There is a concerted conspiracy against Nintendo by western media outlets. This isn’t a schizo conspiracy. It’s real. Just look at the headline Eurogamer just published. Literally THE MOST uncharitable way possible to read what Furukawa said. Why is western games media like this?

>>714503808 (OP)
Here is what Furukawa ACTUALLY said. How the fuck do these freaks call this journalism? I thought Eurogamer was supposed to be a bit more “respectable” than random clickbait rags like GamingBolt or TheGamer? Fucking hell

What’s the conspiracy? People are fed up with this gay company for babies and their Disney adult fanbase? They’re bad for the gaming landscape, period. $80 for games is bad. Toddler-tier difficulty for all of their major games is bad. Gross anti-consumer practices are bad. I don’t know what to tell you.

Why is anyone surprised after gamergate? Journalists writes for many and anyone can bribe them. If you don't think they're compromised by companies like Sony/MS you're incredibly naive, not to mention the head honcho company. Western companies don't like it when JAPANESE companies dominates the video game industry.

They've always been this way. Game journalists have been lying about Nintendo since forever. I remember in the Gamecube era IGN and Gamespot would lie about everything. IGN would put the Gamecube section of the site all the way at the end of the list behind PC and irrelevant platforms, as if to say it literally did not even matter. They would often leave Nintendo completely out of discussions, and speak about console gaming as if it were just a Sony vs Microsoft paradigm. Completely dishonest. The Wii U era also comes to mind, Wii U is a really great console but the gaming press were like sharks who tasted blood in the water and pounced hard on the narrative that it was a "failed console" before it ever even had a chance. 100% sure Sony pays them to do this.

Cutting through corpospeak and saying what they actually mean is what a good journalist is supposed to do. You people want press release readers, not journalists who press companies. What he said basically was "Fuck those kids they can have a Mario plushie until they bug their parents for one" and you'd say that was an accurate summary if you didn't hear a journalist say it first.

>>714505980
>my [HEADCANON] is what he actually said

>>714505551
Definitely true, eurofags love goyslop for some reason and most don't like Nintendo, it's like they're casual-only gamers and completely averse to any core gaming experience. They seem to only like Mario Kart, Nintendo's most casual game.

>>714503913
I mean, he is literally saying that if kids can't afford the switch they can suck a dick, watch the movies, and save their allowance to buy one later. The Eurogamer title is uncharitable, but Furukawa's statement is just a corpo whitewashed version of Don Matterick's infamous line. Actually what Furukawa said is worse cause he's telling kids to buy merch slop and go to theme parks instead of buying an alternative game system

The real comedy comes from the early 20s era where jewtubers presented themselves as the more unbiased option compared to journos because they weren't paid by any corp and were self-employed, thus had no need for bias.
And now I have seen all of them become even worse than said journos ever were.
Funny how that works.

There's so much crying wolf about the switch 2 that when something bad actually does happen I'm not going to believe it.

>>714505235
GameCube was completely irrelevant at the time and everyone made fun of it. It only became good in hindsight. I was there. Nintendo wasn't making the games that the average player wanted to play. Case in point, Reggie Fils Aime didn't even own one when he was brought on to NoA because it wasn't appealing to his demographic

>>714505980
Nintendo won the console wars, journos need to get in line and shill for Nintendo. It's their job. And don't tell me that's asking too much, if the shoe were on the other foot they would be sucking Sony off so hard

>>714503808 (OP)
It's almost like charging $450 for a system kids got for $199 and charging $80 for games that used to be $60 is unpopular.

It 100% is. Why was Mattrick saying "play our old shit if you don't like it" any better than "buy our toys if you don't like it?" It's the same thing. A company saying "you'll buy our stuff anyway, piggy"

>>714506169
Hindsight is 20/20, it only "became good in hindsight" because it was ALWAYS good, you were just wrong back then idiot. Gamecube mogged the fuck out of PS2 and Xbox. A few of us high IQ niggas were telling you this even back then and you just didn't want to hear it

Their job is to report on these companies like investigators, not marketers. Half of the Nintendo sites are afraid to cover leaks or Nintendo related litigation because they won't get free shit anymore. Coverage of piracy as well is also news no matter how much Nintendo hates it. You shouldn't limit what you cover just because a company won't like it.

>>714506342
>It 100% is
It isn't. It's a completely different statement, it's like interpreting "I bought a gun for self defence" as "I bought a gun to shoot everyone standing in my way".

Well that's never once been the case in 30+ years

>>714506168
You know if Nintendo ported any of their games like Playstation did for PC or Xbox there would be news everywhere and articles saying Nintendo is dead. Not a peep when Sony does it.

>>714506552
It's not, Mattricks statement was just as bad, and Furukawa said basically the same thing.

>>714506091
It's going to be funny watching all the griftubers who have been talking shit about game journos for years and claiming they are much better make 100s of videos repeating this.

