@Nemesis666 My point is that TOK is rudderless, or as Yahtzee would describe it, "A dog's breakfast of ideas." There was no one at any point, whether it be Tanabe or someone else, that actually tied up all of the ideas the game had and made them work together. It's a bunch of ideas thrown together with no regard for how it actually plays. Also yes, in general Tanabe has come up with many bad ideas (Slam mechanic in LM3, Zip-Lash's level select spinner, no Rareware in the new DK games, the awful gameplay loops of SS/CS/TOK) so I think it's fair to blame him.

@N00BiSH I sort of have the impression that based on how unfocused TOK is (Is it an action-adventure game? Is it an RPG? Ar the battles turn-based or real-time? Is it a hidden object game? Is the gimmick origami or is it confetti/office supplies/drawings?) that once he got in his idea for the Rubik's Cube-style battles, he was incredibly hands-off with the game. It in general lacks any sort of cohesion and doesn't know what it wants to be. It feels like it was designed by committee and EVERYONE got a bit of what they wanted in it.

@N00BiSH He killed Chibi-Robo, Mario Vs. DK, and Dillon as franchises. He made Federation Force. He added stupid ideas like the slam move to Luigi's Mansion 3 that made what could have been a great game much less good. He wanted any legacy of Rareware and DKC kept out of the new DK games. I'm sour on his involvement with things because I think he is pretty much a hack who has delusions that he's as good of a dev as Miyamoto or something. His work at this point is like if Miyamoto constantly kept trying to make Wii Music or Star Fox Zero work instead of dropping them as the failed experiments they were.

I really hate to be so blunt, but maybe he should try acquiring some talent before he tries to innovative. He is without a doubt the worst creator at Nintendo now and has been for years. I'm frankly amazed he still is allowed to work on anything, considering how often his ideas have driven franchises into the ground. He's definitely got a big head and thinks his ideas are better than they are. If you want to have a "People don't actually know what they want, I do" attitude, you'd better have talent to back it up and Tanabe has shown time and time again he does not.

How can you just straight up use an art style like this? This is just Gravity Falls.

"Personality" in a menu is a weird request. Just let me get to the games faster, add folders and the menu is perfect. Maybe not the Wii, but the Wii U and especially the 3DS were super bloated and look dated.

This game is one of the best of 2019 for Switch. I really wish it were selling more, this is a game I would love a sequel for.

Total outsider and death threats are not cool, but you know would have prevented all of this? Making a good game.

How do people still not realize that a major reason it never got localized was a character named "Reggie" that was dressed like a racist stereotype? I'm amazed Reggie managed to joke/keep it together all these years despite being hounded constantly with something like that in it.

Why is it always the anime boob games that have this response happen?

@Aurumonado By then the Switch will be completely fully emulated without any fault, just saying.

I've got to be real here; microSD cards of good sizes are so cheap and Internet so readily accessible that I have never, ever understood the outrage when multiple games aren't on a single Switch cart. I guess I never will.

The hilarious thing about the reboot is that it started off of ironic "lol wouldn't it be hilarious if there were Bubsy fans." These games were meant to be a part of it turning genuine but were bad even in that context. It's basically what Accolade was doing in the 90s now.

I'm sure he'll find some ethnic group to blame for this happening, don't worry.

Plenty of other games have similar content without the aura of creepiness and lack of quality most of these games have. If they didn't have sex appeal the mechanics of the games alone wouldn't sell them, which means they are bad.

I just wish the release schedule were more consistent. I have to wonder if Yoshi got pushed back into 2019 simply because they would have nothing for the first six months of the year without it.

I'm amazed by the negative reaction this is getting. I played the demo and it was fun, way better than Kirby.

Sadly given what the game has even a higher rating wouldn't help. Still has child abuse and animal abuse, and that's not even getting into the racism stuff.

@Blizzia If I see someone eating a pizza with two pepperoni on the whole thing and saying "man I wish I had more pepperoni," I'm going to suggest they get a different brand of pizza/go to a different shop. If they want pepperoni, there are better places for it that give them a better experience. Get what I'm saying?

@saintayu If they truly just want a smutty softcore game, there's plenty of those. If that is all they wanted, they'd play the tons of anime VNs/dating simulators on Steam. But what they really want is to fight an Internet fight.

What's even the appeal of these games? There are better volleyball games, better mini-game collections, better dating simulators, and yes, better sources of "that" kind of material. How much of the appeal of these games to Westerners is honestly part of their allegiance to a political tribe just to upset those they perceive to be their enemies in a cultural war?

@lifepsychedelic Oh yeah some indie 3D can be bad for sure. But still, at some point these games blend together.

I hate the whole "Indies only make 2D pixel-art games" stereotype and know for a fact that some of these are great games but jeez. In 16 minutes I think they showed one new game that wasn't 2D or pixel-art. And it is a port of a five-year-old game. Yep, indies definitely picking up the slack for lazy AAA devs on the Switch.

Shame that there's probably never going to be a real NMH sequel given the (nearly) universal "meh" this game is getting.

@nintendork64 They had him verbally berating his employees on tape. What more do you need?

@Medic_alert Wii games sometimes struggle with emulation even on modern gaming rigs. The games people want most from the GCN are more likely to get remakes. Sure, the Switch could theoretically run them I guess. I'll admit, not as silly as people believing a GCN Classic would be a thing, that would cost like $200.

