved them while Sega's infamous corporate idiocy still killed them even though they had two sales powerhouses.

It's possible, but that's the problem with Poe's Law. There used to be Nintendo communities like this, and some of what I saw wouldn't be out of place in the Moviebob thread. (He thinks the Nintendo-Sega console war was his generations Vietnam.) It's possible they're all trolls playing the long game, but I doubt it.


With the Nintendo leaks happening, there seems to be a few Nintendo fans claiming the leaks are illegal or are hurting Nintendo, but I think I've heard about it happening more than I've seen it. The modern vintage gamer said it, but according to the comments that was just a disclaimer so his video doesn't get taken down.

 

[BananaSplit]

How has the Nintendo fanbase reacted to Dragon Quest XI S being ported on everything other system? That was the sole game on Switch that truly interested me because all the changes and QoL improvements has made the original version on PS4/PC looks like a chinese bootleg in comparison. Kinda shitty from Square-Enix to make the japanese text in DQ11S only available for japanese Steam users however

I do remember the fans claiming it was impossible for the game to be ported elsewhere because "daddy Nintendo paid for it".

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

I haven't been following the Nintendo fan response to DQXI S, but I've seen plenty of PC/PS4 fans saying it's bullshit they can't just download a cheap upgrade patch funny enough.

I've had a few youtubers pop up in my feed bitching about Paper Mario. How many fucking times does Nintendo have to do this shit before they fucking learn and stop buying Paper Mario day 1?

 

[ducktales4gameboy]

The really irritating thing about Paper Mario was that it leaked a week early and the cat got out of the bag several days before release about how it falls apart as a game past the first couple hours, but as usual Nintendo fans have no intererst in spoilers and leaks that go against the holy doctrine of Nintendo doing no wrong and cannot accept a game being merely 'okay' rather than the best thing ever.

Origami King has a strange way of acknowledging fan demand but executing it in unsatisfying ways like with the partners.
I'd say they're aware of what the fans want but are just too stubborn to really give in and for god knows what reason want to stick to modern Paper Mario as some puzzle gimmick experimentation ground.

This is really the killer though. If you see any given screenshot of Origami King without having any context about the game itself it looks like a proper rpg but every single mechanic has some sort of monkey's paw drawback that makes it unfun to deal with.

 

[Never Scored]

I feel like there were two waves of Nintendo fans. There are people like me in their late 30s and early 40s who grew up with the NES and SNES who like older style games and arcade games and there is a younger generation who grew up with the Gamecube, DS and Wii who are into stuff like Pokemon. My theory is the latter ones are the ones super into the Switch. I don't know anyone my age who owns one. Everyone I know in their late 30/40s just plays old shit or plays new shit on a PC.

I remember the consensus being that everyone hated Mario Sunshine and everyone wanted an actual Mario game when it came out. I was 18 or 19 at the time. I was looking for Mario World in 3D. Apparently the Switch crowd loves that horseshit where you walk around and talk to people and collect stuff. I got a Switch in 2018 and basically played Sonic Mania and that was it. Everything is either a port of something I played five years ago on Wii U, a port of something I played ten years ago for PC, a faggy hipster indie game or something I personally find appallingly retarded like Mario Odyssey, where you just walk around aimlessly collecting moons and costumes and stuff and you can't die.

When we finally got Mario World in 3D on Wii U, it sold like shit, but I actually think it's the best 3D Mario game ever made. James Rolfe AKA the Angry Video Game Nerd is just a couple years older than me and he really liked it too. It sold terrible though, so there probably aren't a lot of fans of old school late 80s early 90s Nintendo left.

Personally I think the N64 was only a success because of how badly Sega fucked the Saturn in the West * America and Europe specifically * In Japan Sega and Sony dominated while the N64 was a footnote.

I've always wondered if the Saturn hadn't been botched if the N64 would have been the black swan that killed Nintendo like the 32X/Saturn did Sega. or if Pokemon would have saved them while Sega's infamous corporate idiocy still killed them even though they had two sales powerhouses.

I don't think so here's why(Autism about 1990s gaming industry incoming):

1) Sega of America catered the Genesis to western audiences, the was Sonic Saturday morning and an after school cartoon marketed directly to western children. Sega of America injected 1990s Western culture into the Genesis US marketing to the point of saturation. That wasn't happening with the extremely Japanese Sega Saturn. Even if the 32X never launched and pissed off consumers and Sega never pissed off retailers with the surprise launch of Saturn, people in North America were not going to buy Panzer Dragoon Saga. Even without Sega's corporate idiocy, people were not buying the Saturn in the West unless Sega made an effort to actively cater to them.

Look at this list of best selling PS1 games. Look at the names that pop up again and again in the top 20, Gran Turismo, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider. True Final Fantasy is in there, but that's mostly based on Japanese sales where nearly half of all copies were sold. You look at a game like Crash Bandicoot and it only sold around a half million copies in Japan, and seemingly sold upwards of five million copies in North America alone. That's not to say that Final Fantasy didn't sell well in the West, it's just clearly not what was pushing sales of the system to the general population.

