Re: Sega Tops Metacritic's 2020 Publisher Rankings, Nintendo Squeezes Into Top Ten

If Persona 5 Royal was released on a Nintendo system people would complain it's a port of a 1 year old game released with too little new content and at full price and it would have never gotten the score it got on PS4. Nintendo is competiting with megacorps much bigger than them while having their hands tied. So what they're achieving is admirable.

Re: PlayStation's Ken Kutaragi "Never" Considered Nintendo To Be A Competitor

@eltomo Sony wanted Nintendo to pay royalties for every nintendo games sold on playstation. They basically wanted Nintendo to become third party on Playstation. Nintendo just said no to be eaten by a bigger company. And they were right to do so. Look at the company who became Sony's third party during that time like Square, Namco or Konami and dare telling me they're in a better state than Nintendo now.

@nessisonett Quality standards are much lower on PS4 though so your comment makes no sense. Look how the Ratchet series is getting away with all the sequels that don't add any new game mechanics.
Meanwhile some Nintendo series get hugely criticized and die for changing too much while Nintendo is getting accused to not try anything new. There 's obviously a double standard and an anti nintendo narrative here.

Re: "Free Melee" Becomes "Save Smash" Following Nintendo's Legal Action Against Competitive Smash Bros. Event

@PBandSmelly Nintendo allow Melee tournaments. They just don't allow modded Melee tournaments. It's funny people pretend Nintendo is the worst company ever by doing this when any other company outlaw tournaments of older episode game when the new one gets released. Like how Capcom outlawed Street Fighter 4 when the worse Street Fighter 5 was released and there was no outrage because Big Brother Sony was behind this and it's not allowed to criticize Sony.

@Trajan Nintendo being closed off does no have any consequence on the industry as it's a very small company with its own market. Sony being closed off has negative consequences over the whole industry as Sony is a gigantic control freak megacorp who wants to have a grip on everything. The recent decline of the japanese industry is 100% Son's fault as they're holding in hostage many japanese videogames that don't sell on their hardware and limit their exposure. Nintendo don't buy high profile exclusives, only fund games that couldn't be done without them and let the games go elsewhere when they don't sell well on their hardware. Sony prefer watching the japanese industry dying than letting it do well elsewhere.

@beazlen1 The PS2 was a disappointing console softwares wise in Japan. Sure there were the Metal Gear and the PES games that were very popular but the quality of Square games really dropped compared to the PS1 and many high profile japanese games flopped hard or didn't have a large appeal like Maximo, Okami, Godhand, Silent Hill or Shadow of the Colossus.
