Cynaris Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Oh Nintendo, you and your 2001 visuals. I would say "never change", but 1. Please change. 2. I know you would never do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you would never do that. Ah yeah, that eternal debate... Visuals are important. Gameplay too... The thing is to get a balance between both, because you'll forget a pretty game without depth/story/fun as fast as a really ugly game with amazing controls/gameplay/lore...

The thing is to get a balance between both, because you'll forget a pretty game without depth/story/fun as fast as a really ugly game with amazing controls/gameplay/lore... This could be a valid argument if there wouldn't ve tons of games doing both well. Problem is, Nintendo hardly innovates in any front. Not in visuals, not in gameplay. You get soo much of the same things with the "just above acceptable" packaging. And frankly, they are starting to fall behind even on gameplay front. Rocket League in a sense already does what Mario kart does, but better. Yeah, it's not a racing game, but in every other area, it has a striking resemblance. (Then again Mario Kart is probably one of the better games Nintendo released lately, hell, that game even pushes the console in terms of visuals) Edited November 13, 2015 by Cynaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that business strategy works for them to continue earning profits (after all, Nintendo is a profit-based organisation) for the foreseeable future, why use a new business strategy?

Nintendo has been losing money for YEARS. They started making some last year, but who knows how long that lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade343 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 profits? Nintendo has been losing money for YEARS. They started making some last year, but who knows how long that lasts. Money ≠ profits, mind you. You can earn a lot of profits but have little money (or cash, as some people prefer to call it). Nintendo has enough cash to sustain itself for quite some time. As for profits, they have been earning profits for a long time up until two years ago (and earning profits now). What you might be referring to is that their profit margins are dropping, which is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticMoss Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Really cloud? whatever big money maker. Still say shantae is a way better character to put on smash bros but she isn't as well own i guess. Edited November 13, 2015 by SarahApple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a good example, Fallout 4. Not games like Smash Bros or or Mario Kart, they have good fun but they are far from mechanically in depth in terms of game play when in comparison to other games.

Oooh Smash players won't like you if you say that their game has no depth like other fighting games... :3 Personally, I just laugh at their "meta" as much as I laugh at Warframe's "meta" : people forget that they play a game & think they're rocket scientists...

At least i hope they're not really have the children screaming mentality. You'll also typically keep groaning at a game with bad visuals. Let me play Legend of Zelda in peace pls.

TheErebus. Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Let me play Legend of Zelda in peace pls. It has the most amazing and stunning visuals ever. Because it's made to look like that and looks great as it is. Fallout 4 is an example of a game that has bad visuals (aside from lighting) due to the textures. Smash Bros. isn't a game that needs stellar graphics, no fighting game really needs graphics that "wow" you in the same sense that Metro Last Light does. It instead needs tight controls, a good feel when it comes to fighting and a focus on gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