2) Nintendo didn't have much of a drop off in popularity in the west until Gamecube. The PS1 doubled the N64 in North America, but Nintendo only saw around a 15% drop in North American sales from SNES to N64. Like you said, Japan is where PS1 really beat the shit out of N64, but it gets forgotten that it was actually quite popular and competitive in the west. It's not like the Nintendo 64 went into this tiny hole Sega left open; It had a third of the North American home console market.

3) The N64 was by far the most successful console from the fifth generation from a financial perspective. Look at this list of top 20 N64 games and compare it to the PS1 list from eariler. 17 of them were published by Nintendo. Only half of the top 20 PS1 list was published by Sony if you count Final Fantasy. Nintendo cleaned up with software sales. Despite only doing 32% of the worldwide console sales that Sony did, Nintendo's top ten games, all published by Nintendo besides Diddy Kong Racing which was published by a company Nintendo owned half of using a Nintendo character, the N64's top ten selling games shipped around 80% as many units as the PS1's top ten best sellers. An analogy: If we have two pizzas, one is 9" across and the other is 12" across and I get the entire 9" pizza to myself while you have to share the 12" pizza with a bunch of other people, I'm getting more pizza in the end despite the fact that the pizza I started with was smaller.

4) Gameboy was selling well and the tech in it was so old, it basically had a Z80 processor which had been around since the late 1970s, each unit costed virtually nothing to produce.

I feel like I'm more in the middle of these two groups. I like the older side of nintendo more which I feel ends after the gamecube for me, the snes and n64 era is my favorite, but I can appreciate their newer stuff as well. Over all i'm just happy to chill with some nintendo games.

 

[CheezzyMach]

Good Points

Well when I said Sega doesn't botch the Saturn I wasn't just talking about the early launch or even the 32X debacle. But also the lack of a Sonic game at launch. * I've said before that I think where SEGA really fucked up was not having a new Sonic game ready at or near the launch when Mario alone sold the SNES and N64 * Granted it's a 50/50 toss up whether SOJ could be convinced a new Sonic game should take priority in the West over VF or even if the new Sonic game would be any good.* the 32X's flagship Sonic game was Knuckles' Chaotix after all which without the 32X probably would have hit Saturn instead *

I was so hyped for Sonic Xtreme. Even if it was complete shit it would have pushed a million more Saturns minimum just by existing.

This is sorta true, I actually believe you can split up the eras into 3. There are the NES and SNES crowd, comprised of people like MovieBob or 03BGood, who are repulsed by newer games as gaming will never be as good as it was in the 80s. You then have the new version of the NES crowd with the N64 and GameCube. These fans praise the two systems, primarily GameCube, to high heaven and will attack anything made after. This category includes people like TheBitBlock, kinda Arlo, Paper Mario fans, Melee fans, Double Dash fans, etc.. To them, the GameCube was the last great console. While they used to like the Wii U and Wii, since the Switch came, they have turned their backs on those consoles and said they ruined Nintendo. The 3rd group would be Wii, DS and beyond. In saying this, there could be another division as the Wii U is gaining that DreamCast status as some great console of its time that was overlooked. The Wii and DS will likely never have a division against Switch though.

I remember the consensus being that everyone hated Mario Sunshine and everyone wanted an actual Mario game when it came out. I was 18 or 19 at the time. I was looking for Mario World in 3D.

I love both if I am being honest. 3D World was an overlooked gem and Odyssey was overall a breath of fresh air in the sea of New Super Mario Bros. art direction. 3D World and Odyssey are just very different games, heck Odyssey and 64/Sunshine are different. Odyssey feels like the Mario equivalent to BOTW, a huge open-world game that prioritizes exploration over platforming, and rewards movement. 3D World is a simple platformer with great level design. I also think getting rid of lives is fine, even in 3D World, losing all did nothing, so if there is no longer consequences, why have them.

Also, relating to above, people are ripping into Odyssey now as it is not a true Mario game. It plays differently from Sunshine and 64, so now that audience is creeping out to kill the title for not being the same. This community does not know what it wants, so I would take the bashing of 3D World less seriously.

When we finally got Mario World in 3D on Wii U, it sold like shit, but I actually think it's the best 3D Mario game ever made.

Ehhh...
The Wii U sold poorly, so not many copies got out.
The game’s success is also not indicative of the fanbase being gone. Many of those late 80s and early 90s fans hate all things modern or 3D, they would have never bought it.

honestly i could see 3D World being repackaged for the switch about as much as I could see the wii u TP/WW remasters being repackaged.

There's something about Wii U. I didn't really play many games made after 2005 or so, but I bought a Wii U because I thought 3D World looked really cool and I burned through the whole library of first party titles. It felt like there was this energy to the games they made around that time that they hadn't had for a long time and they lost it right after. Maybe a combination of trying to turn the system around creating that energy and Iwata dying killing it.

I'm just not a huge fan of the open world stuff. Obviously Mario 64 knocked me on my ass when it came out, and I like a few things like Elder Scrolls, but in general I like not thinking too much.

 

[-4ZURE-]

honestly i could see 3D World being repackaged for the switch about as much as I could see the wii u TP/WW remasters being repackaged.

