Sure, Nintendo is quality with their games, and both east and west divisions are even cool with employees and do not enforce bullshit tactics towards the workers unlike EA, ActiBlizz, Squeenix, Ubi, Capcom, 2K, etc.

That said, even with those merits, they're still very controlling with corporate decisions as with any big name company. My point being whenever Nintendo does something completely fucked up, its fans will bitch and moan, but then when the company reveals something just as stupid, like Labo (a literal cartboard box) for nearly $300, some character gets in Smash for DLC, when a Mario movie drops, etc., they get excited and forget about the whole thing they were ranting about. It's an endless cycle that repeats itself over and over.

That's my point here. Nintendo may be the lesser of evils in comparison to Sony and Microsoft in terms of games and working conditions and such, but they still do shitty tactics like with any other company.

Still pretty annoyed about the manufacturing defects with their analog sticks. I don't understand why so many others are not. It is one of the most egregious issues of any of the console manufacturers just about ever.

I'm thinking back to the days of SEGA to even come close; and making too many hardware variants is a far cry from outright releasing a faulty product.

Oh also I still think there will be more for Smash. Hope upon hope.

To be fair, both of these are stuff that's worth experiencing; but like their heavily autistic fanbase, Nintendo hasn't really changed that much in the past 20+ years. Only thing that's new is that they have more means to convince people to immediately buy their shit.

Nintendo is a 200 year old country. it has lived through many fads, and actively resists the Woke agenda so much they forced the producers for the mario movie to rewite it or lose the contract. It has never forced lootboxes or other pay-to-win shit on it's customers, and when it tried it it tried it with entirely new IP like Badge Arcade or that baseball game that were allowed to thrive or die on their own merits.

GOOD, shit I buy as a Luxury probably shouldn't change all that much aside form incremental improvements. I can't buy a JRPG without it having some autistic gimmick attached that actively makes it worse now because the same Faggot Journalists we all hate now convinced the industry that "JRPGS NEED TO ABANDON THE THINGS THAT MAKE THEM JRPGS CAUSE REASONS."

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are worse than the classic Zelda games, I don't hate them but they took the series from great to Average Open World Slop.

So you're purposely ignoring all the mobile shit Nintendo has released that has said pay-to-win shit?

I think his point is that it's never been directly shoved into their AAA releases, but yeah I agree that discounting all the mobile shit is retarded
Thank god the scummy practices stay there, but that doesn't make them okay

...tbh I forgot they existed. I tried out a couple of them but had no interest. But they have never done so for their main releases on their consoles or handhelds.

plus they have largely been abandoned so seems Nintendo isn't likely to expand on the pay to win bullshit.
 
Most of Nintendo's mobile efforts have completely fizzled out and weren't that successful, partially because Nintendo were hesitant to embrace the pay-to-win way of doing business that mobile games live and die on. The only one that enjoyed any real success was that Fire Emblem Heroes game, partially because it was a waifu gacha simulator. Even Dragalia Lost, Nintendo's only wholly original mobile property, has been sunsetted.

Well keep into consideration that Nintendo is the equivalent of that of an overly concerned parent that gives love to a child, but yet way, way too much.

Considering Nintendo will have a big role in my children's lives, I'm ok with that. Nintendo-O-kāsan can be overbearing for the kids.

Here's the lil secret most people don't want to admit: all sticks being used by console manufacturers right now are utter dogshit. The Switch uses the same ministick type as the Vita and they both have the same exact issues with accuracy slip, and the PS/Xbox controllers have been plagued by accuracy slip even though they're the standard stick size type (moreso on the Sony end of things, wonder if they fell back to crappy Korean suppliers like they did during the PS2 and 3). Something happened in the past 10 to 15 years where stick build quality fell down a chasm, but because Nintendo's in the same position as Apple as the major face of an entire industry people use them as the goto example for two minutes hate.

I think it's just a gigantic dip in quality when it comes to manufactured tech and electronics in general. I forgot what the exact term for it was called, but manufacturers only build things to last until the next new thing is released in the following year or two.

Lenovo used to be well known for their laptops for businesses. Back then they were built like a suitcase and you can drop them off of the roof of your building and it would still work. Now they're all made VERY cheaply with chink parts for the keyboards and just about everything else to where you can zap fry one easily just by plugging something into the USB port.

I agree here
Ironically, I actually think video game consoles have it the easiest in this department

PLing a little to explain my perspective: I moved houses 5 years ago, and the house we moved into had fancy, upper middle-class, brand-new tech everywhere when we moved. In that time, of everything we had...
  • Our fridge broke
  • Our washing machine broke
  • Our drier broke twice
  • Our dishwasher broke twice
  • Our fridge's freezer broke thrice and it's still having issues with keeping cool
And in terms of individuals: my mother's on her third computer since moving, my brother on his second, my sister's only laptop broke during covid and both of my siblings have gone through at least 5 pairs of headphones each. Granted, these things weren't nearly as fancy as the appliances, but a lot of them broke barely a year after their warranties expired and those that didn't often broke due to light tumbles or (in one case, where the breaking wasn't related to the manufacturer) a fist to the keyboard.

I've been lucky that the only thing i've lost so far was a pair of bluetooth headphones, and when that happened I just returned to using the older model of the same pair that I got 7 years ago that still works just fine.

Considering the timing of everything breaking, I'm more willing to believe the conspiracies about companies specifically designing things to fail and perpetuating planned obsolescence than not, and the fact that my game consoles have remained almost entirely untouched throughout (ESPECIALLY the older ones, those could take a missile to the face and still live) makes me all the more convinced.

This same shit is also why I think Nintendo will never fix the Switch's joy-cons, nor will any other company do something about their terrible manufacturing. Regardless of the quality, they're making bank off this stuff- Nintendo especially. The fact that not even increased scrutiny has done anything other than elicit a half-hearted apology from them only makes me even more certain.

That literally happened to an ASUS ROG laptop of mine a few years ago. It was only two and a half years old, and I used my extended warranty already on its broken hinge. I plugged a MicroUSB reader into the USB-C port, the screen flashed white, and then it never powered up again. Couldn't even make it to POST. A thousand dollar laptop, just, fuckin' gone. Last time I'm ever buying anything from ASUS.

I've had a lot of random things just croak on me over the past few years. A coffee maker, a New 3DS, a PS4, my last cell phone, and of course all sorts of small shit like USB-to-wall plugs and their cables.

Funny things is, I still own a Lenovo laptop. I completely had it fixed a couple years back.
