Re: Takaya Imamura: F-Zero Hasn't Been Revived Because Mario Kart Is Nintendo's "Most Popular Racing Game"

boxyguy

part of me also believes its comes with the pride of attempting to be a successful 1st party nintendo game. mk8d is the exception, but i think its hard to sell yourself as a $60 arcade-y party game youre meant to replay for high scores or rank mode, the content has to speak for itself. unless they wanna admit this is a b-grade series to be sold at $40-$50

their best bet would be to just remake or port over gx with online and test if theres still a market for it

Re: Round Up: Here's What Switch Fans Are Saying About The Pikmin 4 Demo

boxyguy

part of me likes how.. weird the avatar options look. theres nothing conventionally attractive about them, they dont even have natural hair colors. with a game as weird as pikmin i think thats something you gotta embrace

i do wish the face/hair options werent limited to body types tho, id like more options to mix and match

Re: Microsoft CEO Says He Would "Love To Get Rid Of" Exclusives On Consoles

boxyguy

for nintendo specifically they NEED to rely on exclusives since their priority is solely in the game market, pushing consoles is important.

but other than the pride of owning X console to play Y game i really cant complain about games being more accessible in other places, but we still need a lil bit of both if not for the sake of companies trying to 1-up each and make better quality games

Re: PlayStation Boss Doesn't Think Call Of Duty Appeals To Nintendo's Core Audience

boxyguy

he's not entirely wrong, especially when i grew up hearing fans preach "gameplay over graphics" and "all cod games are the same" . there was a point where it was cool to hate cod and better to play "real" games

that said, still incredibly petty to dismiss the games all together. he's trying so hard to convince us cod on switch is a bad idea when its just to cover sonys backend

Re: Random: Disgruntled Splatoon 3 Fan Complains Directly To Nintendo's President About Male Poses

boxyguy

@steely_pete tbh im still confused at what he directly wants. does he not want the "boy" hair styles to put hands on their hips? not wink or do peace signs? its such a generalized complaint that just limits options

idk how this takes away options when you can still choose your characters style in the beginning. whats being taken away? emotes are a brand new thing so theres no basis on whats been removed yet

Re: Random: Disgruntled Splatoon 3 Fan Complains Directly To Nintendo's President About Male Poses

boxyguy

isnt it part of the canon that the squids can morph their hair into whatever they want? whose to say which player is a boy or girl at this point. i never even noticed it as an issue cause options arent limited between boy or girl characters anymore

the poses dont even look that feminine to me? unless they mean striking any kind of pose doesnt look masculine. maybe they expect something more blatant like flexing muscles or something

Re: WarioWare: Move It! Wiggles Its Way Onto Switch In November

boxyguy

now this is interesting, a sequel not only happening soon after the last game, but also being the "smooth moves" game style we all expected the first time

hoping for a more complete package. GiT was great but slacked on a few highlights of past games (VAing, cinematics, toys/collectables)

Re: Random: Mario Movie Illegal Upload Watched By Millions On Social Media

boxyguy

when this comes in conjunction of the movie recently making 1B in the box office theres only so much "woe is nintendo" to go around. popular movies have been pirated for years, this movie has already been online for weeks. the fact that movies can be successful despite that shows how well off they are

pirating will never truly take over cause the general public would honestly rather pay for the convenience of receiving a product right then and there, than go through hoops of steps and sketchy links to maybe get a good quality pull of a movie

Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?

boxyguy

@TheBigBlue @Mauzuri battle league is a bad example tbh. i bought both games and switch sports is the far better deal. BL is not a big enough evolution to warrant all they cut from previous games. literally, its just one mode. its a fine game that should not be $60, and this being the only mario sport that nintendo offers a free demo to months after it came out tells me nobodys been playing it

i can argue switch sports is a complete $40 game after its updates. less modes, but still far more variety and replayability. the game didnt need to be wii sports resort + more, all the side mode wouldve bloated the online aspect tbh. and the game already shines in its simplicity and ease of use

thats harder to get away with in mario sports, theres needs to be a bigger hook than "main mode and online mode". it failed in ultra smash, and failed again in battle league

Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?

boxyguy

this is such a weird game to talk about. theres a lot to be said about its lack of modes and sports, but i still got so much value from the game and its online is FAR better than wii sports club.

with how successful that game was they shouldve supported it longer. nintendo this generation has been bloated with "less modes and content but you can play online now" games and this couldve been so much more

Re: Anniversary: Five Years Ago, Nintendo Unboxed Its Most Joyful, Harebrained Experiment

boxyguy

the games ended up more disposable than the cardboard. im still oddly on board for them to make more kits, the idea of DIY accessories and games is still really cool to me, its the best use of joycons by far. they just need more fleshed out gameplay and ways to share labo garage creations

half the fun of games like this is easily sharing and creating ideas. but sharing video recordings of labo vr was hard enough, they never fully taught you how to use the garage, and the games are so focused on local play it could never really build a bigger community. as cool as it was to construct your peripheral everything else after that was too shallow