Other than DKCTF, 3D World was the most deserving of a port. Both it and Donkey Kong were highlights of the platform. It is depressing that NSMBU got ported before 3D World. I do not mind most Wii U ports, but some really did not need to happen while others should. I am glad Hyrule Warriors, DKCTF, and Pokken got some more life, but Captain Toad, and especially NSMBU really did not need to be there. Xenoblade X and 3D World deserved the ports more.

I honestly look at the Wii U pretty poorly, but certain developers really gave it their all. I feel that Smash and Mario Kart were as half-baked as you could get and felt completely sterile in comparison to previous entries. Mario Tennis, Color Splash, Amiibo Festival, New Super Mario Bros U, and Mario Party 10 were just blatant cash grabs with not much thought or effort. However, 3D World, DKCTF, Bayonetta 2, Nintendo Land, Xenoblade X, Pokken, Splatoon, and Hyrule Warriors were all filled with passion. The console feels like a double-edged sword of terrible and greatness. The Switch is better, but to me it has the same issues. BOTW, Odyssey, Three Houses, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Xenoblade 1 + 2, Splatoon 2, ARMS, and others seem so full of ambition, probably even more than the Wii U. The killers are titles like Aces, which are just, incomplete or lack ambition. Even Smash, while better, still feels like another entry instead of something special.

I'm just not a huge fan of the open world stuff. Obviously Mario 64 knocked me on my ass when it came out, and I like a few things like Elder Scrolls, but in general I like not thinking too much.

That is fine. As an open-world title Odyssey is great and a fun new direction. I just hate how many are trying to compare it to entries it is different from. It is a fine game, even if one does not get the appeal.

Anyways, Xenoblade X probably won't get ported for a year or so, if it ever does.

I disagree on Mario Kart because I liked that one. I had no interest in and didn't even play Smash Bros, Mario Tennis, Color Splash, Amiibo Festival, Mario Party 10, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade X, Pokken, Splatoon, or Hyrule Warriors . None of those appeal to me personally at all. What I did like was 3D World, the NES Remix games, Game & Wario(Which I got for free), BOTW (Another exception to my dislike for open world stuff), Nintendoland, Mario Maker, Pikmin 3, DKCTF and the HD Wind Waker remake, and a scattered few 3rd party games like Unepic, Shovel Knight and the Duck Tales remake.

That is fine. As an open-world title Odyssey is great and a fun new direction. I just hate how many are trying to compare it to entries it is different from. It is a fine game, even if one does not get the appeal.

Do a lot of people hate it now? It seemed like everyone was masturbating over it when it came out and I was just here going, "Really? You want this in a Mario game?" Those N64 collectathons were the bane of my existence back in the late 90s, and it feels like a retread of those. I was never a big fan of Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64 or any of that shit either.

 

[-4ZURE-]

I honestly forgot that we got all the Bayonetta ports to the switch.

I think most did. If I am not mistaken they were an early 2018 release with not much fan-fare. I guess it is nice to have them though as Bayonetta 3 is said to be a major title.

Anyways, Xenoblade X probably won't get ported for a year or so, if it ever does.

I am kinda feeling that it is not coming, same with 3D World. It has been so long, and Nintendo has slowed down ports completely since NSBU in early 2019. I hope for them as I am just getting into Xenoblade with Definitive Edition and 3D World is so good and would love them to add on with a new character and levels.

I'm honestly more interested to see if we get a Capcom versus game for the switch.

There was once a rumor about an actual good version of Marvel vs Capcom Infinite coming to Switch. I hope a MvC game comes and actually has a good roster this time. They should just drop the story mode and focus on characters. Would love to see Viewtiful Joe return and Phoenix Wright. My only problem with the rumor is that it was speculated a year ago and Capcom has not had a versus title on Nintendo since 2008’s Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

I disagree on Mario Kart because I liked that one.

The courses were great, but the roster and battle mode were something left to be desired till Deluxe.

Splatoon, or Hyrule Warriors

These two are actually great and I would highly recommend. I was not a fan of the genres till after.
The only thing is, I would buy the Switch versions as Splatoon 2 is way better than 1 and Hyrule Warriors has all the 3DS content on Switch. I would also recommend Fire Emblem Warriors over Hyrule as it is way more balanced, but Hyrule will likely do more for you as a fan of Zelda.

i think pre-covid there was some fanfare for a 3d world port to the switch bc of the Mario anniversary.

well, here's to waiting for that.

Nintendo does realize that they can easily bloat up their eshop with HD ports or w/e of games from the 3ds/wii u/DS/etc. and it'd still sell like hotcakes? Just imagine a port of the 3ds samus returns game on the switch. It's probably sell well.

 

[Never Scored]

and battle mode

Oh yeah, I agree they fucked that up. I don't know what they were thinking. I thought the regular courses had some of the best design in the series and made up for it.

I may check them out at some point. My Switch has been collecting dust for literally years at this point and I've just been playing old Playstation 1 shit like Tomba, Crash Bandicoot, SOTN and Klonoa for the last year or so.

They've never realized it. That's why they only made like seven NES minis when they first launched. They've had this problem for decades now.