>>714506390
he doesn't say "Here is what our pipeline of new fans look like", he offers the merch and wannabe Disney slop as an alternative to buying a Switch 2 while those kids save up money. If anything their "new pipeline" is saying that they're willing to to price out a certain segment because they have this other slop they can purchase

And 3. is just a pretty bog standard corpo statement indicating that if they price does impact sales they'll lower it but that's a "No shit" statement and really more a comment on how Nintendo will only take that route if the system isn't selling well

>>714503808 (OP)
>>714503913
That pretty much IS what he said, though.
>can't afford Switch 2? Well go support Nintendo in other ways and come back when you can.

>>714506342
What's funny is that Furukawa isn't even saying to buy the Switch 1, but instead suggests buying Mario plushies and watching the movie kek

>>714506831
Yeah that's honestly the most egregious part. Why not just say "We will continue to produce Switch 1 titles for a period for this audience," at least that would make sense instead of "placate yourself with our bad amusement park where the average American can't ride the rides due to obesity"

>>714506637
>and Furukawa said basically the same thing.
No, no he didn't. That's the point of this entire conversation.

>>714506624
Nintendo would be dead in that scenario because their hardware is weak as fuck. No one would be buying a Switch if they could play Nintendo games better elsewhere. Look at all the emulatorfags on /v/ as an example.

He is explaining how they're hoping that kids will end up high Nintendo consumers that buys their hardware.
Then he wraps it around to where he acknowledged the issue and said that they're investigating if it'll pose a problem.

Yeah it's kind of a nothing statement. But he isn't saying that kids will just have to make do with other products.

>>714506086
The Mattrick comparisons are dishonest as all fuck. He was telling you to fuck off of you didn't want to accept always online and no used games. Furukawa is just saying get your money up

>>714507431
>"Outside of our gaming systems"

>>714507031
>Nintendo would be dead in that scenario because their hardware is weak as fuck
I meant one game, not everything. Say Splatoon for example came to Playstation.

>Look at all the emulatorfags on /v/ as an example
That shit would never work on casuals and you know it. I think even casuals would have higher standards that emulatorfags because they played the best game ever made in choppy 15 FPS with glitches and shit. A casual would just look at that mess and wonder why you wouldn't shell out a few hundred to get actual good performance

>>714505980
>Cutting through corpospeak and saying what they actually mean is what a good journalist is supposed to do.
A good journalist is supposed to deliver the facts, not attempt to run smear campaigns.
In any case cutting through the corpo speak on that would produce something like

Not
>Nintendo says if you can't afford it, go away.

>>714506959
>Why not just say "We will continue to produce Switch 1 titles for a period for this audience
because that's rather obvious, they still have first party titles scheduled for the switch 1 with tomodachi life as far as deep into the 2026
and that's just what's been actually announced so far

>>714506721
kids are getting priced out of nintendo in general atm, pokemon everything gets scalped like crazy, even that pokemon collab a museum had was flooded with people going to get the merch to sell on ebay and they were taking them away from kids. the people buying them on ebay were probably fat 30+ year olds.

>>714506959
>Why not just say "We will continue to produce Switch 1 titles for a period for this audience,"
Doug Bowser said almost exactlty that way back in early april when the price of the Switch 2 broke out and people kept on comparing his statement to Mattricks initial Always Online DRM and No used games initiative for the Xbox One.

>>714503913
The key word here that's wrong and is being uncharitable is AFFORD. There is nothing he says about an inability to afford the Switch 2 as in talking about someone too poor to buy it. After all these children will not be able to get Switch 2's in the first place unless the financial means of their parents change. What Furukawa is talking about is generating enough interest among potential buyers for them to buy a Switch 2 despite the price point, essentially having the desire for the Switch 2 to overcome the price. Children liking nintendo characters from other media and nagging their parents for the games because of this to get them to buy a Switch 2 is what he's talking about. This should be easy to understand unless you're low IQ.

>>714507830
>kids are getting priced out of nintendo in general
PS6 will be way more expensive than Switch 2

>>714507765
Well, if it's 1 game there's usually more to follow. Xbox was only supposed to port 4 games to PS5 and now PS5 gets everything. Likewise, Sony only started with that MLB The Show game and now Xbox is getting a Hell Divers 2 port. Even Lego Horizon was one of many games Sony has released for the Switch, some of them from Sony Music even being Switch exclusives. If we got Splatoon on PS5, there'd be a different port in the future but because Nintendo is segmenting their entire audience from everyone else with Gamechat, that probably will never happen. Everyone else on PC/Xbox/PS5/mobile can be in the same voice call on their respective platform for free, it's just Nintendo maintaining a paid walled garden now.

