@GKO900 I agree, it seems at least really dumb and unnecessary, if not really insulting almost I would say. Laughable for sure.
"FULL USE of it"? LOL Somebody should call them and ask them to explain how can you put your jpg files in the album of the console without modding it in any way. LOL
Believe me, it is absolutely possible, but I don't think that they are going to explain that LOL.
The problem with video game addiction is that reality is bad, sad and painful and many of us don't like that, we want something better, and videogames are better. You can't get rid of addictions until you make reality MUCH more pleasant, sweet and better. And as much as you can create wonderful games, you have no control on how reality works and how much bad it is. Sorry.
@Alantor28 I have spent my money to buy the Switch at launch and for about one entire year they absolutely did not made it clear what they wanted to do with the online subscription (the only thing that was clear it was that you had to pay if you wanted to play online and I was like "Lol who cares? I hate online gaming anyway! Lol lol lol"), most of my all time favourite games are Nintendo games and I would like to continue playing their games (even if in my opinion their absolute best was during the Gamecube and Wii era, their games are still very good today even if not as good as they were back then imo) so I think I have 1) valid reasons and 2) lkegitimate rights to complain.
I am also boycotting them and not buying games that I would like to buy (like Smash Bros Ultimate for example) so I'm not just complaining, I am also doing something.
You can dislike what I say as much as you want but it is my right to complain, if you don't like it you can keep pulling 20$ out of your pocket to have the privilege to be mistreated by Nintendo every year. I don't approve that but at least I save my 20 euro to actually buy something better than that.
@Alantor28 yes of course I have problems. I have the problems Nintendo caused me (and every other customer as well) to make it look like things that should be available to everybody are a special bonus included in their subscription.
@Almighty-Koz my problem is with saves backups and virtual console games not available for purchase anymore but only playable with the subscription.
Multiplayer is garbage for my taste I don't care about it.
Nintendo is the only one that is trying to force me to pay to keep my save files backups and that is not allowing me to buy certain games.
On the other consoles this don't happen.
So if you really want to compare Nintendo to other consoles, Nintendo is worse, it is more unfair to its customers and this is something they never talked about before the launch. They made it seems like the online subscription was going to have exclusive bonuses while actually they just took away things that should be available for everybody to make them available only to subscribers.
This is not a bonus, this is treating customers like crap.
I loved Nintendo and hated computers before the Switch, but with the Switch they forced me to open my eyes about how exploitative consoles can become.
Believe me this is something I would have never wanted to understand back then. But now I think that in the end it is the better thing for me and for anybody else who don't want to become as helpless as one can be on consoles when they decide they want to exploit you.
PS: my computer is 7 years old, I only spent 900 euro to buy it and it still can run any game available for it (except broken games like GFWL games for example, but this is a problem of those particular games not of the computer itself). And also my favourite Nintendo games with Dolphin (Wii and Gamecube games are way better than Switch games). PC gaming is not that expensive anymore.
Oh and I own all my favourite Nintendo games I also still have my Wii and recently I hooked it up again because I really love it so I'm not talking about piracy here just to make it clear.
@Almighty-Koz you are the spoiled idiot. Nintendo has no right to force people to pay a subscription and expecially they have no right to force you to pay to backup your save files!!!
I have been able to give up on the games I wanted so much and boycott Nintendo because they treated me like crap, you are the one paying a subscription not me, you are the spoiled brat not me... and YOU are the idiot since you think Nintendo has the right to treat customers this way.
You Nintendo slaves should really try to play a bit more on computers instead of on consoles. You will understand how bad your console manufacturers tyrants treat you.
You would see who is the idiot then.
@NEStalgia #3 is exactly the same thing I feel too. Nintendo like any other company always had to make sure to gain the highest profit possible and probably they have been very lucky having a franchise like Pokemon that I think was able to "cover" many of the loss they have stumbled upon in the past. But until now they have always done so by valorizing their IPs in the best way possible or at least tried to do so. The new president feel like one of those poeople who don't make profit valorizing what they have got but instead want to make as much money as possible as soon as possible by selling everything they have. But that way there will be a point when they will have sold everything they had, and Nintendo will be just an empty box with worthless void inside at that point
@Balta666 "You say they are anti consumer but if they are free to play they need to be monetised (and if they are not free to play they won't sell because their userbase does not like it)"
What I say is that flaunting on an interview how much you like the revenue that you get from things like microtransactions (considered worse than trash by most gamers) is anti consumer. I mean of course you like money, but you should find nicer things to say in an interview. You should not flaunt it in such a blatant way. This is anti consumer imo. Those words are a little too brutal for an interview. It's like "My little precious cash cows I can't wait to milk you even more", it's not a nice thing to hear for a customer. Of course they are after money, we already know that. Though I would hope they care about the cultural importance of their games too, but I doubt it by now.
@Windy I played a lot Animal Crossing on Wii too, but the Gamecube version is even better imo. I only played it online once and didn't like that though. I don't like online gaming. And I didn't really know the people I played with in real life so probably that made it even worse...
@electrolite77 I don't think Nintendo was overly anti consumer back then... more or less it was the same stuff you are used to on console... worese than PC standards but it was nothing new, I already knew that. Today things are much worse imo.
I was not interested in Wiiware so idk how developers were treated. I only bought Virtual console games not Wiiware games.
@Windy I have a Switch but I still prefer the Wii, both the games and the behaviour of Nintendo as a company were better. I would prefer if the Wii age never ended and we were still playing with it and every new game for Nintendo console was still made for it. Things were better in every single way back then if you ask me.
A more powerful version of it maybe (so I could have TES games on it too), but ONLY more powerful. EXACTLY the same thing in everything else. You are not missing much if you cannot afford a Switch if you ask me.
I miss Wii and Gamecube so much. They were so much better than what we have today.
@electrolite77 moving to other console would be a useless and pointless suicide if they don't need to. But if they ever will be in a situation that they cannot make consoles anymore but others still make consoles then I don't think it could be a bad thing to create games for other consoles as well. But if they don't need to it would be just crazy and pointless for them of course.
