It's not going to work. Nintendo know that Palworld is too popular to shut down without colossal backlash. It's why they couldn't do anything about Genshin ripping off BotW either.
They don't need to do anything, Palworld is already dying lmao
Do you think it's an MMO or something? game only takes a week to beat..
It's an EA survival crafting. People play get bored and pop back in for the big updates. Also it sold 2.8 billion on a 2000¥ budget. I'm sure they made ROI and then some.
It's not some online MMO you moron
You're right, it's a multiplayer focused co-operative survival crafting game.
the level of grinding could've fooled me
>new console
>palgay sperg about his ARK game
Black folk
Nintendo knows that if they go after Palworld they'd have to go up against Microsoft's pajeet 12incher
It would unironically be over for pokemon if Microsoft secures palworld as exclusively not for PS5 and Switch.
I hope they can pop out plushies/merch soon to capitalize on their popular pals
How did genshin rip off botw???
It does work, because nobody wants to be left out of Nintendo collabs. The overwhelming majority of Japanese vtubers are holding a Switch. They will kiss corporate ass to avoid getting backlash from a company that is notoriously petty.
In Japan, vtubers are on the same tier as idols, but with fictional avatars. That's why they always have "intro streams" and have suspiciously deep lore and excessive character development despite being fictional characters.
In the west, they are just e-girls with anime avatars. That is why you get shit like tuning in to Mori's avatar being a dead puppet in the corner while she's off screen after telling everyone she's taking a dump, or 35 4th wall breaks every stream, or having to sit through a vtuber explain why it's okay for them to work with a bunch of guys.
Japan puts them forth as idols, hiding their flaws and putting up a lot of showmanship. The rest of the world puts them forth as celebrity e-girls who you should simp for. Japanese vtubers take dancing and singing lessons to give a big performance on their birthdays, while western vtubers have "mental health day" schedules that look like Ganker E3 bingo cards.
Fuwamoco is an exception because they clearly put in so much effort to maintain the facade, it's frickin' adorable.
Are Koreans similar? What you describe sounds similar to their carefully managed music idols.
>They really believe Nintendo would shut down the game that acts as free advertisement and garners future pokemon fans for them.
It only helps that the "fans" of this game do nothing but talk about fricking pokemon in the game that isn't pokemon. They do it for free.
It's kind of sad when you think about it.
The absolute state of Nintendo
fake and gay
OP is a homosexual
um, jannies? can we autosage this one too?
thanks!
I think its funny how everyone who sees palworld immediately think "they are stealing shit" and make it into a big deal by either supporting it or trying to avoid it, but then fricking Nintendo of all companies does nothing about it. At this point this is more of a drama that people want instead of something that is actuaelly happening.
Whenever anyone says 'brand loyalty' I want you to replace it with 'corporate brainwashing' and you'll understand why.
Its kinda funny that people brainwashed themselves
Or is it a sequela of console warring?
It's derived from console warring.
Hell, did you ever wonder why they're mad about pokemon in particular when people call it an Ark clone just as much?
>Toyko Sports reports that, according to a talent agency source, talent have been advised not to mention the game in case there are issues.
>“We have told our talent not to mention Palworld on social media or in public,” the source said. “This was done out of consideration for the Pokémon side as an agency. This decision was made in consideration of future potential collaborations.”
Kek this is Nijisanji isn't it
They've been streaming SV recently while everyone else is playing Palworld kek.
Only Haachama with her razing group played another Nintendo game during the Palworld boom so far, so I guess Nintendo didn't go for Cover yet.
FRICK KUROSANJI #FREE SELEN
>This decision was made in consideration of future potential collaborations.
Another reason why nintendo is cancer. Can't be honest or do anything that might piss them off or they'll get revenge.
The actual reason Kotaku got blacklisted from them was because they filed a FOIA request for a union dispute NoA had, it wasn't piracy or leaks or anything. Nintendo has always been petty if you don't do what it wants, even negative criticism has to be given in the "right" way or they will blacklist you.
Yeah because Kotaku would turn down prime Nintendo clickbait like that. Also you're acting as if Nintendo is a blacklist happy company when currently it's just Kotaku and I think PCgamer.
Why PC Gamer, half the time they're Nintendo fanboys for some reason
Same reason as Kotaku, pro piracy articles.
>even negative criticism has to be given in the "right" way or they will blacklist you.
If that were the case literally every video game journalist would be blacklisted by Nintendo at this point since they aren't exactly nice with most of their games. Only the big titles like mainline Mario and Zelda get praise consistently.
Anyone who actually rips into Nintendo games like any other and more importantly, blames Nintendo/questions why it was made that way, gets blacklisted. You would never see a criticism of Nintendo to the same degree you would say, Ubisoft or Konami or Sega because everyone knows if you dig deeper to criticize them, you're done in the industry.
