@somebread Poekmon is an entry level game who create a potential audience for JRPG games and more generally japanese games. You destroy Pokemon, you destroy the japanese industry. Who is currently the biggest western blockbusters seller on the market? Who has the biggest interest to destroy the japanese industry? Yep, Sony.

@NIN10DOXD Sony entered on the consoles market with the specific purpose to kill Nintendo. They see it as a revenge because Nintendo is a dwarf company who refused to bow down to them and make games for the Playstation. It's very well documented. And many times Sony made games that ripped off Nintendo games. The "smash isn't a fighting game" smear campaign started in 2012 during the marketing campaign of Playstation All Stars.

@NIN10DOXD It's allowed to tell a Nintendo game is bad before its release. It's unallowed to tell a Sony game is bad before its release. Easy to guess where it's coming from. There's a big company who wants the death of the biggest seller of japanese videogames in order to destroy the japanese industry and it isn't playing fair to reach its objective.

You can tell that smear campaign against the game is professionally organized, you can't discuss about it. Someone is spending some millions to trash the game everywhere on the internet. It's always like that when a Nintendo system sells too well. Some gigantic megacorps use these petty tactics instead of playing fair and making better games.

@sanderev Nintendo doesn't own Bayonetta at all. It's just that Sega doesn't care about her so they can do what they want.

@Anti-Matter They're arcade ports. Capcom arcade games were known for their bad quality sound compared to other like SNK, Sega or Namco. The sound of their console ports were better. The Street Fighter 2 games on the Super Nintendo had better quality sound than their arcade version.

@SenseiDje I really don't see how you could make a device that can emulate the gamecube flawlessly for a $100 price range.

If you get KOF97, pick the characters Kyo, Iori and Chizuru to get the canon ending. It's the final ending of the Orochi Saga, the first arc of the KOF series. They aren't the easiest characters to play so you might be challenged.

I would recommend KOF 97 and KOF 2000. The other games of that list are very hard to play without an arcade stick since they don't have input buffers.

@Kalmaro I remember when Sony paid fighting game tournaments to kick out Smash Bros from competition and push their Playstation All Stars Battle who was a real fighting game because it contained characters from r-rated games lol. The fighting game community lost a lot of credibility during that episode. And Sony showed what kind of shameful methods they were ready to use to kill competitors instead of making better games than them.

@Dellybelly Sony is just a giant megacorps who bought its success through identitary marketing and smear campaigns against competitors. The fact they didn't manage yet to eat a dwarf company like Nintendo shows their incompetency.

I don't see how it is impressive when you compare the size of Nintendo and Sony. Sony is just a gigantic megacorps of 150 000 business suits who buy its success. The PS4 will mark the history as the console that destroyed the japanese industry. Compared to the PS1 and the PS2 it's a terrible system and entire genre are missing or only have low quality multiplatform games on it.

I don't want Street Fighter 5. It's a bad episode and it would have been gutted by critics if it had been a Nintendo exclusive. And the too much focus on that game is killing the fighting game community.
Street Fighter 4 was okay but they added too much characters it made the game unplayable because no one could learn all the different match ups.

@QueenKittenWrite Astral Chain was fully funded by Nintendo. The game wouldn't exist without Nintendo. Sony never said they funded Persona 5, they just bought exclusives rights for the sake of limiting its exposure. Sony is a control freak megacorp who constantly does that. They bought so much exclusives for the dead Vita it basically detroyed the japanese industry.

It's a nice game with creative game design. So yes it would have been unnoticed on systems where the quality is ranked by development budget.

@EasyDaRon The main point of Mario Odyssey was a game design idea: Mario could throw his hat on enemies to take control of them and have different way of controls. That's creative game design. But people are too in the late-capitalism mindset and blind by the name of the IP.

@Varkster Sony blockbusters aren't directed by game designers but by business suits and scriptwriters. They're perfect in what they try to do but they're very formulaic and completely deny game design can be a creative art form. I often see on forums people complaining they get bored of videogames and they feel they are too old for them. But theirproblem isn't the age, their problem is they only play these hugely marketed blockbusters thinking they're the best games in the industry. People should follow more the creative stuff and less the big budget stuff if they get bored of videogames.

AAA games aren't directed by game designers anymore and their gameplay are uncreative and all the same. Nintendo is one of the last big publisher who doesn't do AAA. That's why they want to favor indies. Because indies make videogames with the Nintendo method. Gameplay and game design first, rest is secondary.