@electrolite77 Of course if they do things I like (PC gaming) I could not complain because they also do something I don't like (mobile gaming). I wouldn't play their mobile games but I would buy their PC games (if those games are sold in a fair way for my taste). I didn't appreciate games like Wii sports and Wii music back then, there have always been certain Nintendo games that I didn't like but since there were other games that I really loved too it was not a problem for me. It would be the same thing if they will ever start making games both for computer and mobile phones. I wouldn't care about their mobile phone games but not really complain either if they do something better too.
@electrolite77 Well, I would agree with that because it makes sense and honestly, after my opinion on consoles changed I would be glad to have Nintendo games elsewhere and not only on Nintendo consoles.
But I am not interested in mobile phone games. I would be glad to have Nintendo games on PC.
Their games on mobile could never be as good and as enjoyable as they have always been on console, but on PC they could be at least as good as they have always been, maybe even better!
Why he is so willing to get into mobile phones ganming market but not into computer gaming market?
I have my own opinion about the reason but this is not the thing that matters the most, the most important thing is that mobile gaming is not as good as console and computer gaming.
I don't care anymore if consoles disappear because I don't feel that I can trust consoles anymore, but if consoles really disappear and Nintendo will start making computer games because of that I could even start to buy their games again, if they will sell them in a way that is fine for me (without the need of a subscription and things like that), but if they will choose the mobile phone market instead I will never buy their games and this time not because there is something in the way they sell them that I am gainst to, but because their games COULDN'T be as good as I want them to be anymore in that case.
They would be less than a shadow of what they used to be if something like that happens.
If consoles will ever really disappear, they could keep the quality they have always had on consoles only if they choose computer market, not mobile phones market.
@Paraka It is not just my personal anecdote. Every person I talked to (ok of course not the entire world, but every person I know, even only on the net not necessarily in real life) who like Nintendo says that they "want" third party games because those games would (in their opinion, not in my opinion) make people who despise Nintendo games buy Nintendo consoles to play their favourite games. I have seen people that despise Nintendo games, they hate anything that even looks vaguely similar to a Nintendo game and would NEVER buy a Nintendo console. But anyway, (except in the case of Switch because of the portability*) NONE OF THEM was interested in buying third party games for themselves, they just wanted those games because they hoped more people would have bought Nintendo consoles this way.
I don't think that Nintendo haters who feel ashamed everytime even just the box of a game that is not rated 18+ enter their field of view would buy a Nintendo console only because they can play Call of duty or Fifa on it, while they already can play those games on Playstation and XBox without anything that makes them feel ashamed like the icons of friendly and cute characters for avatars that are on Switch (just to make an example)
*This also demonstrates that portability is not just a gimmick like the other ones but it is more than that and it is actually useful for many people
@Yoshinator All those non gamers who bought Wii for the motion controls bought it, played a little with Wii Sports, then bought Just dance once a year and used it only during parties and nothing more.
Many of them did not even buy Just dance, they just tried Wii Sports a little bit and did not buy anything else.
The actual gamers are the ones who made Nintendo earn money with the actual games, non gamers made them earn money only on the consoles and then left those consoles to collect dust.
@Paraka Portability is not only a gimmick, it is also useful. I have never been interested in third party support that is not exclusive except for The Elder Scrolls games, since it is the only non exclusive franchise that I like and care about. And I did not want it on Nintendo consoles because I wanted to play it in a different way, I wanted it on Nintendo consoles because I LOVED Nintendo and wanted everything I like on it. Only because of my love for Nintendo.
It is so sad that the only Nintendo console with a TES game is the only Nintendo console that made me hate Nintendo (because of the subscription)
I personally don't care about other non exclusive games, and everybody I talk to says that third party support is important to make OTHER people buy Nintendo consoles. Nobody of them is interested in third party support (except on Switch because of the portability, and as I said this is actually useful, it is not just a gimmick) for themselves, but they want it for other people. Like people who despise Nintendo games would start buying Nintendo consoles to play Call of duty on it instead on Playstation. LOL. Do you think it would ever happen???? It's crazy. People who don't appreciate Nintendo games will not buy Nintendo consoles to play Call of duty or Fifa or Dark Souls with motion controls or with two screens instead of one.
@Paraka For the exclusives. Lol. Come on. We are talking about Nintendo games. Why would you buy any console if not for the exclusives? I bought all of them exactly for that. And every console I loved it has been ALWAYS and ONLY for that.
The exclusives. This is the only thing about consoles! Do you really think that a console need something more than that? Expecially a Nintendo console, since they have so many of them? And often of such a good quality too? Lol. You really are the one who should just play on PC if you believe that.
@Yoshinator And the Virtual Boy and the Wii U would like a word with you too. I love the Wii (the old, first one) but I think it would have been better without motion controls, I don't like DS that much but most of the people I have talked to who love it say that they just love its games, they love it for the games not because of its gimmicks. That means that even if those systems were succesful, the sold spent in their gimmicks were wasted. Most of the people who loved them would have loved them the same with more normal controls, maybe even more. And Virtual Boy and Wii U would not have flopped so hard.
@electrolite77 creating all their gimmicks (that most people didn't want, most people only wanted their games and were interested only in the software and/or software + more powerful consoles instead of gimmicks) often have been more unprofitable and unconvenient for them than not, but they never cared about that and never changed, they never stopped wasting huge amount of money in weird stuff that most people despised even those who bought it because they loved the games. Why they never cared to do something about that and change their strategies in this case? They would risk a lot less and would need to worry a lot less about risks if they just focused on their software and performances of consoles instead of weird controls that most people don't need and don't want.
@Ryu_Niiyama "Nintendo is a HW manufacturer they make a product that occupies the same space as PC "
No it does not.
PC is as different than a home console just as a mobile phone is different than a handheld console.
The only thing that makes PC closer to a console than a mobile phone is the quality of games, wich is very similar both on PC and consoles but it is immensely worse on mobile phones.
PS: I am not completely against dlc, dlc can be less worse than microtransactions and loot boxes, and also dlc are the only things amongst those that I would not define necessarily anti consumer, but often companies abuse of them and in that case they become anti consumer.
If there was some regulation on dlc to grant their fairness they could be a good thing too they are not necessarily bad. But often companies use them in the worst way.
