i feel like i say this every year

When the conference starts, won't be an issue.

Generally you can be pretty fair however:

1. You often present comments as fact or as judgement, rather than preference. They are not trying to get you to like it,. The argument gets murky. They don't want you to like it, well except for Breesus, people often are defending the quality of the Nintendo game in question. Things can be good, and you also not like them. It goes both ways.

2. You seem to buy Nintendo things and expect different outcomes? It's often confusing. And that's complicated by the idea that Nintendo does what it does well, and generally, outside of some obvious problems, does produce high quality software and products that people like.

3. You want Zelda on your PS4. F that idea. That's sort of an insult to someone who likes Nintendo. Plus I don't see you asking for Uncharted on the Switch or something. You don't see it, but it's kind of an anti-Nintendo stance to take since people who generally enjoy Nintendo, enjoy NINTENDO, and that means the whole package. The good and the bad. We don't need to rehash, but if Nintendo doesn't control the vertical, they'd lose a lot of their innovative charm. No one wants to give that up.

Regarding point #2 and #3, people don't want Nintendo to change much. Even if that means dealing with questionable decisions like the online piece, cloud saves, and general Video Game QoL issues. Is that a problem? Sure. But people see it as a philosophical issue mostly. The more they become like MS and Sony.....the more they become like MS and Sony. And that's a bad thing for a lot of people.

Oh boy.


I'll get to this when kids are asleep.

Just know, a lot of it is for show. Sometimes it's fun to rile up certain people here.

I know. But it is hard to tell when you want to have a serious conversation and when you want to stir the pot.

If it's "there's no way someone could NOT like Mario Kart", then I can't help you

While true, I actually agree with you about Mario Kart. I can't just exercise my dominance online in Nintendo games. They do too much to keep competition tight. Not going to lie, while I like MK, it's tough to enjoy the new versions when in MK64 I was allowed to routinely stomp people.

Online games aren't necessarily for fun, although Nintendo makes a lot of confounding decisions to make it so. I stopped playing Arms too for that reason.

And other than match-making, they've let skill rule Splatoon, which is why it's now my most played Switch game. I hope Tennis is the same, but I have my doubts.

But to flip it back, I get it. Most online games have terrible communities for that very fact. I think Splatoon rides the line well, and that's why it's successful. The individual matches where you get screwed might last 5 min. at worst, so it's tough to get angry.
