Nothing against Mario, but direct was just too much Mario and co for me. I was expecting Metroid Prime 4 to show once for all..., and F-zero is fucking dead given the poor reception of this....
did people really not like it or was it only contrarian Gankertards? We got fun 3rd parties and Mario instead of 10 identical weebshit RPGs and 10 farming games
>spy x game for pedos
Why play that all-ages shit when they can play Maitetsu that also has a e-boi voiced by the same slut but can fuck her. Spy Family game is for normalfags.
Some people only come for the big fuck you reveals. I actually thought this one was solid but it was definitely a result of a lot of small victories, no big kahuna.
Ganker will love anything if you put a nintendo logo on it. Turns out promising f-zero gay sex remake hd with 100 players online was a bad move for tendies, and prime 4 a bad move for tendo. hype all you want, you're stuck with farming games and unnecessary remakes of middling games.
>remakes and ports like the last like 6 directs
Seeing as we only get 2 a year now, that's 3 years of remakes, ports and remasters.
It's tiring. That Peach game was more original than a majority of games shown/
I thought it was pretty okay, but the Vanillaware game is what I'm most excited for and you don't even need a Switch to play it. Remakes are a total non-element for me, so a lot of announcements don't get any points from me.
Idk, most rpg i play on switch. It's def a nintendo thing, not a pc or Playstation thing for good 2d rpg. Ps hates rpg, pc hates rpg that isn't Baldurs Gate 3....
i don't really understand people getting excited for remakes. most, if not all the time, they don't really fix anything the old games had. yeah glitches obviously but at that point you might as well just port it over normally. it just feels like people are so creatively bankrupt now that they'll take rehashes of memories that we should've just held to them normally, instead of wanting companies to ultimately butcher them because people can't get over the fact that their childhoods are gone.
have you considered that many of us aren't rehashing memories but making new ones? not everyone has played TTYD you know. I didn't even know Mario vs Donkey Kong had Donkey Kong GB's gameplay style until I watched the remake's trailer. I thought it was about controlling the mini mario toys. It looks much more fun than I expected.
Nobody who has played a remake has had a better experience than someone, even 20 years after the fact. Always and forever until the end of the time, this is the truth.
By being hideous and disgusting and instantly forgotten about except for the iron boots thing? Come now. The obnoxious ootfags aren't spamming the 3DS remake, they're spamming the 20fps original.
>not everyone has played TTYD you know
And nothing stops them from playing it right now. Why does it take some halfhearted coat of New Thing to get someone excited about a game that's been great for decades but they decided not to play it? I don't begrudge people for playing remakes, but that's a retarded argument.
> And nothing stops them from playing it right now
the fact that they own a Switch, not a Gamecube, stops them from playing it now. If you mean piracy, yeah I can steal food from walmart too, doesn't mean they should just stop selling it. And not everyone likes playing Gamecube games on PC. Not everyone even has a PC. It's been 20 years and TTYD still has graphical glitches with no workaround https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Paper_Mario%3A_The_Thousand-Year_Door > Why does it take some halfhearted coat of New Thing to get someone excited about a game that's been great for decades but they decided not to play it?
I wasn't interested in Paper Mario decades ago but now I am. My taste has changed and I'm more open to turn-based games now. There's also plenty of zoomers who were in their dad's balls when this game came out
Its because most people dont emulate anything, and no one wants to buy this shit second hand, so a remake is essentially the only way to play a game like TTYD
Emulation is a minority of all games. It's probably not even 10,000 people doing it total. >b-but me and all my 3rd world friends-
are too poor to do anything other than pirate, which is why you think its so common. Most people don't care enough to emulate.
>It's probably not even 10,000 people doing it total.
You're a fucking idiot if you think only 10,000 people worldwide emulate. In the US alone, it's probably a million+ people who emulate.
Most people don't emulate things because they don't CARE and their phone is their life, maybe a pc,laptop or tablet, also a switch; 99% of "gamers" these days.
Boco, you been here as long as i have. You KNOW current day idiots don't know or care to emulate.