@Ryu_Niiyama this "continuous stream of revenue" on MOBILE GAMING is clearly a reference to microtransactions, that's what is anti consumer.
Of course every company need a continuous stream of revenue, but there is a difference between earning it with worthy products and earning it with millions and millions of microtransaction that are worth nothing but many people who play on mobile are willing to pay them because... they cannot even figure out what is convenient and what is not.
If you don't understand what he is talking about is only because you don't want to, because it is really clear.
It is like a developer say in an interview that he likes a lot dlc, microtransactions and loot boxes. Of course they like it, but they should be smart enough to understand that we don't. And that games filled with that crap are nothing else than trash.
Also I don't understand why it makes sense that they want to make games on mobile phones but not on computers (other than this reason which is anti consumer). If they are willing to make games for other systems too not just their own why mobile phones are fine but computers are not? Except for the fact that on mobile there are much more people willing to spend money on microtransactions for games that are more shallow and less good than computer and console ones I mean.
@Ryu_Niiyama He clearly stated that he likes the "continuous stream of revenue" that mobile games (with their microtransactions and crap like that) grant.
Have you noticed that he is willing to make games for mobile but still not for computrers? On computers game would be better and allow them to keep their best quality, but gamers used to mobile gaming are much more willing to spend money on crap like that. And the quality standards are much lower on mobile.
I know in Japan there are not many gamer who use computers to play, but in the rest of the world many gamers play on computer, and Nintendo is well known worldwide, they could release their games on PC if they wanted. The whole world is their market, not just Japan. But ythey are after easy money with cheap games. He practically almost said so himself.
Talking about this kind of "continuous stream of revenue" is very anti consumer and insensitive imo.
BTW, he said what he WOULD LIKE to do, and NOT what he will do if he is forced to by necessity. He "WOULD LIKE more mobile games that allow a continuous stream of revenue" Microtransactions must be really great from his point of view. Of course. He is the one who receives the money.
@Alantor28 They could make local multiplayer games... or single player games, if they are good enough to create something that is entertaining enough by itself without the need of more players.
I don't even like games made by Blizzard anyway and multiplayer games usually are more repetitive and boring than single player games. I really don't understand why people like competitive games so much. Online gaming imo is the most uninteresting way to play games. At least when you play local multiplayer you actually are near your friends and you have fun with them. I still prefer single player anyway.
Anyway, I don't think that online gaming is a scam in itself, but I think that if a company want to scam their customers then online gaming give them more and easier ways to do so.
It is just another bad thing about it, but I'm not saying that companies always take advantage of that.
1 "To us, the guiding principle by which we operate is offering customers all around the world innovative and unique ways to play games"
I have loved Nintendo for many years because of how good, unique and fun their games are, not because of their "innovative and unique ways to play games" that often were just an annoyance that I had to endure to be able to play their games.
I love Wii but motion controls were annoying and unnecessary crap at least 90% of the time even for me.
Their games are great why they just fail to understand that and still believe that their annoying gimmicks is what people are looking for? Most of the people I have talked to agree with me. But they keep talking about their innovative ways to play games. WE LIKE THE GAMES THEMSELVES. The classic controller is the perfect choice for most of us, we just like the GAMES
2 "In the long-term, perhaps our focus as a business could shift away from home consoles – flexibility is just as important as ingenuity...I’d like to increase the (amount of) games on smartphones that have a continuous stream of revenue"
I decided to stop playing (and stop buying) Nintendo games because of the online subscription. Sounds like I'm not going to miss anything particularly exciting honestly...
I understand and agree with the second point "Selling serial numbers or product keys that are unauthorised by the maker of the software in online auctions", but the other ones seem really harsh and unfair imo. I miss so much the times when online multiplayer didn't exist and there were no controversies at all about cheating. It already happened to me to find some games that are too hardfor me but I like them anyway (Maldita Castilla and Lords of the fallen for example) and cheats can help you enjoying games that you would like to enjoy but just can't. I rembember how much fun I had with Vice city thanks to the cheats. I spent almost 90% of the time with that game cheating and I wouldn't have played it so much and had so much fun without cheats (I was not very good at it and it was also too fast for me I had to slow it down to have fun, probably because I was not good at it). All this boring online crap is only making us unable to enjoy games as we want like we did in the past. Our fruition of games gets more and more limited everytime but people still like to fight each other online in boring and repetitive matches instead of being able to enjoy their games in the fullest and most versatile way possible. I just don't understand people. I'm glad that I'm not like that.
@BulbasaurusRex Imo they are on the same level, not worse but not better either.
I like a lot Sonic 1 (it is the best one imo) and Sonic 3&K, I like Sonic CD too, but Sonic 2 imo is really awful, another one of the worst Sonic games.
PS: Sonic Mania is good, but Sonic 1 is even better for me.
I don't like Sonic Adventure games, they are some of the worst Sonic games imo, I really hate them. I would like so much a Sonic Unleashed remake instead. That game was really good. But the best one is still Sonic 1 and it will always be the best one probably.
I want this so much. I don't even want to know if it has Photo channel too: I already want it so much that I am really envious... :°( I would give away my Switch anytime for something like this
@SwitchForce Im not a troll I'm only a person who want to pay only once to BUY the things I want and then use those things as I wish all by myself
The only things I am a hater of are subscriptions, and if I hate Nintendo now is only becausew actually I would love their games but I hate the abusive way they made them available to the customers.
They treat customers almost as slaves.
I don't let them disrespect me that way even if that means that I must leave their games behind and play with something else.
I loved what they create but I'm not going to let them mistreat me like that to play their games.
I am not a troll, you are someone who can't understand what is more convenient to yourself and when a company is disrespecting you stealing more money from you than they should be allowed to.
@Balta666 I bought the Switch at launch and they didn't explained back then that they wanted to prevent you from manually keep your save files backups and to buy Virtual console retrogames because they wanted to abuse of those functions to convince single player only games to pay the subscription too. They waited at least one year to explain that. The OS was very bare-bones back then so it was legitimate to believe that the saves backup (manual offline backup I mean) would have been released in an update. I thought so at first. I would have never believed that they tried something so sordid and vile to force their subscription even on customers that are not interested in multiplayer. It is a scam because they are trying to force it on everybody and they are purposely making their console worse than it could be to do so. That's what makes it a scam.