>>714503808 (OP)
That racism against asians and asian culture has been a thing since the video game crash. The mutts have been seething over the fact that they destroyed the video game industry and it got taken over by Nintendo.

Kids don't care for consoles.

>>714508195
Sony are run by numbers people. If they held on to their exclusives they'd now have their own exclusives + Xbox games and people would be forced to buy Playstation to play those games. They're now in a weaker position because they got people who don't understand gaming.

>>714507969
at a $450 price point, i kinda doubt they're getting one anon. the switch lite was $199, a switch 2 is over twice the price. we're probably not gonna see kids get one until the lite is out unless their parents are also gamers that want one for themselves anyway.

>>714508290
The video game industry was never not dominated by Nintendo

>>714508342
They're in a weaker position because they have an audience that doesn't want video games, but instead they want movies and live service slop.

>>714508504
Have another while you cope

>>714508342
For Hell Divers 2, it makes sense because it's multiplayer focused and Xboxfags will help keep games full and they might buy MTX. I expect that's not the last game Sony ports to Xbox though, I think in the future even first party live service games from Sony will wind up elsewhere. Although to be fair, Sony's live service game would have to live for that to happen. Fairgame$ might pull a Concord or even a Hyenas.

>714508663
It's all OK, so long as it's Nintendo doing the bad thing. That is your position.

>>714508610
If Sony had perhaps invested some of their money in software R&D to create their own in-house 1st party IPs perhaps they may have stood a chance to compete. But Sony hates video games so they never would have done that. And throwing money at the problem does not make a video game good, you need people who love vidya who have a vision.

>>714508676
They also have to make up losses for the love service push. Plus if you're making love service games then limiting the platforms is an absolutely retarded business move.

>>714508839
I remember once being told that Nintendo for the longest time was an R&D company that made games on the side.

>>714508806
Microsoft:
>Don't like always online? You want to be able to play used games? No, fuck you, fuck off forever
Nintendo:
>Switch 2 is too expensive? Buy something else until you can afford it. We will lower the price if it's too unaffordable for too many people

>defending game journo trannies to "own" Nintendo
Nintendo Derangement Syndrome is real.

>>714508847
>They also have to make up losses for the love service push
Good point, that port is trying to get extra revenue from their only live service success. But yeah, a game like Marvel Rivals wouldn't have taken off as much as it had if it was a PS5 exclusive, or even a PS5/PC exclusive. Crossplay and every console having discord as a free cross system voice chat has changed up the dynamics a lot, everything outside of Nintendo is becoming 1 big ecosystem where whatever platform you're on doesn't really matter because you can play with all your friends and voice chat with them regardless of what you're all playing on.

Journos despise Nintendo. They all grew up with PS1 and shitting on Nintendo for being for kids.

Nintendo doesn't give them freebies for just existing.
Nintendo cut them off by inventing Directs so they couldn't just spread lies unchecked.
There's also the "issue" with Nintendo being Japanese. Journos hate anything Japanese.

This but the total opposite. They're significantly more forgiving toward Nintendo than anyone else. It's why they inflate Nintendo game scores. If they don't, they lose access to Nintendo and get death threats from nintensnoys.

>1) Nintendo didn't give westoid journiggers any early free handouts this time not because they hate them, though they should, but because the Switch 1 piracy/emulation fiasco has caused them to heavily lock down press access to the Switch 2
what happened is that the switch 2 uses an emulation layer for switch 1 backwards compatibility and you need the day 1 patch to enable it. journos wouldn't have had access to that patch so they didn't send journos review units because they knew they'd all bitch about the lack of backwards compatibility and it'd be a big fiasco over something that'd be fixed a week or 2 later.

Nigga journos barely get access to nintendo games early nowadays, last time they nigger slapped kotaku for shilling metroid dread piracy before the game launched and one of the guys working on the site wanted a third bomb on Japan, these niggers are THAT fucking deranged.

>>714508990
Technically speaking they are a yakuza money laundering scheme using R&D as a front that just so happens to make games on the side.
Which is kino mind you.

>>714509296
You know what's funny? I think they get the idea for "direct" from Hitler. I was reading Mein Kampf last night and Hitler explains very concisely the need to go directly to the people and speak to them, explaining that no successful mass movement was ever organized without the direct spoken word, and how the jewish press would warp and spin the word otherwise. Very interesting.

>>714509398
>Nintendo
>Giving journos freebies
Anon Nintendo are notorious for hating game journalists, why do you think they focus so much on directs and now their app for news distribution? They want to starve parastic journos.

>>714509598
Nintendo is simply generating a lot of negative news lately. Are you suggesting people should be happy the switch 2 LCD is worse than the Switch 1 LCD? You'd have to be some kind of unhinged nintensnoy to think this is a good thing. famiboards might care a lot about sales exclusively focused in Japan, but most people do not.

