>Ritual poster finally gave up
Trying times, huh?
>>714626462It was corrected in two days because it happened during a weekend and microsoft support didn't give a fuck lol, that's how much of a non-issue it was
>>714626148/v/ will never concince me that this isn't the best Lady has ever looked.
Reminder that PS5s are literally melting as we speak and Stellar Blade is in development for Switch 2
>Nintendo has a lot of games ready to release and they're going to release at least one game a month to avoid droughts
>They're planning on releasing even more games
>third party support better than previous nintendo platforms
>Fastest selling console ever
>meanwhile playstation and xbox don't make shit anymore and spend most of the time firing people or cancelling games
Nintendo won
>>714627686The funniest thing about it is that the PS5 one is so full of AI generated slop games that even the wikipedos there are wondering if the list should exist at all.
Nintendo is the most evil and greedy company in human history and it's not even close. If you support any of this, you deserve to die in prison. And you will.
>>714626007Nintendo JP doesnโt have useless HR and DEI parasites bloating budgets and dev cycles.
>>714627965Even Snoy memes are ports.
>He still tries to cope with the robot he betrayed in another thread
Even he knows it has weak legs.
Nintendo are evil plagiarism
Speaking of plagiarism, what will Sony's next big game that totally didn't steal from Nintendo be?
Shitendo is evil, and if you support them, you are evil too
I wonder how much of his unfunnyjunk folder he has left to go. It's still hilarious how no one on that site likes him.
>>714628631It's called not having any editing skills and them make a nice, concise meme into a Buckley comic.
And even Buckley at least tried to add a punchline.
>>714628768Nah, that one's old as shit. Which is funny because Sony's latest game was literal toddler trash.
reminder that eric has admitted multiple times to having a CP folder.
>>714628876i know it's old. I just meant him posting it is new.
>>714627639you lost and got raped boyo
>Sony's latest exclusive is TLoU, a cheap copy of The Walking Dead
>It's the same garbage but even worse somehow
>It even has the same messages but are even more poorly written
>>714629024Smells like a hyper flop that already lost and got raped
>>714628448>nintendo fucks over a literal criminal for shoving DRM on the switchand this is bad because...?
>>714629174Not just DRM. Ransomware.
>>714626148He just never spams his cope-y pasta when he makes the threads in his sad attempt to get the threads banned
>>714629174>CHADtendo literally steps in to protect the people who are pirating nintendo products meanwhile sony sells you a $900 console that is bricked out the box

>>714631416Also after a x8 boost to chink games.
>>714631283No, you lost and got raped.
>>714629024>handheld PS5It would launch at $1000 and we would mysteriously not see any DROP THE PRICE spam in Snoy's comment sections.