@johnvboy the subscription is disgusting and offensive. Not this comment. But honestly, that subscription was so bad and unforgivable imo that everything that came after it can be called disgusting and offensive. Seeing Nintendo advertisements on tv now makes me angry and frustratred. I will not be able to trust any console anymore and it's thanks to Nintendo and their scam.
"The people who’ve played Smash before are coming back for this one" I'm not, thanks to your disgusting and offensive subscription. I hope that I'm not the only one. I want to see Nintendo games sold for extremely cheap prices on Steam now. Nintendo need to get humble as that if they want to see my money again And they should be humbled like that, they deserve it. I have bought Disney afternoon collection a few days ago on Steam and Duck tales 2 is much better even than Super Mario Bros 3, a game that I am not even allowed to buy anymore. Well there are better things I am still allowed to buy.
I have seen footage of this game. It is as fun as much as its cheap and unpolished. Also I'm sure it has no replayability at all. I believe it is free on mobile. The best way to enjoy it is watching some fun youtuber playing it. It is not a waste of time, but buying it would be a waste of money... It was expecially fun in the video I saw since the translation of the title in my native language (not english) was really poor and it made it even more entertaining.
Wii U was really bad, no wonder people don't remember it. I love Wii and Wii U was such a big disappointment.... but at least it wasn't a scam like Switch. Wii U and Switch are the opposite: Wii U was bad, but at least rather honest and fair for the customers (compared to other consoles at least), Switch could be a wonderful device but they ruin it to make it a scam hoping to expoloit consumers that way. But the best games are still those on Wii, Gamecube and Super Nintendo anyway, not on Wii U and not on Switch either...
PS: This don't look AT ALL like Sonic Unleashed. Sonic Unleashed was really good actually.
Classic Sonic is the best one but they managed to do things the right way with Sonic unleashed imo.
This is just crap even if it is only vaguely representative of the final product.
Violence in this trailer look rather balanced and fun. Mortal Kombat X was way too disgusting and exaggerated. It was almost disturbing, it would have been absolutely disturbing if it wasn't something as shallow and mindless as a Mortal Kombat game. This time it looks like they have understood they went too far with X
@SwitchForce
Manual save files backup free for everybody, not "only cloud backups" locked behind a subscription and Nintendo consoles retrogames available for purchase like the Virtual console have always been, not "only rent" locked behind a subscription.
They are pretending like they give more things to consumers who pay the subscription but this is not true, they are taking away things to consumers who does not pay. They are not giving anything special to people who pay the subscription, they are blatantly mistreating people who don't pay and taking away from them functions and things that should be available to everybody.
They are using Switch to exploit consumers they must stop that.
The Switch does not need a revision. The way Nintendo treats its customers does. The way Nintendo treats its customers need a very deep and complete revision.
@nhSnork piracy is illegal and at the same time producers and IP owners are in the wrong if they don't give peoplew FAIR means to own their games. It's not like if one is wrong the other must be right for sure. People who shamelessly pirate games to have them for free are wrong, people who want to buy games and use pirated roms only if the publishers don't give official ways to buy them or offer their customers only unfair deals to play their games do something illegal but not really wrong imo. At least it is as much wrong as the producers themselves are so it is just a matter of defending your own interest against people who started being unfair with you in the first place. Producers shouldn't have only the right to earn money with their games but also some obligations towards their customers. One cannot have only rights, rights come with duties as well. Nintendo shouldn't be exploitative to its customers, but laws protect only their interests. Laws themselves often are not right.
I mean it's ok of course that they want to protect their copyrights and make money with their games but at the same time they should show some respect for those games and for their customers as well. It's thanks to those games and those people if they are able to make money. But it's quite clear that they only care about how much exploitative they can get with the next scam they come up with. That's not ok. I hope fans will give them the punishment they deserve.
I would be glad if Nintendo behaved in a more decent and fair way towards both their customers and their games as well, but Nintendo clearly don't care about their customers and they don't even care about their own games, the only thing they care about is the money they make with those games and how much they can milk those games. This is unacceptable and I hope other people will get sick of it as much as me and others as well already have.
No backward compatibility, few Nintendo games compared to what we were used to on previous consoles (the main reason why people buy a Nintendo console usually), almost NO Nintendo retrogames at all (and things are even worse for those who don't pay the subscription), no wonder that people who want to stick to the Switch anyway buy many indie games.
Feathers are offensive but humiliating scam is not. Many thanks to Nintendo for the respect they show to native americans. A bit more respect for their customers too would be much appreciated.
One of my biggest dreams was to be able to play Oblivion on Wii. Bethesda is probably my favourite software house even if only for TES games. Oblivion was the only thing I really felt I was missing on Wii. I had it on X360 (bought it only for that game btw) but I really wanted to have it on Wii because I loved both Wii and Oblivion so much
I was disappointed (and really annoyed) when I saw that a TES online game was going to be released, I haven't tried it yet and I don't think I ever will, and I have also been disappointed by Nintendo for the subscription on Switch, so I am not disappointed about not being able to play a online multiplayer game that I don't want to be online multiplayer on a console that has been the worst disappointment in gaming for me. Those two things were already a disappointment. In that sense they would be the perfect match, it feels just weird that this port is not going to be made from that point of view.
@Rafke it is even worse than the N-Gage because back then it was difficult to understand how bad the N-Gage was before trying it yourself. This is something everybody already knows exactly how it will be: a smartphone with uselessly big amount of power with less exclusives than the N-Gage (0 exclusives is less than the N-Gage lol) and no physical buttond priced more than 1000 bucks lol It is much easier to understand how bad it is even before you see it with your own eyes lol

Re: Clueless About Your Switch? Nintendo Is Offering A Free "Concierge" Service For New Owners
@GKO900 I agree, it seems at least really dumb and unnecessary, if not really insulting almost I would say. Laughable for sure.
"FULL USE of it"? LOL
Somebody should call them and ask them to explain how can you put your jpg files in the album of the console without modding it in any way. LOL
Believe me, it is absolutely possible, but I don't think that they are going to explain that LOL.