Emulation, while nice, isn't usually the best option. It requires a lot of setup and emulated games often look like shit on modern displays— that's assuming they work at all. I'm not saying this applies to TTYD, but (for example) PS2 games are a 50/50 crapshoot of visual bugs and input delay and outright just not fucking working unless you're on some fucking AMD card. Remasters/Remakes are generally far more convenient for the majority of people.
I don't want to argue against emulation; being able to play old games is nice. But being able to play them natively at higher resolutions without any chance of stretched UI or fucked visual bugs or something vanishing offscreen because a 4:3 display was assumed is nicer. It's as simple as that.
>it requires a lot of set up >download emulator >download rom/iso >set up controller >play game
there's almost no difference and anything else is just a small extra step that takes one minute more
>download emulator >look for bios >make sure input device is working and there isn't some fucked binding issue because you're probably not using the controller the game was made for >download rom/iso >make sure it's not some fucked old scene release that barely functions or some other scuffed shit >game doesn't work >look up the game on the emulator's wiki and pray that someone else has the autism to figure out what combination of patch/rendering mode/obscure options gets it working without dipping down to 3fps because you looked at a shopkeeper >game still looks like ass because it was designed for 480i displays >try deinterlaced mode >looks worse >try using emulator hax to run the game at 1080p natively >UI breaks and character vanish off the right side of the screen during cutscenes
Again, I'm not saying this applies to every game out there, but when given the option between having to use an emulator and getting a good HD port for modern systems, I will take the HD port almost every fucking time.
Or are you telling me you'd rather go play Okami over Okami HD? Or KH1/KH2 over KH1.5+2.5?
>old scene release

it's takes 5 seconds to google a bios and another 5 seconds for settings if your emulator is that bad

People would rather not bother emulating or hunting down old hardware that is maybe overpriced and may not work, to a remaster/remake that makes the process of playing an old game that much easier.
Why do people have netflix and other subscriptions? Because it streamlines wanting to watch something from a couch or from bed. Convenience is king.
>I'm actually really surprised people didn't like this Direct.
I thought the scrimblo renaissance was done, turns out we weren't done feeding Arlo's whims.
People got their hopes up way too much like always. Retards actually thought there'd be another DK64 game or whatever and are never happy unless their favorite characters get the love they feel they're so deserving of.

gee I don't know how anyone couldn't be hype for all the GAMES!!!
Is not what people was expecting, this is not a Ganker being contrarian as usual case, just do quick read on news sites comment sections, twitter, youtube and so on...
>Don't release a single F-zero game for TWENTY ENTIRE YEARS >first new f-zero game is NSO slop that will be shut down in 6 months
Yeah why are the F-Zero chuds upset, they are so ungrateful
people just like to hype themselves to the oblivion every single direct also it doesn't help that the mayority of the tendo fanbase only know and care about a handfull of Ip's also have massive hatred for anime style games with some exceptions and they always snore with third parties unless is something really popular and shilled by e-celebs, also here on Ganker everyone hates everything so it's not reliable to use Ganker as a metric, imo the direct was just fine, showed some cool stuff that I liked.
forgot to mention that switch it's also ending so you will not see some big game anymore, prime 4 will probably be the last one and also crossgen, all new and bigger games will be switch 2.
it was like 90% ports and remakes, mostly of mario stuff
the switch is clearly on its last legs, hopefully they have something actually new in the works
TTYD "remake" looks ugly as shit in that new paper-style. There's no fucking changes or new content to it, either. The new princess peach game has severe frame rate issues. The new mario kart characters and the tomb raider trilogy were the only good things. >Fucking Mario vs DK game >fucking f zero 99 shit no one asked for
fuck nutendo
No. Why would they, the Switch is still selling like hotcakes.
I'm getting real tired of your excuses mario brothers! Every years you say you're getting a new handheld as powerful as a ps4 Pro, I think you might be playing your switches for the next 5 years!
tbh I'd take these remakes over 500 indie farming and shitty indie slop bring presented, but I think the whole remake shit is very misguided. and especially ENDING on yet another fucking remake was insanely dumb on their part.