>>714509169
>>714509436
That didn't stop Nintendo from sending units out to content creators, even the #1 Wii U fan Scott the Woz got one for free AND to keep, and he donated it to the local children's hospital instead

>>714503913
Why do you even think he mentions creating other ways to engage with Nintendo characters? They know the price is retarded, but retards like you will rush at their defense.

>>714509495
1. You can skip McDonalds for a month and afford Switch 2.
2. You can't fix internet infrastructure in your town by yourself.
3. Xbox One was more expensive than Switch 2.

>>714509806
>They know the price is retarded
>We are closely monitoring to what degree the price of the system might become a barrier

>>714509806
The price of the console is perfectly reasonable. It out performs the steam deck and comes with a dock and two controllers

>714509828
At least you agree you were dishonest. A rarity among nintensnoys.

>>714509969
nta but it's really not when you realize japan gets it for $330 instead and that's around the manufacturing cost.

they have actually not been giving much freebies since the switch 1 era
what journos are mad about is nintendo not giving them free fancy dinners and disneyland trips

>>714510286
Agreed, Nintendo keep making weird, hostile and anti-consumer decisions. Nintendo are the ones in control of this, Nintendo fans should hope for them to stop making these bad decisions instead of hoping their bad decisions do not get coverage. This is what makes them Nintensnoys.

>>714510203
that makes it an unreasonable price elsewhere. the same is true with the price hikes sony did outside of america. nintendo increasing the price of the switch 1 in canada recently is absolutely batshit insane. they did it after the switch 2 released.

>>714510256
that argument falls flat when other countries with shit currency have to pay more. it's not regional pricing, it's special pricing for 1 region.

The funniest part is that Switch 2 is the fastest selling console of all time.
The market has spoken. Price is not the issue. Adults, grandmas and children are getting Switch 2s.
They will have a cheaper Lite model in 2 years anyway.

>>714510412

It's true. Kids do not care about Nintendo, they play Roblox, Grow a Garden being the latest and greatest thing captivating them.

>>714510073
besides manufacturing, the price also has to cover shipping, r&d, retailer cut

Even though journalists and influencers these days seem to hate Nintendo, paradoxically, they've always had more expectations of Nintendo than anyone. There's a lot of resentment because all of these people have their own ideas of what Nintendo and its products ideally should be, and yet every single time Nintendo has gone in seemingly an opposite direction. People want more power out of Nintendo's consoles, but that doesn't happen. People want Nintendo to bow out of the console business for good, but that doesn't happen. People want Nintendo's products to be more "mature" and "adult-oriented" like Sony and Microsoft, but that doesn't happen. People want Nintendo to be the "people's" game dev. They want Nintendo products to be easily affordable and accessible to anyone and everyone. They want Nintendo to be a messiah, the fantasy ideal of a company that selflessly gives to the community while expecting nothing in return. But, of course, that doesn't happen. So they vent and rage. They hate how Nintendo is just a company like any other, how they're profit-minded like any other.

You must understand that these people, more than anyone else, wished for Nintendo to be a "savior". They placed all their hopes and expectations on this company and now they're getting upset on their own because Nintendo refuses to answer their expectations. It's autism of the most insane kind.

>>714511080
Only the broke kids whose parents treats them like shit does that. Roblox is predator central

>>714511202

Nintendo isn't capturing this audience.

>>714510385

>>714511326
Fortnite is in a way better position than Roblox is, they're trying to make new content and people have played shooters forever

>>714511286
Nintendo being seen as the console for kids really hasn't changed and kids don't want to be seen as kids so they reject Nintendo once they get a bit older. They might come back when they're an adult due to nostalgia though.

Nintendo was often babby's first console, or at least their first way to play vidya with the cheap handhelds. That might not be true anymore though with smartphones and tablets being readily available, parents have less of a reason to buy a handheld for their kids now so maybe the new generation isn't getting raised on Nintendo as kids like previous ones.

>>714505980

That is a constant. Kids don't have money. It could cost 300 dollars and that would hold true.

It has to be more than a half-constructed memory as an infant. The generation that grew up with the wii u while their parents were fighting were the last chance. You can't beat 8 hours a day with all your friends and siblings in the same game together.

Irrelevant holdover from a bygone era as consoles are outmoded and not worth the price of admission anymore, what with being gimped PCs where digital is dominant amd the proces just keep going up for their games, much less their boxes and midgen releases.

>>714511804

Nintendo games outsell everything else, anon. Their franchises are bigger and better than ever. No, those kids won't play the fucking baby game when they're 18, let alone older. If you were at least saying Fortnite it'd make more sense.

>Nintendo is not penetrating this audience
Who are you even kidding? Nintendo have sold to kids, families forever now. If people got actual friends then Smash, Mario Kart, Splatoon are all better than shit like Roblox.

