>Nintendo announces over 5 new first-party titles + a remake and remasters of previous titles
>the budget of all these games combined probably doesn't amount to the budget of the new Spider-Man game
No WONDER Sony is panicking over losing COD. Both Sony and Microsoft have nothing, they release at best 5 first parties per generation. Chasing graphics was a mistake.
AAA gaming budgets are far too bloated to sustain itself, every new game costs at least 100m to make and 6 years to release full of bugs. This is unsustainable.
remakes yay
>peach game
>warioware sequel
>pikmin sequel
>mario sequel
>mario rpg remake
>luigi mansion port
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Is the Peach game a full game, or a side thing for Mario RPG? The way they announced it was confusing.
I think it was more of a teaser of her own separate game. They were just saying that one of the characters (Peach) was going its own game or starring in one.
They only teased the gameplay (strange), but it's a whole new game. But if you think about it, if they showed only "new peach game in development" it wouldn't be enough.
Reminds of the first tease of that Yoshi Crafted World first teaser.
I thought it might be like Bowser's Fury, which is a separate game (kind of), but it's a pack in with 3D World. It looks like it could be in the same engine as Mario RPG.
>It looks like it could be in the same engine as Mario RPG.
It doesn't even follow the same art style (engine doesn't matter, Nintendo has been using Unreal for a bunch of games)
Also, they didn't even attached the Peach segment to the Mario RPG trailer official yt video. It's a Standalone Peach game.
>The way they announced it was confusing
why are people here so moronic? it's a different game, but it's coming out next year
If your iq is in single digits maybe. What was confusing about it?
The fact that they announced it as part of the same presentation, implying it was part of the same package.
Did you think the Pokémon DLC was a part of Mario RPG too?
>but Mario isn't the only one getting a NEW GAME
>cut to gameplay of an obviously different game starring Peach
>Geez guys I don't know is this the same game or what?
Forget double digits, I'm not even sure your IQ is in the positives at this point.
Yeah, but it can be a separate game while being a pack-in.
And the whole thing's quality looks kind of second rate, so...
Anon if it was a pack-in they would have made that clear. What a weird assumption to make.
Nintendo have literally done this multiple times before when re-releasing old games, since it gives people an incentive to buy the game again. It's not that crazy an assumption.
Yes and in every case (Bowser's Fury, Bowser's Minions, etc.) they made it clear as fricking day that it was a pack-in for the actual game. There is nothing about the Peach game that even hints at it not being its own separate game other than your moronation.
Maybe it was wishful thinking.
It's crazy to assume that when they introduced it as a new game.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - 3D Mario/Zelda notwithstanding, Nintendo is basically the world's leading AA dev, and I don't say that disparagingly.
That is why Nintendo will never release a high-end console, their whole business is based on being behind two generations to cut costs. This is why they still make the most profit from selling hardware.

For our own good, I hope that at least they keep being like that. Too many good ones were lost trying to make the next COD or GTA, in terms of success.
They hit the equivalent of AAA numbers with a AA budget, I don't think they're going to be chasing multiplat dragons anytime soon
Nintendo also has a whole new Goemon game, that they're hiding from Westerners right now(this was in the Japanese direct).
Can we like b***h at them to make sure it gets a Western release?
No one cares about goemon except beaners
Well you should start caring, because Goemon is sick, and this looks like a pretty solid action platformer.
pretty fricking hype for this.
I loved goemon for n64
Modern AAA development is way the frick too bloated. Hollow Knight had a budget of $50,000 and I'd rather play that then any Spiderman, Last of Us, or nu-God of War
Super Mario RPG remake is fine because it's older than you and most people in this thread. It's doubtful most you have played it too.
I know that´s right.
I will support and buy the Mario RPG. Why? Because it doing well might mean they go back to traditional Paper Mario mechanics for new games.
It's really dumb how Nintendo has handled Mario RPGs. They literally killed both series they had on-going, and then had to go back and resurrect the original one.
Well alpha-dream went under to be fair; thought you could blame that on Nintendo for the 2 M&L remakes being pushed and flopping, but I have no idea if that was asked by Nintendo or if Alpha Dream decided on that themselves
I'm calling right now, Peach whole gimmick is "Ribbons"
She is wearing one and uses it to attack enemies.
>ripping off Mami
For her yellow special, Peach wields a gun