Surprised people are mad about f zero. Isn't it pretty kino Nintendo are bringing it back with soul? I don't own a switch but I'll always appreciate Nintendo caring for their IPs over splurging out cash grabs, so when one gets revived its treated with respect
only valid F-zero games for the so called "f-zero fans" are GX and X to a less extend, people wanted a GX port with enhanced visuals and online. And with this wave of gamecube games rereleases (prime remaster, pikmin 1 +2, Paper Mario) it just made sense...
As for me, I'm still dissapointed because since I didn't fall the paid online meme, I won't get the chance to play this, A GX port would have been better, at least I could play it offline...
Honestly?
I think it's because all the big announcements (new Saga, the new vanillaware game, eiyuuden) are multiplats.
The biggest new exclusives we got are a romhack of SNES FZero, ports from DS AND 3DS and a remake of Paper Mario TTYD.
Nintendo's big reveal was a remake of a 20 year old game that runs at 30 FPS and will be exactly the same game as the one you can play on Dolphin right now.
Also F-Zero 99 should've been F-Zero x 99 and been based on F-Zero X or GX, not the dogshit original.
>fzero 99 should have been an original game with original tracks
Cant you see the point of 99 is to put the feelers out? Its only a free game for online subs, they're seeing if there's enough interest to do more F Zero.
how does putting feelers out mean they can't make new tracks and new music? I guarantee this game shares 0 code with the snes game. they intentionally designed it to be nostalgia bait dogshit
Mario spinoff fans ate fucking good in this Direct, but for everyone else, this Direct didn't really offer much. I can't think of an announcement in this Direct that both excited me and wasn't Mario related.
not true. mario rpg could have been a new game. same with paper mario. same with mario vs donkey kong. same with another code. same with fzero 99. these aren't low effort ports like pikmin 1&2 or homework assignments like metroid prime remake, these are devs putting the same amount of time and effort that could have gone into a new game but making a remake instead because they think nostalgia sells and can't come up with new ideas
I actually liked it well enough. I don't give a shit about most Nintendo games, but the Vanillaware game, TR remasters, Shin-chan game and Spy x Family game looked interesting.
YOU SHITS ALL COMPLAIN NINTENDO IS SHIT AND DOES NOTHING NEW, BUT WHY HAVEN'T THEY DIED THEN? SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC SALES FAILURES? HAD AN ENTIRE GEN OF BAD RELEASES (DESPITE WII U FAILING, ALL IT'S 1ST PARTY WAS LIFTED FROM SINKING WII U SHIP AND FORGOTTEN)?
>splatoon 3 dlc
looks like they're adding roguelike elements?we don't know for sure but i'm not interested honestly. >mario vs dk remake
super weird that they went with a remake instead of a new game, maybe they want to save new concepts for the next system >mario rpg remake
cool that they're adding superbosses, still wack that they're using this plastic look instead of going for HD2D or just porting it normally. i'll probably replay it on an emulator this year instead. >another code remake
unfathomably happy for the 3 dudes that like this series. i mean that sincerely, i have my own old niche weebshit that will probably never return but this coming out of nowhere gives me a little hope. >princess peach showtime
probably the only game shown that i'll get at launch. obviously not GOTY material or anything but it looks fun and unique, like wario world for girls. >saga ports and new entry
see my response to another code. also unlimited saga has always interested me i should scoop that. >tomb raider remastered
the new demastered artstyle looks so bad they included an option to turn it off lmao. glad we're getting anything that isn't the modern reboot trilogy though. >detective pikachu returns

cope and seethe >warioware move it
looks kinda fun, wish it was a little more in line with smooth moves if they're gonna go all in on motion controls though. >paper mario ttyd
here's to paper mario schizos ruining another decade of mario discussion, also 64 deserved it more as its a significantly better game but its not like i would have bought a remake of that either.
it sucked, it was all remakes, nothing intresting being brought to the table, its unironically never been more over for Nintendo then it is now. were reaching Wii U levels of indifference.
If you liked it, more power to you. Nothing they showed off excited me, but that's to be expected as we near the end of the Switch's lifespan. Hopefully the new console will be announced early next year so that the spring direct can announce actually cool shit. And hopefully Nintendo learned from the Wii U's flop and prepared a solid lineup of launch titles for it. I assume that's why some big titles (Prime 4, FE4 remake ) have been absent for a while, to create the biggest impact when they're shown off on the new system.