>tendies defend Nintendo giving the don matrick quote

>>714511804
It is crazy that there's this insane segment of gaming that I almost never hear about that gets twice the daily active users of all of Steam, which even that is likely more than all three consoles daily active users combined. What the fuck even is Roblox, I still have no idea.

>>714512473
>Nintendo have sold to kids, families forever now
They primarily sell to 35 year old single men with no children. This has been the case for a long time and it's only growing these days.

Roblox makes 3.5billion a year. Nintendo makes 12billion a year. Roblox is a single piece of software, Nintendo releases dozens of games, has a hardware platform, a network infrastructure, thousands more employees, and no audience below age 25.

You need to understand this better if you want Nintendo to succeed. Otherwise it looks like they're just going to die with you.

>>714509296
Remember all those Digital Foundry vids about hands on comparisons when the Switch 2 wasn't even released yet without leaks they were so desperate for info to make the Switch look ad they just made it up with whatever little info they had to work with more pathetic were the morons who believed it.

It's not even that, it's game journos constantly advertising nintendo emulators and saying how much better it is than playing the actual thing.
Niggertaku went too far by having an entire article on how to pirate and emulate Metroid Dread before the game even came out. They successfully shat in the punch bowl so hard that everyone is being punished for it, whether or not they were ever pro-Nintendo in the first place.

American colonialism never stopped, despite how much they rave about it being a terrible stain on their history. To them, Japanese people are wrong and need to be "fixed".

Some guy will go on and on about how diversity is our strength and how we should welcome in and accept foreigners and jump into the melting pot headfirst, then turn around and screech about how Japanese media and culture needs to stop existing. It's not a conspiracy. It's just plain old xenophobia plus some corporate pressure to eliminate the competition. Nintendo is a threat because it's successful.

Parents used to buy their kids a Gameboy or DS to shut them up in the car. It became a childhood nostalgia brand for a lot of the modern fans, we'll have to see if that trend dies or not now that phones and tablets are more popular the price of the Switch 2 is a bit ridiculous for a Nintendo product. The MKWorld bundle costs as much as the Switch 1 and Switch 1 Lite combined.

So do you guys just dislike Nintendo the company, the games/franchises, the players, or all of the above? I've never understood the vitriol for Nintendo around here - they make video games, this is the video game board, etc.

>>714506169
The problem was the cultural zeitgeist of the early 2000s, it was the edgy, alternative, "mature" era.

The original purple Gamecube looked like a toy compared to the PS2 and the Xbox, Nintendo had that child friendly image since the early 90s and aside from Smash Bros and Metroid Prime it didnt have a killer app to justify its purchase.

Going cel shaded style for Zelda hurt its sales and basically any normie would go for the PS2 and GTA.

So basically, there's no real source other than third party trackers that don't have the correct numbers.
Also being under foreign institutions and individuals would mean that they have a hideously small amount not 6.99 since tree that number would clearly make them a major investor. If you really want to drive home how inaccurate the third party trackers are just look at Morgan Chase JP who appears in your original link AND Nintendo's own list however the third party one puts it at 8.80 where Nintendo puts them at 2.13, major discrepancy.

>>714514543
You know it's true. Fucking Sony fanboys admits they bought Switch 1 and will buy Switch 2

Eurogamer, which is essentially Digital Foundry have had it out for Switch 2 even before the system was out. They've also been known to shill hard for Sony, Microsoft, and even the Steam Deck they shilled the hell out of. But with Nintendo they've been straight up spreading misinformation, almost as if they feel threatened by it. It's really quite weird because they're supposed to be unbiased.

N64fags vs Gamecubefags vs Switchfags. Even more so are series generational infighting. Pokemon gen1 vs gen2 vs gen3, etc. MKDD vs MK8DX vs MKWorld.

All journalists should hang from lampposts.
It's sad to see so many people ITT argue in bad faith that what the President said was insulting and that this hack fraud's article is anything but a hitpiece. There are plenty of actual things to criticize Nintendo over. A blatant mischaracterization of a quote is not one of them.

They did, but after they moved Playstation to California they fucked everything up.

Not the case, I was looking through metacritic and quite a few have switch as the lowest
SMT VV

DQ builders tied with pc
Tactic ogre tied with pc
FF pixel remaster
Ender Lilies
Castlevania advanced collection
Disgaea 7
Live a live
Crash team racing
Hello kitty island adventure
Ryza 2
Crash 4
Atelier Lulua is tied with ps4
Dq11 is tied with ps4
Tsukihime

You get the picture. It's also worth noting that for a lot of the ones that they aren't at the bottom for they aren't necessarily at the top, that's almost always a PlayStation platform. Tsukihime in particular was about 4 points higher despite the censorship.

What's the sales numbers, or are you just basing that on the fact that they are sold out? Because a thing being sold out doesn't mean it's selling like crazy, just that the supply isn't large enough.