"FULL USE", LOL.
Re: Nintendo Is Already Taking The Necessary Steps To Combat Video Game Addiction
The problem with video game addiction is that reality is bad, sad and painful and many of us don't like that, we want something better, and videogames are better. You can't get rid of addictions until you make reality MUCH more pleasant, sweet and better. And as much as you can create wonderful games, you have no control on how reality works and how much bad it is. Sorry.
Re: Splatoon 2 Hackers Are Forcing Unreleased Content Onto Other Players
@Alantor28 I have spent my money to buy the Switch at launch and for about one entire year they absolutely did not made it clear what they wanted to do with the online subscription (the only thing that was clear it was that you had to pay if you wanted to play online and I was like "Lol who cares? I hate online gaming anyway! Lol lol lol"), most of my all time favourite games are Nintendo games and I would like to continue playing their games (even if in my opinion their absolute best was during the Gamecube and Wii era, their games are still very good today even if not as good as they were back then imo) so I think I have 1) valid reasons and 2) lkegitimate rights to complain.
I am also boycotting them and not buying games that I would like to buy (like Smash Bros Ultimate for example) so I'm not just complaining, I am also doing something.
You can dislike what I say as much as you want but it is my right to complain, if you don't like it you can keep pulling 20$ out of your pocket to have the privilege to be mistreated by Nintendo every year. I don't approve that but at least I save my 20 euro to actually buy something better than that.
Re: Splatoon 2 Hackers Are Forcing Unreleased Content Onto Other Players
@Alantor28 yes of course I have problems. I have the problems Nintendo caused me (and every other customer as well) to make it look like things that should be available to everybody are a special bonus included in their subscription.
Re: Splatoon 2 Hackers Are Forcing Unreleased Content Onto Other Players
@Almighty-Koz my problem is with saves backups and virtual console games not available for purchase anymore but only playable with the subscription.
Multiplayer is garbage for my taste I don't care about it.
Nintendo is the only one that is trying to force me to pay to keep my save files backups and that is not allowing me to buy certain games.
On the other consoles this don't happen.
So if you really want to compare Nintendo to other consoles, Nintendo is worse, it is more unfair to its customers and this is something they never talked about before the launch. They made it seems like the online subscription was going to have exclusive bonuses while actually they just took away things that should be available for everybody to make them available only to subscribers.
This is not a bonus, this is treating customers like crap.
I loved Nintendo and hated computers before the Switch, but with the Switch they forced me to open my eyes about how exploitative consoles can become.
Believe me this is something I would have never wanted to understand back then. But now I think that in the end it is the better thing for me and for anybody else who don't want to become as helpless as one can be on consoles when they decide they want to exploit you.
PS: my computer is 7 years old, I only spent 900 euro to buy it and it still can run any game available for it (except broken games like GFWL games for example, but this is a problem of those particular games not of the computer itself). And also my favourite Nintendo games with Dolphin (Wii and Gamecube games are way better than Switch games). PC gaming is not that expensive anymore.
Oh and I own all my favourite Nintendo games I also still have my Wii and recently I hooked it up again because I really love it so I'm not talking about piracy here just to make it clear.
Re: Splatoon 2 Hackers Are Forcing Unreleased Content Onto Other Players
@Almighty-Koz you are the spoiled idiot. Nintendo has no right to force people to pay a subscription and expecially they have no right to force you to pay to backup your save files!!!
I have been able to give up on the games I wanted so much and boycott Nintendo because they treated me like crap, you are the one paying a subscription not me, you are the spoiled brat not me... and YOU are the idiot since you think Nintendo has the right to treat customers this way.
You Nintendo slaves should really try to play a bit more on computers instead of on consoles. You will understand how bad your console manufacturers tyrants treat you.
You would see who is the idiot then.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@NEStalgia #3 is exactly the same thing I feel too. Nintendo like any other company always had to make sure to gain the highest profit possible and probably they have been very lucky having a franchise like Pokemon that I think was able to "cover" many of the loss they have stumbled upon in the past. But until now they have always done so by valorizing their IPs in the best way possible or at least tried to do so. The new president feel like one of those poeople who don't make profit valorizing what they have got but instead want to make as much money as possible as soon as possible by selling everything they have. But that way there will be a point when they will have sold everything they had, and Nintendo will be just an empty box with worthless void inside at that point
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Balta666 "You say they are anti consumer but if they are free to play they need to be monetised (and if they are not free to play they won't sell because their userbase does not like it)"
What I say is that flaunting on an interview how much you like the revenue that you get from things like microtransactions (considered worse than trash by most gamers) is anti consumer. I mean of course you like money, but you should find nicer things to say in an interview. You should not flaunt it in such a blatant way. This is anti consumer imo. Those words are a little too brutal for an interview. It's like "My little precious cash cows I can't wait to milk you even more", it's not a nice thing to hear for a customer. Of course they are after money, we already know that. Though I would hope they care about the cultural importance of their games too, but I doubt it by now.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Windy I played a lot Animal Crossing on Wii too, but the Gamecube version is even better imo. I only played it online once and didn't like that though. I don't like online gaming. And I didn't really know the people I played with in real life so probably that made it even worse...
@electrolite77 I don't think Nintendo was overly anti consumer back then... more or less it was the same stuff you are used to on console... worese than PC standards but it was nothing new, I already knew that. Today things are much worse imo.
I was not interested in Wiiware so idk how developers were treated. I only bought Virtual console games not Wiiware games.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Windy I have a Switch but I still prefer the Wii, both the games and the behaviour of Nintendo as a company were better. I would prefer if the Wii age never ended and we were still playing with it and every new game for Nintendo console was still made for it. Things were better in every single way back then if you ask me.
A more powerful version of it maybe (so I could have TES games on it too), but ONLY more powerful. EXACTLY the same thing in everything else. You are not missing much if you cannot afford a Switch if you ask me.
I miss Wii and Gamecube so much. They were so much better than what we have today.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@electrolite77 moving to other console would be a useless and pointless suicide if they don't need to. But if they ever will be in a situation that they cannot make consoles anymore but others still make consoles then I don't think it could be a bad thing to create games for other consoles as well. But if they don't need to it would be just crazy and pointless for them of course.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@electrolite77 Of course if they do things I like (PC gaming) I could not complain because they also do something I don't like (mobile gaming). I wouldn't play their mobile games but I would buy their PC games (if those games are sold in a fair way for my taste).
