No games..... just cardboard

me, a grown man in 1999

"ah, time to go to the local electronic store and see what games they have for my favorite home console system, the nintendo 64"

glances slowly along the shelves at the games on display, one by one, until one in particular catches my eye...



"EUUGHHH!!! WHAT. THE. FUCK. NINTENDO IS OVERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

that night, burns n64 in a trash heap, drinks a surge, and then watches an episode of futurama

[TooB]

why are you defending L I T E R A L cardboard

and likely the software, which is probably where most of the price lies

mario odyssey is a product designed with kids in mind. mario odyssey is also good and not made of FUCKING CARDBOARD.

i'm not actually angry or anything. switch still has core games coming out intended for mature gamers such as myself. but i think it's weird how nintendo has such a huge amount of "people" willing to defend their every decision even after the era of WII MUSIC, which everyone was laughing at even at the time of its announcement.

[C.Mongler]

mario odyssey was made for all the gaymers, not specifically literal 10-year-olds

wii music was also targeted towards all the gaymers, and thus no one gave shit because it wasn't actually a game (also it was entirely made to chase the high of wii sports, which i needn't remind anyone is the 3rd highest selling game of all fucking time, so i can kind of understand why they made the effort even if it was fucktarded). they also put out a shallow-ass music game during the great war of rock band and guitar hero, two EXTREMELY POPULAR and EXTREMELY PERIPHERAL BASED games (both moving collectively about 38 million units), so it wasn't really any wonder that it didn't do that great when you could flail  your arms to toot a fake flute to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or for a little more money, play a game with some actual depth and songs people listened to during that time

these are apple and oranges arguments you're making here buddo, if you want to make a solid case, convince me the difference in appeal between labo and something like hatchimals or shopkins; nintendo is going after literal toys, not necessarily video games here. i don't get fingerlings either, but that doesn't mean they don't sell like crack in baltimore

including some critical assessments on the concept from literal 10-year-olds would also be helpful for making your case as well, as i've yet to hear any actual kids knock it; my two dad friends in my local switch group said their 7 & 6-year-old kids are already begging for this shit lol, even my 14-year-old brother (he's a lego fiend tbf) told me he wants a switch now