Many consoles have done that in the past, deliberitely delivered a lower number of consoles than what is actually expected to sell to give people a stronger impression that the console is flying off the shelves because it's just that worth the money. Personally I don't think the Switch 2 is at all worth the high price right now, there's only 2 fucking games on it and Nintendo is asking for too much.

If you don't love companies hiking prices, you are the cancer killing video games for buying the switch 2.

>>714530468
They filed some patents earlier but they also did file some patents after release Palworld. None of it really matters because justice system is more or less who's who better ties to masonry (karl jobst case showed that Mitch had better tied to said mafia), and in japan there's no even "pretense" of law (see how police treat criminals that haven't even been found guilty) so the systematic corruption is far worse in there than in europoor or united states of mexico

My favourite is when they compare it to "right to repair", like bricking a tractor for not paying john deere to repair it for you is the same as banning you from online services because you wanted free video games

>>714531515
Karl said on the video that mitch had opened cases regarding his "cheating" claims prior, and he was telling that he didn't know that the latest case (which went to court and he lost) was about claiming he caused some guy suicide, because the 2-3 prior cases was about cheating. Now admitedly I don't know law stuff enough to know if it's even possible to take someone to court without knowing that it's "really" about, but seeing how youtubers often do "i dont wanna reveal my strategy" implies it's possible someone might be suing you over something (cheating), take it to court and then use something entirely different (cause someone to suicide) against you, when you didn't know it would be the one used against you. This is the one fact, that many of the youtube grifters grifting on anti-karl videos, always fail to mention.

>>714532212
>In actuality the case was about defamation that karl had no hope to ever win because good fucking luck legally pinning suicide on somebody.
Do we know for a fact that Karl did in-fact know it was about defamation about suicide? because he said on video that mitchell had previously opened cases about cheating, so is it not reasonable to assume Karl didn't know the newest case was about the defamation of causing someone to suicide? Can you with 100% certainty tell to me, that Karl had to have known that the most recent case was about defamation of cause of suicide, and not of cheating, do you know legalese enough to make that claim? Because I can almost guarantee you, all of the youtubers who jumped on the Anti-Karl bandwagon, none of them do know for a fact either.

they should release a switch 2 lite thats a little cheaper. its a shame they wont release one for awhile because bean counters dont want to canabalize sales. i bought a switch 2 but man the games are expensive, i can understand the struggle

If they wanted to go for the juggular they'd make a headline that goes "Nintendo president says that he's aiming to make the console's price point barely affordable." Naturally, they didn't do it.

Because the only appeal of a PS5 is basically a cheap alternative to a PC (this was especially true during the pandemic). People only get it so they can play multiplayer games with their friends, or singleplayer games that are ported on the PlayStation.
People stopped caring about exclusives from Sony after the new Ratchet and Clank really. On the other hand, the only selling point of the Switch are the exclusives. It's an unimpressive little console hardware wise with only a few gimmicks that aren't new or interesting. If it was released without the Nintendo logo, no one would care.

>>714530720
>filed some after
those are addendums, its a sort of "re-file" that doesnt permit expansion of concept but clarification.
You can only add specifics that werent there before, anything broadening your claim has to be filed as a new patent, shouldnt be approved, and if approved will not hold up if you have broadened the patent or if the patent now describes something "in public knowledge" or "prior art"
Nintendo has very, very good lawyers, if it were as simple as "this is public/prior" they would have dropped the suit a long time ago (recall the mario super market, a C&D that was sent out routinely, but dropped the moment they realized they couldn't apply their trademark because of prior use.)

I mean if it weren't for the movies, theme parks, toy lines, whatever else you could see it as that. But there are actual ways to engage with Nintendo's characters elsewhere so it's a bit of stretch to call it that.
They even include a still image from the the Mario movie, anon...

>>714530720
>but they also did file some patents after release Palworld.
They didn't file a single one. Several were approved in the US after palworld released but that doesn't matter since patents are retroactive to the filing date and have a strict wait time of 2 years. In other words had they actually filed anything in 2024 it would have been useless.

Are they trying to be the next Kotaku or what?

No the law is japn is different, they can literally pull something out of ass, that didn't have any prior reference, and because they have more money it flies in their system. That's why palworld had to remove that throwing mechanism of throwing pal ball from where the pal comes out, because I think that was a mechanic they threw into lawsuit only after palworld had already been made, it wasn't conceptualized anywhere prior afaik

>>714534083
>Several were approved in the US after palworld released but that doesn't matter since patents are retroactive to the filing date and have a strict wait time of 2 years.
Yes, but US law is different from Japan law. In japan you can introduce something afterwards just to fuck with your competitor, and it will work, because you have more money. It is THAT corrupt system in there, and many companies have done that in the past.

