    I’m writing my opinion in to Nintendo Power. When that editor who’s photo was a plushie of a slime from dragon quest sees it, he’ll bring it right to Howard Phillips

        Also wasn’t gonna buy one anyway but will pretend to have been excited as hell before the price thing. I’ll add that they should make another F-Zero game and have Hideo Kojima write the story.

            I knew they’d eat shit on this one in like 2019. Nintendo goes full hubris mode any time they see success, iwata and fils Aimee not being the evil ceos in charge and more hedge fundy guys taking over. I got a switch in 2021 knowing this all full well but there were enough games to make me want one by then. Things have only gotten to be more of a ripoff as time went by as well cause they had a giant hit and Nintendo always hits the squeeze and the evil ceos who navigated that issue sorta okay aside from the wiiu in the past and but managed the 3ds price crisis okay and did course correct before too much wiiu trouble happened. Hard to course correct when the console is already something thst works conceptually and is an iterative upgrade. Unless they try a wiiu2 when this fails. Also 1st party Nintendo slop has become more and more of a ripoff. Mario vs Donkey Kong or the DK Country wii game remake are easy example. My retired parents got the $50 gba HD remake and have had a great time, I’ve already played the original and cake walked the game when I borrowed it. Wouldn’t be worth a dime to me, add new levels, like double the count or more, which is easy, it’s a simple gsme and I’d have been okay to shell out like $40 or so.

          Considering YouTube live streams about games are usually filled with incels complaining about woke, I hope video game studios have a standard policy of ignoring them.

        Are they even interested in knowing what peeps think? Ill bet they aren’t.

        Email survey is the easiest to manipulate. I bet they publish the most positive ones, fudge the numbers, maybe toss in some very soft dissent for flavor and realism and voila!

        An apparent net positive opinion poll, more advertisement of the new feature set, serving double-duty in reducing appearance of backlash and shamin’ away the naysays! Nintendo always has had tight narrative control.