I didn't appreciate games like Wii sports and Wii music back then, there have always been certain Nintendo games that I didn't like but since there were other games that I really loved too it was not a problem for me.
It would be the same thing if they will ever start making games both for computer and mobile phones.
I wouldn't care about their mobile phone games but not really complain either if they do something better too.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@electrolite77 Well, I would agree with that because it makes sense and honestly, after my opinion on consoles changed I would be glad to have Nintendo games elsewhere and not only on Nintendo consoles.
But I am not interested in mobile phone games. I would be glad to have Nintendo games on PC.
Their games on mobile could never be as good and as enjoyable as they have always been on console, but on PC they could be at least as good as they have always been, maybe even better!
Why he is so willing to get into mobile phones ganming market but not into computer gaming market?
I have my own opinion about the reason but this is not the thing that matters the most, the most important thing is that mobile gaming is not as good as console and computer gaming.
I don't care anymore if consoles disappear because I don't feel that I can trust consoles anymore, but if consoles really disappear and Nintendo will start making computer games because of that I could even start to buy their games again, if they will sell them in a way that is fine for me (without the need of a subscription and things like that), but if they will choose the mobile phone market instead I will never buy their games and this time not because there is something in the way they sell them that I am gainst to, but because their games COULDN'T be as good as I want them to be anymore in that case.
They would be less than a shadow of what they used to be if something like that happens.
If consoles will ever really disappear, they could keep the quality they have always had on consoles only if they choose computer market, not mobile phones market.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Paraka It is not just my personal anecdote. Every person I talked to (ok of course not the entire world, but every person I know, even only on the net not necessarily in real life) who like Nintendo says that they "want" third party games because those games would (in their opinion, not in my opinion) make people who despise Nintendo games buy Nintendo consoles to play their favourite games. I have seen people that despise Nintendo games, they hate anything that even looks vaguely similar to a Nintendo game and would NEVER buy a Nintendo console. But anyway, (except in the case of Switch because of the portability*) NONE OF THEM was interested in buying third party games for themselves, they just wanted those games because they hoped more people would have bought Nintendo consoles this way.
I don't think that Nintendo haters who feel ashamed everytime even just the box of a game that is not rated 18+ enter their field of view would buy a Nintendo console only because they can play Call of duty or Fifa on it, while they already can play those games on Playstation and XBox without anything that makes them feel ashamed like the icons of friendly and cute characters for avatars that are on Switch (just to make an example)
*This also demonstrates that portability is not just a gimmick like the other ones but it is more than that and it is actually useful for many people
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Yoshinator All those non gamers who bought Wii for the motion controls bought it, played a little with Wii Sports, then bought Just dance once a year and used it only during parties and nothing more.
Many of them did not even buy Just dance, they just tried Wii Sports a little bit and did not buy anything else.
The actual gamers are the ones who made Nintendo earn money with the actual games, non gamers made them earn money only on the consoles and then left those consoles to collect dust.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Paraka Portability is not only a gimmick, it is also useful. I have never been interested in third party support that is not exclusive except for The Elder Scrolls games, since it is the only non exclusive franchise that I like and care about. And I did not want it on Nintendo consoles because I wanted to play it in a different way, I wanted it on Nintendo consoles because I LOVED Nintendo and wanted everything I like on it. Only because of my love for Nintendo.
It is so sad that the only Nintendo console with a TES game is the only Nintendo console that made me hate Nintendo (because of the subscription)
I personally don't care about other non exclusive games, and everybody I talk to says that third party support is important to make OTHER people buy Nintendo consoles. Nobody of them is interested in third party support (except on Switch because of the portability, and as I said this is actually useful, it is not just a gimmick) for themselves, but they want it for other people. Like people who despise Nintendo games would start buying Nintendo consoles to play Call of duty on it instead on Playstation. LOL. Do you think it would ever happen???? It's crazy. People who don't appreciate Nintendo games will not buy Nintendo consoles to play Call of duty or Fifa or Dark Souls with motion controls or with two screens instead of one.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Paraka For the exclusives. Lol. Come on. We are talking about Nintendo games. Why would you buy any console if not for the exclusives? I bought all of them exactly for that. And every console I loved it has been ALWAYS and ONLY for that.
The exclusives. This is the only thing about consoles! Do you really think that a console need something more than that? Expecially a Nintendo console, since they have so many of them? And often of such a good quality too? Lol. You really are the one who should just play on PC if you believe that.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Yoshinator And the Virtual Boy and the Wii U would like a word with you too.
I love the Wii (the old, first one) but I think it would have been better without motion controls, I don't like DS that much but most of the people I have talked to who love it say that they just love its games, they love it for the games not because of its gimmicks.
That means that even if those systems were succesful, the sold spent in their gimmicks were wasted.
Most of the people who loved them would have loved them the same with more normal controls, maybe even more.
And Virtual Boy and Wii U would not have flopped so hard.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@electrolite77 creating all their gimmicks (that most people didn't want, most people only wanted their games and were interested only in the software and/or software + more powerful consoles instead of gimmicks) often have been more unprofitable and unconvenient for them than not, but they never cared about that and never changed, they never stopped wasting huge amount of money in weird stuff that most people despised even those who bought it because they loved the games.
Why they never cared to do something about that and change their strategies in this case?
They would risk a lot less and would need to worry a lot less about risks if they just focused on their software and performances of consoles instead of weird controls that most people don't need and don't want.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Ryu_Niiyama "Nintendo is a HW manufacturer they make a product that occupies the same space as PC "
No it does not.
PC is as different than a home console just as a mobile phone is different than a handheld console.
The only thing that makes PC closer to a console than a mobile phone is the quality of games, wich is very similar both on PC and consoles but it is immensely worse on mobile phones.
PS: I am not completely against dlc, dlc can be less worse than microtransactions and loot boxes, and also dlc are the only things amongst those that I would not define necessarily anti consumer, but often companies abuse of them and in that case they become anti consumer.