>>714505861
>MKW is 80 bucks
plus $8 tip

>>714534261
We aren't talking about Japanese law and this also didn't happen anyway.
You really are journo trapped aren't you.

>>714533530
No. Billy sued explicitly for the comments about causing a suicide. And Karl's legal defense is that Billy already has a shit reputation and it wasn't made further shit because of the suicide. This isn't a courtroom drama where Billy lured in Karl in and then dropped his actual case to ambush him, that's now how the law works.

>>714534261
>In japan you can introduce something afterwards just to fuck with your competitor, and it will work, because you have more money. It is THAT corrupt system in there, and many companies have done that in the past.
That has literally never happened

Anon, these people are JSL
they have to fill in the gaps
to make it fit their narrative
besides, JP language has 3 different translated words for 1 japanese word

>>714534150
>No the law is japn is different
I am referencing JPO law:
jpaa.or.jp/en/ip-information/

The original 3d pokeball patent that is claimed to be the one in question is all the way from legends arceas, released in 2022, filed in 2021 I believe. The addendum was 2024 and likely exists to protect the upcoming switch/2 game.

>>714534703

Bold of you to assume they don't just use Google translate.

>We aren't talking about Japanese law
Well you should be, because Japan is the country where the lawsuit is taking place, this shit Nintendo is doing against palworld has been dismissed every other system, it doesn't stick anywhere outside of Japan.

>>714534516
>that's not how the law works.
And I ask you again, do you know this for a fact, or is this just something you're saying, because it's something every other youtuber "just said" (for a coin)?

I won't address this particular issue because I would be feeding into the narrative. Everyone knows xbox is behind this and it's not the first time. We know they want to buy Nintendo. We know they already employed this tactic with ActiBlizz where they waged a covert media and legal op to damage their image before proposing the acquisition.

>>714503808 (OP)
>Nintendo went from "
>Anybody can play and afford our games! Your mom, your dad, your creepy uncle who watches kids through the window, hell even your grandma!"
To
>"Yeah, uh, if you can't afford the switch 2 then I don't know what to tell you, kid. Life's problems I guess"

>>714535269
I'm not sure if this is sarcasm. Discussion of law should be purely truth seeking, otherwise you're part of the problem.

>>714532939
Tendies are, and I mean this in the most literal definition of the word, cultists.

>>714535412
They sad the effects of "open borders" (to gaming) and don't want to do it anymore

>>714535412
But anon, what should a poor Guatemalan child do if he can't afford a PS5? How will he play Goy of War: Remember the Holocaust edition?

>>714535434
The hate brigade against Nintendo seems more cult-like these days.

>>714503913
What a stupid fucking thing to be upset about. There are kids who can't afford a Switch 1 at $300. Is Nintendo just supposed to give them one for free because they're poor?

>>714535431
Why would it be sarcasm? When you file for defamation, you have to explicitly include what statements are being defamatory. Billy would not be allowed to say "I'm suing you for saying I cheated in donkey kong" and then after months of discovery and pre-trial negotiations, wind up in court, and then go A-HA I FOOLED YOU THIS IS ABOUT SUICIDE.
Meanwhile, it would be aggressively pig-headed to again, imply that Karl didn't know what he was being sued for after all of the discovery and document compiling.

>AIIEEEEEEE THE JOOS ARE TRYING TO KILL NINTENDO!!!!!
Uh, you realize they're just trying to appeal to the Twitter crowd, right? They're just looking to make money, it's not a conspiracy.
Anyway, leftists are back to hating corporations now that they don't put pride flags on their avatars. Even though you fags pretnd like Nintendo is an indie company, they are in fact on of the biggest companies in all of gaming.
>>714535675
>hate brigade
Lmao

>>714535386
Just curious, are they trying to acquire Capcom as well? There is a bizarre crusade against that company as well.

>>714503913
>Engage using Mario 3D movie
>Peach is a girlboss, Mario is not important, Luigi is Peach, Bowser is mocked for being in love
Thanks Nintendo

>>714534903
>this shit Nintendo is doing against palworld has been dismissed every other system
They haven't even tried it outside of Japan because they're both Japanese companies.
Are you being retarded on purpose?

>>714535932
>Meanwhile, it would be aggressively pig-headed to again, imply that Karl didn't know what he was being sued for after all of the discovery and document compiling.
Fair enough, it could be I'm wrong. To me it seemed that many of the youtubers were just bandwagoning on Karl, without providing the facts, that no, you can't do that thing, or at least they didn't manage to convince to me that they (youtubers) were in good faith or were not purely doing it for the youtube grift.

>>714536145
nearly every studio who has a bad reputation and every indie whose game thats a clone of a classic fails will seethe endlessly at old studios with great legacy and will bitch and moan constantly online about them, trying to ruin that legacy so they can have more of a chance. not once will they think instead to improve themselves. not once.