@zool Yeah when Sony had the consoles of shovelwares they were the good guys. Now that Nintendo have the shovelwares consoles Nintendo are the bad guys. Funny how narrative evolves depending on the size and power of a company. Sony was always a control freak megacorp. It's impossible to criticize them without facing serious trouble. Guys like Jason Rubin or Shinji Mikami learnt this the hard way. So Nintendo who is very small has to face constant smear campaigns. Still impressive they're surviving this far. Maybe they're doing something good after all.

Deserved success. That's exactly what I like in a videogame, creativity of game design over big budget graphics and cinematics. Sometimes big studios forget what the word "game" means and make their videogames too close to other mediums like movies or books.

EA has never made a good football game. Their gamelay is floaty and scripted. I'd rather play a ISS game on N64 or a PES game on PS2 made by Konami that actually reward skill with precise controls than any EA game.

@Nagi You're right. Contra 4 is an absolute masterpiece and maybe the best Contra game ever made.

@Alucard83 lol you think a dwarf company like Nintendo has any grip over a megacorp like Western Digital? You tinfoil hat guys need a reality check.

@OorWullie True the difficulty of that game is awful. The fairest AI in the SF2 games is propbably in Hyper Fighting, which is the SF2 Turbo episode on Snes.

@westman98 Lol. Compare that price with the price of equally powerful smartphones and you'll see the Switch Lite is very cheap. I doubt Nintendo make any profit on it.

@Moroboshi876 Anyone can contact the Guiness World Records. If they don't find any evidence your record has been beaten they will register it.

Why not everyone optimize their games like that. Huge games are incredibly damaging for hard drives and since people have to buy hard drives more often it hurts the planet.

Puyo Puyo 2 lol. Timeless classic even if the menus are in japanese.

@Tao Nintendo is a small company with a limited power over the industry. Sony is a huge megacorp who will use their infinite wallet to manipulate the industry and destroy what they don't like. Comparing both is ridiculous. Yes Xenoblade 2 sold very well compared to the switch market and despite the smear campaign against it as usual with any switch exclusive. Persona 5 sold barely better despite having fantastic word of mouth. Sony created a terrible audience that is hurting the industry.
Yes Metal Gear games focus on gameplay first. Hideo Kojima is a game designer. All the Metal Gear games offer new gameplay possibilities. Western AAA these days have bland gameplay and all play the same because the game designers of these games don't have any responsibility and have to obey to the story writter. this is a terrible way to make a game. Western AAA developers hate their job.

@Tao But why Nintendo pulled out of the deal with Sony? Because they are evil? This is the narrative you're eating? You must be so smart.
The west love japanese videogames. Look at Pokemon, Mario , Smash, Zelda sales. Despite all the smear campaigns coming from Sony and their bitter fanboys. Where was the smear campaign that targeted the Yakuza, Persona, Bloodborne, Nier Automata, Monster Hunter World? Nowhere. And these games sold terribly on the PS4 despite being a market of 100 million units sold. Why? Because Sony favor western games and the smear campaign they do to Nintendo games backfire to japanese games on PS4. Why Sony want to destroy the japanese industry? Because western games make more profits. Why? Because they are directed by story guys. You play them for the story then you stop playing them because the gameplay is uncreative and you're ready to buy the next one. Japanese videogames are directed by game designer and the gameplay offer more depth and complexity so you play these games longer and they're better for superplay and speedrun. Sony hate this philosophy of gaming and they want to destroy it by favoring their western blocbusters that are only considered good because they have a big budget. Sony fanboys refuse to open their eyes but it's their fault if the japanese videogames market is shrinking. And history will judge them.

I'm pretty sure Yoshi's Island advocates the legalization of marijuana by making it very fun to use.

@Tao You repeat the Sony version like the little fanboy you are. Nintendo left the deal of the Playstation because they are evil. There is no other reason. You never though it was because Sony was a huge control freak megacorp who wanted to eat Nintendo?
Alos japanese games are not popular on PS4. Compared to western games the sales are ridiculous. Because Sony only promote western game and created an audience that only care about big budget games instead of focusing on the creativity of game design. That's why you call "shovelwares" games with low budget when the Wii was introducing indie gaming to a massive console audience. People like you are part of a cancerous audience and you're the reason the japanese videogames industry is collapsing.

@Coach_A I boycott japanese games on PS4. Smear campain from Sony always target japanese videogames on non-Sony consoles while Sony hugely favor their western blockbusters. It's time to make it stop. Sony's behavior is hurting the japanese videogames industry.

@Wickedspades lol, zero game design work in BOTW? Please name another open world game where you can do as much different actions? BOTW has been directed by a game designer. Horizon or God of War have been direced by story writters because Sony want to kill the japanese method to make videogames.