If there was some regulation on dlc to grant their fairness they could be a good thing too they are not necessarily bad. But often companies use them in the worst way.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Ryu_Niiyama this "continuous stream of revenue" on MOBILE GAMING is clearly a reference to microtransactions, that's what is anti consumer.
Of course every company need a continuous stream of revenue, but there is a difference between earning it with worthy products and earning it with millions and millions of microtransaction that are worth nothing but many people who play on mobile are willing to pay them because... they cannot even figure out what is convenient and what is not.
If you don't understand what he is talking about is only because you don't want to, because it is really clear.
It is like a developer say in an interview that he likes a lot dlc, microtransactions and loot boxes. Of course they like it, but they should be smart enough to understand that we don't. And that games filled with that crap are nothing else than trash.
Also I don't understand why it makes sense that they want to make games on mobile phones but not on computers (other than this reason which is anti consumer). If they are willing to make games for other systems too not just their own why mobile phones are fine but computers are not? Except for the fact that on mobile there are much more people willing to spend money on microtransactions for games that are more shallow and less good than computer and console ones I mean.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Ryu_Niiyama He clearly stated that he likes the "continuous stream of revenue" that mobile games (with their microtransactions and crap like that) grant.
Have you noticed that he is willing to make games for mobile but still not for computrers? On computers game would be better and allow them to keep their best quality, but gamers used to mobile gaming are much more willing to spend money on crap like that. And the quality standards are much lower on mobile.
I know in Japan there are not many gamer who use computers to play, but in the rest of the world many gamers play on computer, and Nintendo is well known worldwide, they could release their games on PC if they wanted. The whole world is their market, not just Japan. But ythey are after easy money with cheap games. He practically almost said so himself.
Talking about this kind of "continuous stream of revenue" is very anti consumer and insensitive imo.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
BTW, he said what he WOULD LIKE to do, and NOT what he will do if he is forced to by necessity.
He "WOULD LIKE more mobile games that allow a continuous stream of revenue"
Microtransactions must be really great from his point of view. Of course. He is the one who receives the money.
Re: It Is Now Illegal To Sell Unauthorised Game Keys In Japan, Save File Editors Also Banned
@Alantor28 They could make local multiplayer games... or single player games, if they are good enough to create something that is entertaining enough by itself without the need of more players.
I don't even like games made by Blizzard anyway and multiplayer games usually are more repetitive and boring than single player games. I really don't understand why people like competitive games so much. Online gaming imo is the most uninteresting way to play games. At least when you play local multiplayer you actually are near your friends and you have fun with them. I still prefer single player anyway.
Anyway, I don't think that online gaming is a scam in itself, but I think that if a company want to scam their customers then online gaming give them more and easier ways to do so.
It is just another bad thing about it, but I'm not saying that companies always take advantage of that.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
1 "To us, the guiding principle by which we operate is offering customers all around the world innovative and unique ways to play games"
I have loved Nintendo for many years because of how good, unique and fun their games are, not because of their "innovative and unique ways to play games" that often were just an annoyance that I had to endure to be able to play their games.
I love Wii but motion controls were annoying and unnecessary crap at least 90% of the time even for me.
Their games are great why they just fail to understand that and still believe that their annoying gimmicks is what people are looking for? Most of the people I have talked to agree with me. But they keep talking about their innovative ways to play games. WE LIKE THE GAMES THEMSELVES. The classic controller is the perfect choice for most of us, we just like the GAMES
2 "In the long-term, perhaps our focus as a business could shift away from home consoles – flexibility is just as important as ingenuity...I’d like to increase the (amount of) games on smartphones that have a continuous stream of revenue"
I decided to stop playing (and stop buying) Nintendo games because of the online subscription. Sounds like I'm not going to miss anything particularly exciting honestly...
Re: It Is Now Illegal To Sell Unauthorised Game Keys In Japan, Save File Editors Also Banned
I understand and agree with the second point "Selling serial numbers or product keys that are unauthorised by the maker of the software in online auctions", but the other ones seem really harsh and unfair imo.
I miss so much the times when online multiplayer didn't exist and there were no controversies at all about cheating.
It already happened to me to find some games that are too hardfor me but I like them anyway (Maldita Castilla and Lords of the fallen for example) and cheats can help you enjoying games that you would like to enjoy but just can't.
I rembember how much fun I had with Vice city thanks to the cheats. I spent almost 90% of the time with that game cheating and I wouldn't have played it so much and had so much fun without cheats (I was not very good at it and it was also too fast for me I had to slow it down to have fun, probably because I was not good at it).
All this boring online crap is only making us unable to enjoy games as we want like we did in the past.
Our fruition of games gets more and more limited everytime but people still like to fight each other online in boring and repetitive matches instead of being able to enjoy their games in the fullest and most versatile way possible.
I just don't understand people. I'm glad that I'm not like that.
Re: Sonic Team's Takashi Iizuka Wants To Remake Sonic Adventure
@BulbasaurusRex Imo they are on the same level, not worse but not better either.
I like a lot Sonic 1 (it is the best one imo) and Sonic 3&K, I like Sonic CD too, but Sonic 2 imo is really awful, another one of the worst Sonic games.
PS: Sonic Mania is good, but Sonic 1 is even better for me.
Re: Sonic Team's Takashi Iizuka Wants To Remake Sonic Adventure
I don't like Sonic Adventure games, they are some of the worst Sonic games imo, I really hate them.

Re: Nintendo President Believes Switch Can Meet Sales Goal Before End Of Fiscal Year
@SwitchForce Im not a troll I'm only a person who want to pay only once to BUY the things I want and then use those things as I wish all by myself
The only things I am a hater of are subscriptions, and if I hate Nintendo now is only becausew actually I would love their games but I hate the abusive way they made them available to the customers.
They treat customers almost as slaves.
I don't let them disrespect me that way even if that means that I must leave their games behind and play with something else.
I loved what they create but I'm not going to let them mistreat me like that to play their games.
I am not a troll, you are someone who can't understand what is more convenient to yourself and when a company is disrespecting you stealing more money from you than they should be allowed to.