>>714535960
What in the ever loving fuck are you talking about? Who on earth called Nintendo an indie company?
>they are in fact on of the biggest companies in all of gaming.
Without looking where exactly do you think they fall?

>>714503808 (OP)
Yeah no kidding. Just look at VGAs. There is and has been a focused effort to completely take over the VG industry from Japan from Hollywood 2.0 and the people who will profit from it.

>>714536209
NTA but yes.

>>714504271
Why are you mad?

>>714504271
ok but go cry to western and sony for making games that is brainrot. Nintendo, despite making expensive kart simulator games, is not making games that makes even reddït look good.

>>714532467
That's not really a Nintendo phenomenon, that's just the life of a third shelf youtuber without any dignity. Some people just don't have standout talent, so they can either chase the algo hard, or eat shit with three digit views.
Nintendo happens to be one of the 15-20 topics right now. But you're not allowed to switch topics because the retards getting your Nintendo videos won't click your Blake Lively video.

nintendo removed sex (male/female) from their games long before most other japanese companies
nintendo also supports gay marriage despite it being illegal in japan
nintendo funds "pride" parades
they are at the forefront of DEI in japan

Reminder they also say in the exact same mii screen that these two options are just the two genders and the games still treat your miis as male or female.
Kikerock got scammed out of millions for nothing like on elden ring.

Your root for them like they're the underdog. You even make up nonsense conspiracies lol.

Smaller than Tencent, bigger than the other console manufacturers and publishers. Probably smaller than Valve due to Steam, but I could be wrong. After all, they own a portion of Pokemon.

>>714536814
what tv is that? like brand/model/size

>>714536974
Doesn't matter, they're still better than majority of other developers/gaming companies

>>714504271
>People are fed up with this gay company for babies and their Disney adult fanbase
That's Sony
> They’re bad for the gaming landscape
Sony and MS
>$80 for games is bad
Sony and MS pushed prices up first
>Toddler-tier difficulty for all of their major games is bad
Sony and MS, Nintendo games are unironically the only one's that treat you like you aren't a drooling retard that struggles to understand things like basic 3D space and positioning.
>Gross anti-consumer practices are bad
You can thank MS for starting it and Sony for popularizing it. Nintendo were last each time with these practices you're bitching about.

>>714505980
>unironically trusting the British
No one likes your kind Abdul

>>714537217

Okay, let's see. The most recent employee count for them was 8,205.
SIE has 12,700
According to recent reports Xbox had 20,000
EA, 14,500
Ubisoft, 17,782
Take two, 12,371
Reality labs, 17,000
Netease, 29,128
So yeah, they aren't that big compared to the heavy hitters. They're not too far off from companies like Nexon, 7,067 and Embracer, 7,873.

Journos twist words all the time. There was this one time Larian showed the average player character in BG3 and said "We give you all of those races with horns and tails, and this is what you make".

>>714537978

GOLDEN RULES OF PIRACY

>>714537217

Nintendo as a whole is smaller than both SIE and Xbox you retard.
>Probably smaller than Valve due to Steam, but I could be wrong.
Valve only has like 300 employees.
>After all, they own a portion of Pokemon.
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Owning pokemon doesn't make Gamefreak or TPC part of Nintendo.

>>714503913
Switch exposed PlayStation as a woke corporation. Now, journos aka trannies have no money to hormones. They are trying to boycott Nintendo because they are scared that PS6 will be a flop (No more free money to them)

>>714503913
This is why Nintendo Directs exist. Gaming journalism have always twisted Nintendo's words.

>>714503913
This is insanity if you think about it. What happened to simply making games that are fun and that people want to play?
It's the direct anti thesis of Iwata's vision.

>>714537978
Nintendo went from $60 to $80 tendie.

>>714539129
Nintendo said the don matrick quote twice and tendies fight to the death to defend them. Why would they not bleed their cattle dry?

>>714509749
>faggot runs Alien test on monitors to test Switch 2's LCD
>Alien test requires a web browser
... Wait a minute, the Switch 2 doesn't have a web browser. How did he run the test? How odd... He just magically gained access to a web browser that doesn't exist to run his test but also didn't disclose this important information nor explain where this web browser came from. That seems highly suspicious don't you think?

>>714538134
I'mm only referring to revenue

>>714539129
>It's the direct anti thesis of Iwata's vision.
Iwata's vision being to make as much money as possible without giving a shit about quality.

Eurogamer was always a shithole and because of that it went bankrupt and was sold off to IGN. Now they are a part of a bigger cesspool that will eventually get flushed out of the industry forever. Notice that all the gaming shit is being shoved up into one stinking pile in a desperate bid to survive.

And then the switch

>>714539927
Yamauchi didn't even play video games. He was just a business man who originally made toys and playing cards, but pivoted to making video games because he saw it as a new industry with lots of growth potential. Iwata was a total nerd.