All of the people thinking that there could ever be GCN or Wii games emulated on the Switch amuse me. First, the Switch isn't powerful enough for that. Second, games that recent would just get remakes. Third, it's pretty clear that the emulators are N64 and GB(A).

@Tirza I know my country has problems and had them in the past (even with WWII) and don't systematically deny/underplay them like Japan does. The problem is the tu quoque fallacies Japan engages in. Yes, America committed tragedies and was racist, what of it? How does that make Japan doing it and denying it suddenly okay?

@Tirza Is there some sort of compulsion that you have to bring up anything related to trans people the second someone says "I don't like thing?" It's eerie.

@superguy123 Does Auschwitz have a museum that denies the Holocaust, or say that the Nazis were welcomed in Poland as liberators?

@link422007 "Tu quoque!" doesn't lessen the war crimes Japan did. This is what a lot of Japanese nationalists do; whenever you bring up Bataan/baby bayonetting/Nanjing/Unit 731/forced Korean soldiers/occupation of SE Asia, they just cry "But America nuked us, you're hypocrites!" and thus they can continue to keep up Yasukuni's near deification of the actions of the Imperial Japanese Army while denying/underplaying what they did. Amazingly, this even happens with things like mentioning their terrible treatment of the Ainu or their horrific "scientific" whaling practices.

Don't let Japan get away with honoring terrible atrocities just because they can say "America nuked us twice."

@AlternateButtons It concerns every country they sell their products in. And no, it isn't. The Imperial Japanese did horrific things on the level of their Nazi allies during the war. And guess what? Japan honors them. Can't recall if they still deny that comfort women existed but that was a big thing for a while too.

@Mando44646 A multinational company that sells games to Korea and China went to a memorial that glorifies people who committed war crimes on the people of Korea and China. What is there not to get?

@AlternateButtons Aren't you exhausted by trying to trivialize every single issue as stupid moaning? This is like if Germany had a war memorial that had the names of open Nazi Party members on it. This shrine is controversial within Japan and has been for a long time.

@BenGrimm Why is a video game company going to a site that honors war criminals?

Gotta love the people who immediately go on the defense as if this is a "culture war" thing and not actual Koreans and other groups being legitimately upset that a company that makes video games goes to a shrine that honors war criminals. One war criminal honored spoils the site, that's why it's controversial in Japan itself.

@BenGrimm Because the shrine honors war criminals in the same place? Is this supposed to be sarcasm?

All of the games mentioned should have been on Switch.

Why can't Nintendo just dump like 20-30 a month instead of this crap? PS4 and Xbox One owners get games that came out in 2015 for free with their subscription. Don't care if it costs more, no excuse for two ROMs a month. Nothing less than N64 is acceptable, and even then that should be a basis for a majority, which is GCN and Wii games. Seriously, this service should be $60 and offer two GCN or Wii games a month, or 3-4 N64 games. Want to give NES or SNES, should be like 5-10.

Am I weird if I disliked The Wonderful 101 more than Zero? Get rid of the motion controls and stupid tablet and Zero is great. The only problem is the controls.

How about making sequels to these games instead?

I absolutely despise the fact that because Nintendo was late to the party with online play, they have to do weird stuff to pretend to innovate. All their consumers want is a Nintendo version of Xbox Live/Playstation Network, but they cannot seem to concede defeat.

I just hate how Nintendo will lean so hard on "evergreen" titles these days. Or release half-finished games with on-cart DLC that sure, they release for free months down the line, but the whole point of them is to drum up "hype" for an old game instead of constantly making new ones. It's cheap, anti-consumer, and only prolongs them having to release nothing.

The Switch does not need a mountain of indies, (that are mostly better/available on the PC) Wii U ports, (kind of on the fence about Smash being a port or a remake but DK and Toad definitely are) or gimmicks like Labo. It needs games like Octopath Traveler, Metroid Prime 4, Yoshi, heck, even Pokemon Let's Go. You can't keep up these dumb hype-building mechanisms and expect people to stick around forever.

Tell me lies, Todd.

@GothicZM
Yes.

@GothicZM
Because if you associate a behavior to a race because they are that race, it's racist regardless of who is saying it about what race? I know you're going into whataboutism about BioWare or whatever, but that isn't okay either.

@GothicZM
Doing it in a memey and uninformed way that meets the definitions of racism and then saying that the left is the one discriminating against him is bad, yes.

You even admit that if the inverse were said, it would supposedly be heralded because you perceive an anti-white bias. So why isn't what JT said anti-black, then?

@GothicZM
It was more than just that, he was talking about genetic predisposition to violence based on race. I don't know why people who say behavior is inherent based on race get upset when they are called racist. I get that it gets thrown around a lot, but that's what he said.

Guy needs to stick to his day job and worry about making his content actually funny again. It's sad to see someone washed up and so not passionate anymore that he's grasping at jumping on the bandwagon of "controversial Internet guy defends the right."

Nothing of value was lost; he hasn't made me laugh in years. If anything it saves me from the "hilarious" ECH meme.

I'm really sick of Tomorrow Corp, honestly. They're just dragging along the same games for years and dumping them on every new platform. Already have them, not going to waste my money on a Switch version.