>shiren 6 reveal >a follow up to the shin-chan game that got an english release >new successor to moon rpg by the moon rpg dev >new rpg by the runefactory devs
Why did NoA choose to not showcase any of this stuff even though all of this was in the Japanese Direct and even though all of this will be getting English releases?
Also yet another Direct where Japan showed Samurai Remnant but the English Directs did not. And that's getting an English release too.
Nothing against Mario, but direct was just too much Mario and co for me. I was expecting Metroid Prime 4 to show once for all..., and F-zero is fucking dead given the poor reception of this....
Actual F-Zero fans are loving the game.
Are those actual fans in the room with you right now?
>Metroid Prime 4
It was cancelled years ago anon. Metroid is just as popular as it should be.
pretty much this. it was meh for me. it was a direct for a system at the end of its life trying to milk the last few coins.

direct featured 10 identical weebshit RPGs tho
no it was only like 3 this time. Saga, that weird remake no one asked for, and the spy x game for pedos

As for me, I'm still dissapointed because since I didn't fall the paid online meme, I won't get the chance to play this, A GX port would have been better, at least I could play it offline...
Only the anime/jrpg haters hated the direct.
Fuck those fags. It was great. Not an S but an easy A tier direct.
>I'm actually really surprised people didn't like this Direct.
Why would I be excited for games I've already played?
>memoryholes starfield in just 10 minutes
I liked the direct. Thanks nintendo.
Honestly?
I think it's because all the big announcements (new Saga, the new vanillaware game, eiyuuden) are multiplats.
The biggest new exclusives we got are a romhack of SNES FZero, ports from DS AND 3DS and a remake of Paper Mario TTYD.
>caring what Ganker thinks
my opinion is better than yours
>caring what Ganker thinks
not one(1) new 1st party game announced
>ports
>remakes that look soulless
Why?
Nintendo's big reveal was a remake of a 20 year old game that runs at 30 FPS and will be exactly the same game as the one you can play on Dolphin right now.
Also F-Zero 99 should've been F-Zero x 99 and been based on F-Zero X or GX, not the dogshit original.
no. fzero 99 should have been an original game with original tracks
>fzero 99 should have been an original game with original tracks
Cant you see the point of 99 is to put the feelers out? Its only a free game for online subs, they're seeing if there's enough interest to do more F Zero.
Not worth any sort of presentation
>just don't advertise your game bro
Tis only a direct lad
how does putting feelers out mean they can't make new tracks and new music? I guarantee this game shares 0 code with the snes game. they intentionally designed it to be nostalgia bait dogshit
Unironically. If the next standalone F-Zero game scales back to 30 players I'll be kind of disappointed. 100 is so fucking good for F-Zero.
I just don't want them to cancel it like mario 99, that shit was fun.
idk i saw new SaGa and i was content, then again i'm fairly easy to please.
Mario spinoff fans ate fucking good in this Direct, but for everyone else, this Direct didn't really offer much. I can't think of an announcement in this Direct that both excited me and wasn't Mario related.
what are the chances all these remakes flop and nintendo starts making new games again?
Slim to nil.
They are saving the new games for switch retard, is not that hard to figure, these ports are easy and cheap to made to fill the gap
not true. mario rpg could have been a new game. same with paper mario. same with mario vs donkey kong. same with another code. same with fzero 99. these aren't low effort ports like pikmin 1&2 or homework assignments like metroid prime remake, these are devs putting the same amount of time and effort that could have gone into a new game but making a remake instead because they think nostalgia sells and can't come up with new ideas
I hate to say it Anon, but those games are 20 years old.
There are millions of children who weren't even alive back then. This is for them, not us.
ok, but they have a service for releasing old games called nintendo online.
Well, thats just greed. This way they can charge you 60 bucks for it.
not me, and hopefully not anyone else, but I know people are retarded remake sloppa drinkers so we might as well accept our brave new world
Kids, Anon. Kids who want them, and parents looking for good gifts. Thats gonna be a huge percentage of buyers.
