Re: Nintendo Reminds Us Splatoon 3 Is Still On The Way (Again)

The gameplay is the story, not the pictures (that would make it a movie). The changes you're expecting are not what make a game a game, never mind a Nintendo game. They actually care about the story. The differences between games such as Smash and Splatoon and the different stories they tell [through interactional means] are subtle to those not entrenched in game design. Americans especially (as one myself) are particularly lost and blurred by being born into technology they misinterpret, like cutscenes being the "story".

Yet, you play games. The different weapons, levels, and spacing options will dictate a different feel than the second version. In this case, the story being told is ovb "chaos vs order".

In addition, the main narrative is the systemic issues of American capitalism which is told through the mode "Salmon Run", in which, like the military exploits of the U.S., you are "collecting" eggs (aka stealing) from foreign lands by shady people. They even have Salmon Run style "We Want YOU!" posters throughout. Love yall

@Lemonyoshi wow, talk about missin' the mark! The gameplay is the story, not the pictures (that would make it a movie).

Re: The E3 2021 Awards Winners Are In, But Nintendo Lost Out

@Slowdive I made this account to tell you specifically that I've watched every E3 in history and this was one of the most underwhelming ones of all time. Nintendo is sitting on a pile of games it won't release due to the switches success, meaning the past two years where we had no games is going to continue this year, probably until it's 2022 successor. No disrespect if you enjoyed it, but the concensus is clear. Can't really blame Nintendo given their sales, but they could have given us something. Mario Kart 9, Bayonetta 3, Mario 3D game, Arms 2... hell, even new Splatoon 3 footage would have faired better