Sony (and Microsoft and other companies for that matter) are never going to put effort into these kinds of experiences because the people that like them only want them from Nintendo. Nintendo is the only company left making big bucks from 2d platformers, mini game collections, turn based rpgs and fighting games. It's silly to wonder why aren't more companies doing that, people wouldn't buy it if they did.
Indies are making games on a lesser scale the Nintendo and having as much success.
Yes but the point of being a big publisher is to return the money your investors are giving you, you're comparing apples and oranges saying AAA companies should make more games that look like this
Gamefreak is literally the only company in the industry that can do this shit and people will eat up. There is no bigger franchise than Pokemon other than COD.
And COD has done that shit before, GHOST sold nearly 30m, being highly regarded as the worst COD.
>There is no bigger franchise than Pokemon other than COD.
Pokémon is bigger than COD. It's the most successful franchise on the planet earth and it's not even close.
>There is no bigger franchise than Pokemon other than COD
Pokemon is far bigger than COD.
They actually should, is the thing. There should be a niche for AAA developed games that are made on a tighter budget, and appealer to a slightly smaller audience, but come out a lot faster, and are free to be experimental.
Some companies still do that. Ubisoft still funds weird passion projects, Square Enix still releases turn based rpgs Capcom still treats Street Fighter like a big deal. But something else has to put food on the table. But they can't do what Nintendo does and rely on them exclusively.
If the niche for smaller games is being fulfilled by competent indie devs why bother making something to compete against Hollow Knight if Hollow Knight is gonna be on playstation anyway
That's Hi-Fi Rush, and it did very well, and I'm hoping it's made Microsoft wake up and realise all these studios they've bought should just be allowed to make AA-level stuff that they WANT to do.
Does Nintendo take Blackrock/ESG money? If they don't, that might have something to do with it.
Mario Wonder looked very good, not a big fan of Pikmin, will surely get Mario RPG.
Bretty good Direct, I hoped for a 3D Mario that would build on the excellent controls of Mario Odyssey, but what they have shown was good too
That’s probably gonna be a switch 2 launch title
Sounds like you have a Nutendo problem.
>Nintendo announces over 5 new first-party titles + a remake and remasters of previous titles
and I'm buying ALL of them. seethe libsnoys
Reposting this from a dead thread about the state of AAA gaming:
>As far as console wars, Xbone is long gone ("Starfield" lmao imagine putting your fate in Bethesda's hands), Snoy has literally no games (movieslop), Switch has decade-old hardware but actual games, and PC gets ports of rereleases of remasters of remakes...
>So superficially the videogames industry is publishers like Bethesda, Ubisoft, Squeenix, etc backing up up truckloads of cash into a circle of dumpsterfires with gamer's lining up to pay to breathe in huge clouds of cancerous smoke, but the Nintedo dumpsterfire is slightly less toxic.
>However, PC also has emulators, huge backcatalog, indiedev games, "Switch" games, and also real new games (A and AA) and gets ports of the snoy moviegames if that's your thing.
>So basically PC is the only real option left if you are not a suicide cultist.
Tldr
>basically PC is the only real option left if you are not a suicide cultist.
>You're a cultist if you don't join us and listen to me
Okay.
Yes Snoy, Xbone, and Switch are burning money wastefully and console gamers are cultists. That's pretty well incontrovertible now, I'm confused why you are trying to contradicting me.
>why you are trying to contradicting me

Why are you talking about a PC as if it was a console?

Ignoring your bait thread you are correct, chasing graphics has killed the gaming industry
There is no bait, anon. Everything I typed was sincere.
Every new AAA game is either
>online multiplayer-focused meant to receive updates til the demand stops
>singleplayer open-world with RPG and crafting elements, also microtransactions
I blame mobile gaming profits for this.
>live updates (battle passes)
>microtransactions
>crafting
>necessary game being held back for dlc
>$70 price jump for no reason despite other bigger budget games on the same system being $60
the five sins of modern gaming
all the nintendo games are baby shit
i watched the direct and struggled not to close the tab because it was evidently aimed at 10 year old kids or 40 year old dads looking for new games for their 10 year old kids
the fact grown adults obsess so much over nintendoshit is just absurd to me, it's like formula 1 fans going all "dude the GOKART teams are just BTFOing everyone else this year"
(You)
fr fr no cap
>it's like formula 1 fans going all "dude the GOKART teams are just BTFOing everyone else this year"
Good analogy, actually. I'd rather drive a gokart than an F1 car, the former would be more fun. The latter is a pointless waste of millions for a sterile template experience.
They're making their heavy-hitters for the next console obviously.
But still, this was a good collection of "side games".
It shows a lot about the quality of their games. If Nintendo was like its competitors, it would only release Zelda this whole year.
AAA, the last A being the entire Art department
your pic related shows 2 straight up remasters one of which probably hasn't been touched up much since they already released it on wii (pikmin).
The other two games are quite literally the same game as their first game in the series with just new features.
>Namegay
not having Gankerx to force anonymize everyone. get back to me in 100 years with this rookie shit.
>Namegay
They released both Pikmin games on the Wii, and they were straight ports, with a new control scheme.
Aside from the new 2D Mario and Sonic (also Goemon in the Japanese stream) I thought the direct was garbage. But the saddest part about it all is that it's still better than everything else right now
>want the most powerful machine
>want tech demo games to show it off
>perplexed that thing like hiring a team of people to realistically render and animate the horse plops makes games take longer and cost more to develop while not making it any more fun
I love that Nintndo hasn't shown any switch 2 yet. My emulator is pleased
