Re: Nintendo's Directors Earn A Relatively Modest Wage Compared To Other Industry Execs

Nintendo do not want to participate in the budget race and do not believe the quality of a game is correlated to its budget. Nintendo is the only big videogame company in the world who has game designers in its administrative board and in directing position. Nintendo consider making a videogame is like playing a game. Sometimes you win and sometimes you loose but the most important is to let developers express themselves instead of following a straight commercial formula decided by business suits.

@Retron Nintendo is a school of game design. They're here to try new mechanics and give game designers creative freedom whatever it fails or succeed. They're the only big videogame company left still doing that. If they stop doing that they die. If you want a market where budget size decides the quality of a videogame then Nintendo is not for you. They're a hit or miss company since the very beginning.

@Fulgor_Astral Yeah so when you like subpar games that not the majority want on Sony's consoles you're an open minded gamer who is into niche videogames but if you like them on Nintendo systems then you are a drone into an abusive reltionship with a megacorp (who is like 100 times smaller than Sony anyway but yeah Nintendo is totally the control freak megacorp of the industry)
That anti Nintendo bias is the reason why we should boycott japanese viodeogames on Sony consoles until Sony stop with this toxic policy of sending their paid trolls that is detrimental for the variety of the industry.

He treated the videogame medium with a lot of respect by giving the spotlight and freedom to the actual creators and not to the wallet holders. People claiming their videogames are art when their games are just big money, no creativity and made by an army of guys who hate their jobs are pointless.

Re: Nintendo's Free eShop Game Jump Rope Challenge Is Keeping Switch Owners Active

@Alztru It's free. It doesn't hurt anyone. It doesn't take profits from anyone. The only think it takes is screen time, but for good reason. It makes people move in an era where it can be difficult to since some people live in countries where they can't go outside. You should be more virulent about full price game that are basic and don't have any game design idea and only get good reviews scores because they have big budget development. The videogames industry is too much alienated by big money and this game is far from being the biggest problem.

Re: Konami Pulls The Plug On Nintendo Switch Exclusive Hyper Sports R

@TheWingedAvenger Talented people left Konami years ago. When Kojima wanted to get all the workforce of the company to work on his high budget Metal Gear games and outsource to external development teams their other IP such as Silent Hill or Castlevania. It's the high budget AAA model pushed by Sony that killed Konami. They should have focused on more varied middle budget projects if they wanted to survive.