>Anyone who actually rips into Nintendo games like any other and more importantly, blames Nintendo/questions why it was made that way, gets blacklisted
Which would be literally every video game journalist at this point because they've all ripped into Nintendo for one reason or another.
>You would never see a criticism of Nintendo to the same degree you would say, Ubisoft or Konami or Sega
You mean the companies that rarely see criticism?
When was the last anyone actually said anything about these companies? Sega alone has a lot under their belt especially with Atlus but look at the defence force for the changes made to P3R and the lack of reaction to localizers preemptively altering Yakuza. To say that receive criticism is ludicrous and a flat out rejection of reality
>Sega alone has a lot under their belt
Remember that time they filed false DMCAs and no one said anything about it?
>Ubisoft or Konami or Sega
>rarely see criticism
What the frick are you talking about?
>Ubisoft
The posterchild for bland open world design, this is eternal and ongoing.
>Konami
They don't have "recent" criticisms because they don't do anything visible anymore, but it's well known that they're neglecting beloved series. Also, the monetization structure for their arcade machines is totally fricked and DDR is being undercut everywhere by a guy who they sued out of business years ago but you would only hear about this if you were into rhythm games.
>Sega
Has been getting ripped for almost two decades for mishandling Sonic and is currently getting blasted for paywalling NG+ in Infinite Wealth.
>DDR is being undercut everywhere by a guy who they sued out of business years ago
Please explain
Christ almighty are you even paying attention to the conversation?
Journalists anon. Not us.
>and is currently getting blasted for paywalling NG+ in Infinite Wealth.
You know the fun thing about that? Most journalists are avoiding saying that it's a bad thing by saying that "fans are angry".
Journos definitely directly criticized this, and Sonic games get blasted via reviews every time there's a new one.
>Another reason why nintendo is cancer.
You're saying it as if Nintendo is doing anything here when I reality it's nintendo games that usually bring in the big viewers for them. In other words, they're preemptively covering their hides.
>Someone does something
>NEENENDOO MUST BE BEHIND IT
Utterly and completely mindbroken
Another Nijisanji L
>Be the odd one out when everyone else has gone all in playing Palworld.
>Force them to play poke garbage instead in the midst of controversy.
Honestly what are they thinking. It makes them and tpc look even worse.
>moronic streamer agencies
>video game industry
Vtubers fricking love Palworld and give absolutely zero fricks about the Pokemon BS. The only way to astroturf it it would be to convince their agencies to ban them from it, and I don't see that happening which how rabid they are for it. Nobodys buying Palworld after seeing a golfer talk about it on local news because nobody who'd ever play Palworld is watching golfers on the local news.
Look I know that you keep getting bullied about graduations on /vt/, but you really have to keep it there.
Yeah thats not gonna help because the actual video game celebrities the Vtubers are playing it non stop.
Does Japans actual media look at streamers and or vtubers as real celebrities? Just curious because the American media does not.
absolutely, they are literally marketed everywhere
Vtubers are just idols in Japan only with "secret" identities.
Hoe-girlve isn't streamers, they are idols that mostly stream
You can tell a difference by them not talking about politics, something normal streamers can't stop doing
RIP Coco
AAAIIIEEE NO MORE MARIKART TOURNAMENT FOR HOe-girlVE
>japanese celebrities
But Hoe-girlve girls have already played Palworld. It's already too late.
>Nintendo: CONSIDER THIS MERCY!
Based. All palworlders need to be euthanized and banished from society.
Good thing no one gives a frick about celebrities or Japanese celebrities.
Nintendo can't seriously be releasing the Switch 2 with an LCD screen. The Switch OLED will mog it, DOA.
nobody cares
>Nintendo can't seriously be releasing the Switch 2 with an LCD screen. The Switch OLED will mog it, DOA.
Watch it having LEDs
It's Nintendo, they look for every excuse to sell things twice so expected to see LED base model then OLED several years later
They can IF they wait until March 2025 and slash the price for OLED Switch for Holiday 2024.
That's the smartest strategy going forward although they won't do that because they're stupid.
Their whole deal is using depracated tech, be glad it's not a resistive touch screen
LCD is better for longer lasting tech anyway.
Friendly Reminder that DSP was right about Nintendo https://youtu.be/u1MV-1S1jgU?si=CK6CVTP9ZtGmo8_M&t=35
>nu-Ganker will unironically listen to DSP
Christ
Jap devs are shit anyways, they can hire talent literally anywhere lol. asiatic Island furious a game that wasn't theirs finally did well lmao.
But Japanese vtubers have and still are streaming a ton of palworld.
>Nintendo turning feral
Hopefully their brand is ruined, tired of their predatory practices targeting children with their products as well as suing adults that try to do anything with their brands.
So you hate the rest of the industry too right?