I can see the direct being good if i was a retard who never heard of emulation
Ah, here's another one.
I actually liked it well enough. I don't give a shit about most Nintendo games, but the Vanillaware game, TR remasters, Shin-chan game and Spy x Family game looked interesting.
Directs were always shit, the Smash babies just started realising once they got their bottle taken away from them
everyone hopped on directs hoping to see their favorite character coming to smash
I'd rather just scroll through twitter to see the annoucements.
short summary?
YA KNOW, IT'S KINDA FUNNY.....
YOU SHITS ALL COMPLAIN NINTENDO IS SHIT AND DOES NOTHING NEW, BUT WHY HAVEN'T THEY DIED THEN? SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC SALES FAILURES? HAD AN ENTIRE GEN OF BAD RELEASES (DESPITE WII U FAILING, ALL IT'S 1ST PARTY WAS LIFTED FROM SINKING WII U SHIP AND FORGOTTEN)?
This is the worst Nintendo Direct I've ever seen in my life. I'm *this* close to just abandoning everything and rejopining the Sony crew.
Just tune in to the Absolute State of Play in 5 mins and you'll level out bro
Or I'll sell my Switch and buy a PS5. Although apparently I have to sell 2 Switches to afford it.
>t. not a falselagger, trust me bro!
just buy a deck
>splatoon 3 dlc
looks like they're adding roguelike elements?we don't know for sure but i'm not interested honestly.
>mario vs dk remake
super weird that they went with a remake instead of a new game, maybe they want to save new concepts for the next system
>mario rpg remake
cool that they're adding superbosses, still wack that they're using this plastic look instead of going for HD2D or just porting it normally. i'll probably replay it on an emulator this year instead.
>another code remake
unfathomably happy for the 3 dudes that like this series. i mean that sincerely, i have my own old niche weebshit that will probably never return but this coming out of nowhere gives me a little hope.
>princess peach showtime
probably the only game shown that i'll get at launch. obviously not GOTY material or anything but it looks fun and unique, like wario world for girls.
>saga ports and new entry
see my response to another code. also unlimited saga has always interested me i should scoop that.
>tomb raider remastered
the new demastered artstyle looks so bad they included an option to turn it off lmao. glad we're getting anything that isn't the modern reboot trilogy though.
>detective pikachu returns
imagine playing anything pokemon lmao.
>unicorn overlord
don't like anything vanillaware makes besides muramasa, doubtful this will change that.
>luigi's mansion 2 hd
surprised this didn't get ported sooner. hd alone won't won't fix its issues though.
>f-zero fortnite
cope and seethe
>warioware move it
looks kinda fun, wish it was a little more in line with smooth moves if they're gonna go all in on motion controls though.
>paper mario ttyd
here's to paper mario schizos ruining another decade of mario discussion, also 64 deserved it more as its a significantly better game but its not like i would have bought a remake of that either.
it sucked, it was all remakes, nothing intresting being brought to the table, its unironically never been more over for Nintendo then it is now. were reaching Wii U levels of indifference.
>remake
>jrpg
>farming game (japanese)
>dlc
>remake
dogshit company actually kys whoever supports it
This was the worst Nintendo Direct I have ever seen, and that's saying something.
It's so over.
If you liked it, more power to you. Nothing they showed off excited me, but that's to be expected as we near the end of the Switch's lifespan. Hopefully the new console will be announced early next year so that the spring direct can announce actually cool shit. And hopefully Nintendo learned from the Wii U's flop and prepared a solid lineup of launch titles for it. I assume that's why some big titles (Prime 4, FE4 remake ) have been absent for a while, to create the biggest impact when they're shown off on the new system.
>shiren 6 reveal
>a follow up to the shin-chan game that got an english release
>new successor to moon rpg by the moon rpg dev
>new rpg by the runefactory devs
Why did NoA choose to not showcase any of this stuff even though all of this was in the Japanese Direct and even though all of this will be getting English releases?
Also yet another Direct where Japan showed Samurai Remnant but the English Directs did not. And that's getting an English release too.
Why are they like this?
