From all successful Nintendo consoles why the hell did Nintendo Switch attracted so many autists like that? It's the second biggest video game mystery after Sonic fandom autism.

and with Nintendo Switch 2 it got even worse

Not in that level and amount. And you were mostly meeting these retards at the internet. Maybe at school too at worst case.

>>713980124
I don't get this idea that if you're not a kid you probably inherently won't like Nintendo stuff as a an adult. That way thinking diminishes the contents of games and puts the worth of the game on the attachment to the IP. The games should speak for themselves and boy do they. Zelda is currently the best example of not needing a connection with the series to enjoy it. The series was settling around 5m give or take a couple million either way with the best seller TP at 10m. BOTW comes along and sells 30m and counting. TOTK is at 20m and counting. Both games have sold at least double TP and magnitudes higher than every other entry. Where did these 10m+ new fans from, they obviously not older/existing Zelda fans? It's a tidal surge of new fans many of who will of course be kids but also a massive number will be adults that never touched Zelda previously but have since jumped onboard.
Same with other Nintendo franchises:
Animal crossing had a fuck ton of adults playing during covid pushing it to become one of the best selling games of the last generation.
Splatoon has quickly become Nintendo most competitive series and taken over Japan even though the series is only 10yo so anyone who played as a kid is either still a kid or young adult at most.
Kirby peaked in sales on the Gameboy decades ago with 5m and Forgotten Land on switch is at 7m and counting again showing more new fans jumping on board.
Luigi's Mansion 3 sold 15m easily beating the 6.5m of LM2on DS. That's Luigi, the now butt of jokes brother to the famous Mario.

>>713980226
Depends on the person. Personally I've been Nintendo fan since Nes era and I always preferred Nintendo consoles over Sega and Microsoft ones but still I never took consoles wars seriously and when I could I was also buying consoles I liked from rival companies even if they were second hand ones. While Nintendo Switch 1 has some great games I'm not big fan of that console even if I own a Switch and bought some games. The only time I ve spent lots of time on it was during Covid lockdowns.

>>713979371 (OP)
It's like Disney adults, Trekkies or audiophiles
It's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle. Because if you're just into video games in general you're a nerd, and nerds are uncool. But if you're specifically into Nintendo then you're a connoisseur of the art of interactive media and a step above those filthy cretins who play non-Nintendo games.
Same with scifi and trekkies, listening to music and audiophiles, or watching new-age french cinematique and being addicted to porn.

>>713980532
>It's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle
That's not even a lifestyle anymore. It's a fucking cult. Therefore the consoomer cult slang I earlier came up with.

>>713979371 (OP)
Nintendies are the Disney adults of gaming.

>>713980606
Their approach is working thoughbeit. Nintendo's situation shows that having strong (quality, consistent, variety) first party support, all indie and AA support, combined with more/improved most AAA support is preferred by the market. PS5 has weak first party support, less demand than PS4 (especially thanks to the live service bungle), most indie and some AA support, which clearly as we've seen the past near decade isn't enough to have strong sales in Japan. Most people want video games and Nintendo creates the best video games and keeps them as permanent exclusives which has insane demand.

Bitches, please! I've also experienced cases like that and even worse from obsessed fanboys of that. Even from ex friends of mine.

It's funny how you all seethe yourselves endlessly over Nintendo's ongoing critical acclaim, commercial success and enduring cultural legacy.

But the same time you feverishly piss and shit yourselves to emulate their games.

The reality is that Nintendo's hardware and software have continually shaped the gaming industry since the 1980s. The have consistently made the best video games in the world for 40 years straight, and they can be consistently relied upon - almost without fail - to deliver great game after great game.

Go ahead and predict Donkey Kong Bananza's metacritic rating next month.

If you don't play Nintendo, you cannot seriously call yourself a gamer.

>>713982001

Imagine defending Nintendo for charging 80-90 dollars for a fucking video game. And I thought SNES and N64 games were expensive. At least these old consoles had the excuse of cartridges being expensive to be made. What's Nintendo Switch 2's excuse? Taking advance of consoomers willing to pay so much just for a video game?

>>713982349

This lie again. Fuck off snoy.

>>713982189
They're compared because they're both the same thing. That being grown-ass "adult" manchildren who're emotionally attached to a corporation, because said corporations produced/produce entertainment media for children that tickled the funny spot in their brain when they were younger, so now they're like their surrogate fathers.

I actually agree. Nintendo have made so much good stuff, in such a variety of genres, you actually don't like the medium if you can't find anything to appreciate there.
You just enjoy some false sense of elitism over owning a more powerful console, or playing games that are superficially mature or artsy.

I'm doubtful Bananza will save the system, it doesn't look as fun and innovative as Odyssey. Can't believe the only games I might be interested in are two IP's that haven't had a game in nearly a decade.

>>713983873
How was Odyssey innovative?

>>713983873
it's also almost all spinoffs so far, only Bananza is a mainline game for its series and it's still massively different from DKC

>>713984107
I mean, it's a huge franchise, that sells about as good if not better than Mario platformers.
"Mainline Mario" isn't even a thing. Mario is a mascot who is designed to fit into all kinds of different games, and Super Mario Bros was like the seventh game he was in.

Cappy's movement makes Mario's movement incredibly dynamic which it hasn't really been since SM64 and the gimmick of morphing into creatures while not that special (Garry's Mod lets you turn into any prop for example) there aren't any games especially in the console market that changes the control scheme of your character and do things in the environment you weren't able to do before.

Um...Nintendo games have had RPG elements for ages, especially because they publish a metric fuckton of RPGs. They aren't jumping on a trend, they've had games with skill and gear upgrades since the NES.

Its not a coincedence that both sega hardware fans and nintendo fans both are/were weird as fuck

both were the device of choice in america and americans are extremely susceptible for weaponised nostalgia, way more than any other region

It may have been legitimate to call Mario Kart a spinoff when they made the very first one (even then, questionable, since Mario was designed to be a character they could put into all kinds of games).

So what? Why would Mario Kart not pull in characters from those games? It's also got a bunch of Donkey Kong stuff, and Link is sometimes there.
An argument could also be made that Yoshi and Wario have ascended beyond simply being characters of the SMB extended cast. And whether or not you'd even consider Super Mario Land to be part of the SMB series is debatable. It was made by totally different people.

I'm absolutely with you on this. I understand why people like and might end up attached to it, but it's almost like the female equivalent of the series 'Monster', in that it really draws people in by giving off this vibe of being far more serious and "grounded and lifelike" than other anime, and is unique in how it does this, but despite all the stuff it does to this effect, at its core it's a soap opera that revolves around a lot of dumb shit.

>>713987731

Because the great majority of content is inspired by Super Mario Bros specifically. You know Mushrooms? Those came from Super Mario Bros! Starmen? Also Super Mario Bros! Those ? Blocks? Guess what? Also based on Super Mario Bros!

Try actually playing games that came out before you were born in 2010.