Re: Nintendo President Believes Switch Can Meet Sales Goal Before End Of Fiscal Year
@Balta666 I bought the Switch at launch and they didn't explained back then that they wanted to prevent you from manually keep your save files backups and to buy Virtual console retrogames because they wanted to abuse of those functions to convince single player only games to pay the subscription too. They waited at least one year to explain that. The OS was very bare-bones back then so it was legitimate to believe that the saves backup (manual offline backup I mean) would have been released in an update. I thought so at first. I would have never believed that they tried something so sordid and vile to force their subscription even on customers that are not interested in multiplayer.
It is a scam because they are trying to force it on everybody and they are purposely making their console worse than it could be to do so.
That's what makes it a scam.
Re: Nintendo President Believes Switch Can Meet Sales Goal Before End Of Fiscal Year
@johnvboy the subscription is disgusting and offensive. Not this comment.
But honestly, that subscription was so bad and unforgivable imo that everything that came after it can be called disgusting and offensive.
Seeing Nintendo advertisements on tv now makes me angry and frustratred.
I will not be able to trust any console anymore and it's thanks to Nintendo and their scam.
Re: Nintendo President Believes Switch Can Meet Sales Goal Before End Of Fiscal Year
"The people who’ve played Smash before are coming back for this one"
I'm not, thanks to your disgusting and offensive subscription.
I hope that I'm not the only one.
I want to see Nintendo games sold for extremely cheap prices on Steam now.
Nintendo need to get humble as that if they want to see my money again
And they should be humbled like that, they deserve it.
I have bought Disney afternoon collection a few days ago on Steam and Duck tales 2 is much better even than Super Mario Bros 3, a game that I am not even allowed to buy anymore.
Well there are better things I am still allowed to buy.
Re: Mom Hid My Game! Gets Limited Time Sale On Switch And 3DS
I have seen footage of this game. It is as fun as much as its cheap and unpolished. Also I'm sure it has no replayability at all. I believe it is free on mobile.
The best way to enjoy it is watching some fun youtuber playing it.
It is not a waste of time, but buying it would be a waste of money...
It was expecially fun in the video I saw since the translation of the title in my native language (not english) was really poor and it made it even more entertaining.
Re: Random: New York Times Crossword Puzzle Forgets That The Wii U Was A Thing
Wii U was really bad, no wonder people don't remember it. I love Wii and Wii U was such a big disappointment.... but at least it wasn't a scam like Switch.
Wii U and Switch are the opposite: Wii U was bad, but at least rather honest and fair for the customers (compared to other consoles at least), Switch could be a wonderful device but they ruin it to make it a scam hoping to expoloit consumers that way.
But the best games are still those on Wii, Gamecube and Super Nintendo anyway, not on Wii U and not on Switch either...

Re: Nintendo Uploads Consumer Service Video Explaining How To Prepare Your Switch For Trade-In Or Sale
@SwitchForce
Manual save files backup free for everybody, not "only cloud backups" locked behind a subscription and Nintendo consoles retrogames available for purchase like the Virtual console have always been, not "only rent" locked behind a subscription.
They are pretending like they give more things to consumers who pay the subscription but this is not true, they are taking away things to consumers who does not pay. They are not giving anything special to people who pay the subscription, they are blatantly mistreating people who don't pay and taking away from them functions and things that should be available to everybody.
They are using Switch to exploit consumers they must stop that.
Re: Nintendo Uploads Consumer Service Video Explaining How To Prepare Your Switch For Trade-In Or Sale
The Switch does not need a revision. The way Nintendo treats its customers does. The way Nintendo treats its customers need a very deep and complete revision.
Re: Nintendo Wins $12 Million From Trademark And Copyright Infringement Lawsuit
@nhSnork piracy is illegal and at the same time producers and IP owners are in the wrong if they don't give peoplew FAIR means to own their games. It's not like if one is wrong the other must be right for sure. People who shamelessly pirate games to have them for free are wrong, people who want to buy games and use pirated roms only if the publishers don't give official ways to buy them or offer their customers only unfair deals to play their games do something illegal but not really wrong imo. At least it is as much wrong as the producers themselves are so it is just a matter of defending your own interest against people who started being unfair with you in the first place. Producers shouldn't have only the right to earn money with their games but also some obligations towards their customers. One cannot have only rights, rights come with duties as well. Nintendo shouldn't be exploitative to its customers, but laws protect only their interests. Laws themselves often are not right.
Re: Nintendo Wins $12 Million From Trademark And Copyright Infringement Lawsuit
I mean it's ok of course that they want to protect their copyrights and make money with their games but at the same time they should show some respect for those games and for their customers as well. It's thanks to those games and those people if they are able to make money. But it's quite clear that they only care about how much exploitative they can get with the next scam they come up with. That's not ok. I hope fans will give them the punishment they deserve.
Re: Nintendo Wins $12 Million From Trademark And Copyright Infringement Lawsuit
I would be glad if Nintendo behaved in a more decent and fair way towards both their customers and their games as well, but Nintendo clearly don't care about their customers and they don't even care about their own games, the only thing they care about is the money they make with those games and how much they can milk those games. This is unacceptable and I hope other people will get sick of it as much as me and others as well already have.

No backward compatibility, few Nintendo games compared to what we were used to on previous consoles (the main reason why people buy a Nintendo console usually), almost NO Nintendo retrogames at all (and things are even worse for those who don't pay the subscription), no wonder that people who want to stick to the Switch anyway buy many indie games.

Re: Nintendo's System Specs Have Always Been A "Big Barrier" For Bethesda
One of my biggest dreams was to be able to play Oblivion on Wii. Bethesda is probably my favourite software house even if only for TES games.

Re: Elder Scrolls Online Isn't Coming To The Nintendo Switch Because It "Will Not Fit"
I was disappointed (and really annoyed) when I saw that a TES online game was going to be released, I haven't tried it yet and I don't think I ever will, and I have also been disappointed by Nintendo for the subscription on Switch, so I am not disappointed about not being able to play a online multiplayer game that I don't want to be online multiplayer on a console that has been the worst disappointment in gaming for me. Those two things were already a disappointment. In that sense they would be the perfect match, it feels just weird that this port is not going to be made from that point of view.