@Nintyfan lol. Sony entered on the console market with the specific objective to destroy Nintendo since Nintendo refused to be third party for their Playstation. Sony is so bitter about the vita failure they decided to fully focus on their western blockbusters to destroy the japanese industry as a punishment. They only buy exclusivities for japanese games they didn't fund to keep them away from the Steam market so they can't be as popular as their western blockbusters.
Sony is by far the most destructive megacorp in the videogame industry. Every time Sony dominate the industry videogames studios close and people loose their jobs. It didn't happen when the Wii and the DS dominated the videogame industry was very varied and flourishing.

@Tao No because it didn't happen? https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/horizon-zero-dawn/user-reviews
Horizon was just the usual western blockbuster. Considered good because it has a big budget. But has zero work in the game design department, and was partially developped by an army of underpaid chinese slaves.
No tell us why you are defending the biggest megacorp on the market who use all its power to kill the smaller competitors instead of making good games? Why do you want the death of the japanese industry and videogames diversity? Personalities like Jason Rubin or Shinji Mikami warned us about the destructive behemoth Sony was becoming but you didn't listen.

Persona 5 hasn't been review bombed. We all know who do this. Sony have always been a destructive force in the industry. They destroyed Sega and now they realize they can't kill Nintendo so they do everything they can to destroy the japanese industry and crush it with their western blockbusters. I'm warning people since years. Sony is a gigantic megacorp who just want to make billions and turn the videogames industry into their slaves and they don't care about game design. They don't have any game designer in administrative position, only business suits. Everytime you give money to Sony you're finding the death of the japanese industry and videogames diversity.

Why do people keep saying it's a Nintendo game when it's a Platinum game? Nintendo is not a homogenous megacorp it's a company made of different teams with their own craftmanship. And Platinum doesn't even belong to Nintendo. Nintendo only funded the game. It's so disrespectful for the developers who work on all these different games to think every game with the word Nintendo written on the box is made by the guys who make Mario.

EA games are made without the work of any game designer. Their gameplay is standardized and is lacking any kind of creativity. Even worse. The gameplay of games like Fifa are made to be frustrative on purpose to push the player to buy microtransactions. EA isn't the worst videogame company for the big profits it makes. It's the worst for completely denying the creativity and the art of game design. Everytime you buy a EA product you're funding people who do everything they can to kill the uniqueness of the videogame medium.

With Civilization, Fire Emblem and Valkyria Chronicles you have hundreds of hours of gaming in front of you.

@PCkid Maybe because they don't play the same at all. There are much more gameplay mechanics in BOTW than in any other open world AAA because the creative work of BOTW development was put in game design ideas, not into big budget graphics and standardized gameplay.

Devil Engine, Rolling Gunner and Danmaku Unlimited 3 are my favorite.

Sony will always try to destroy japanese videogames even if they have to push cheap american rip off like Playstation all stars batle or cheap chinese rip off like this game. And they mainly use their playstation profits to fund their american big budget AAA without any creative game design work. Everytime you buy a Sony product you're funding the death of the japanese industry and their unique japanese vision of videogames to put game design creativity as the main appeal of their games instead of big budget graphics and standardized gameplay that play all the same.

@LemonVivaLimon Well rhythmic games are usually about replayability and improving your score.

Ghost Trick, the Castlevania games, the Ace Attorney games, Layton games, Glory Days 2, Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier, Elite Beat Agents, Rhythm Heaven, Supersonic Warriors 2, Meteos, Civilization Revolution, Contra 4, Dark Spire, SMT, Etrian Odyssey, The Last Window, Warioware, so many good games on DS.

There is zero game designer working in EA. This company is an insult to videogames.

@nintendolie The bad dualshock of the PS2 with R2 and L2 buttons that broke and switch that could leak didn't stop the system to sell 150 millions copies.

We were starving of kart racers since years on the PS4 so we have no choice but getting CTR. While on the switch they got Mario Kart since the release. And american games will always be inferior to japanese games so Mario Kart beating CTR on system where they're both here is normal.

Sony entered on the consoles market with the main purpose to kill Nintendo and eat them. 25 years later the japanese industry has collapsed except Nintendo. Well done Sony...

@Haywired
Miyamoto thinks game design is an art where the game designer is an artist and has to be creative and tries things even if it fails. Of course he's wrong. Big megacorps like Sony created a market where game design has become a science that only needs to be standardized and optimized and where most consumers want the same controller over and over. Miyamoto is fighting big wallet companies with a toothpick.