I guess the /biz/god will have to bitch slap someone again
>>714631918Yeah, Eric is losing and getting raped
>>714631783Japan games have summer events with all the characters in swimsuits or less
chinese and korean games have summer events where all the characters are fully dressed, if they even have summer events at all
>>714631783your president is MIA little chinky. you have much bigger things to worry about.
Virtous just said the Switch 2 is comparable to the Series S and more modern in certain aspects thanks to DLSS. Perhaps that's what caused the new spam
>>714632198nah, it's the fact that Palworld lost 300k and hasn't been making money for Sony
>>714632252You're shitting me. This console launch keeps getting better and better lmao
>>714632338>>714609310Sony's "Palworld Entertainment" reports final loss of 42 million yen for fiscal year ending March 2025
Palworld Entertainment's final loss for the fiscal year ending March 2025 was 42 million yen. This was revealed in the "Financial Results Announcement" published in the "Official Gazette" on June 30th.
The company is a joint venture between Sony Music Entertainment (SME), Aniplex, and Pocket Pair.
It was established in July 2024 to promote the domestic and international licensing business for Pocket Pair's game "Palworld."
https://gamebiz.jp/news/408257
>>714632570probably the lawsuit, paying for collabs, and general pay. I doubt it's selling many copies these days. especially since it's on gamepass.
>>714632570Because unlike pokemon, palworld was a fad
>>714632570It's probably that they founded a multimedia company that isn't producing any multimedia.
>>714632841It's almost as if making a multimedia project revolving around an unfinished game is a horrible idea.
They didn't learn from Inafune's fumble.
>>714629024God, you can't believe how bad I can't wait for this thing.
When it flops we'll be able to finally put to rest the "Japan only cares about handhelds", "muh commute" and "muh hamster cage apartments" cope.
It's going to be glorious.
Why does famitsu threads defend garbage like scarlet and violet?
>>714632958watch it be bigger than the switch 2 and just as thick as the Steam Deck
>>714632986no one even mentioned those? did you finally OD on cope?
>>714633194yes you acted like i said something before
>>714633252I asked if your brain was fried from all the copium you are huffing. that in no way implies that you posted in the thread before.
>>714633312but what cope am i huffing if i just asked a question? Again you didnt disprove me. Just admit you immediately thought i was your schizo cause these threads are insane asylum for schizos
>>714627801>it's not even the right color>it's showing the system as a white box despite being primarily a handheldHow are you so bad at this despite living with NDS 24/7/365?
>>714632457Remember when third worlders claimed chinkworld was going to make pokemon fans switch to their game then the fad died a week later? lol
>>714633736they released a much better game than scarlet/violet and sold more too. What more do you want? Ive seen more palworld threads recently than scarlet/violet threads since that game barely lasted a week
>>714633839Literally didn't, erictranny.
Pokรฉmon sold 25 million copies
>>714633839Yawn, gonna have to try harder than that.
>>714633945>playersLmao, the tranny cope flopped
>>714633945>playersKek, there's that cope word again
>>714634096You clearly need it after palworld lost a bunch of money

>>714634169i think pokemon needs to win back its players more after pic related
>inb4 doesnt count again
For those that missed it, he believes there is no difference between owning 2d drawings and owning CP the way he does.
>>714634279Gen10 isn't that far off, anon. It's as simple as releasing a new gen of games.
By the way im not eric, i just really hate modern pokemon like most pokemon fans but i know im gonna get infinite schizos attacking me so whatever. Havent touched pokemon ever since sword and shield raped it
Palworld news truly broke him
>>714634253They'd simply release a new gen and then everyone's back to playing Pokรฉmon.
>>714634498why am i not allowed to dislike the new pokemon?
Has these threads become so long gone in schizo insanity that disliking new pokemon means you are an eric snoy faggot? I dont get it its actually disturbing me
>>714634530yes. there's also the fact that the terraria collba didn't boost the player number much.
>>714634578did i say you weren't? I was just making fun of you for running away ESL-kun
>>714634663well im being called a snoy eric for even liking palworld over new pokemon which i dont get why cause scarlet was a sonic 06 tier disaster
>>714634253sure pokemon will always sell but why should i praise them? What do these threads get out of worshipping Nintendo? Its weird that during the Wii U days i hoped nintendo would comeback ontop, what i didnt expect is the insanity of cultists attacking you for when nintendo or pokemon company doesnt try or jews your money. I guess these threads are a monkey paw. They are somehow worse than the XIV threads. Guess im too old for nintendo
>>714632570Only chinese play pal world and they dont have ps5s
>>714634958>another boogeyman i like a lot of games with cutscenes, something AC would never admit. Can these threads go 2 seconds without going full schizo and calling someone a name? I feel like im in a mental hospital
>>714634912then leave and filter the threads if they bother you so much.
>People are loving and enjoying scarlet and violet thanks to the switch 2 patch
>meanwhile palworld is forgotten and chink devs are losing a lot of money
Nintendo won
>>714635103if these threads exist just to call anyone a snoy eric or occasionally ACfag for just the slightest disagreement then why do they exist? If you cant disagree in a thread then they shouldnt exist because thats not what this site is for. Do you want famitsu threads to just be reddit tier where everyone is agreeing with each other?
>I'm not a schizo!
Says the schizo as he's found out.
>>714635186Imagine if SKG manages to take off for good. Sony's plans will go down in flames.
>>714635261Eric, seething about famitsu threads just proves it's you
>>714635325it's not him. it's more likely the macaco
>no one is talking about pokemon
>palcuck starts seething and shitting himself
NDS is a magical disease
>>714626007It's more that Nintendo knows how to run a "toy company" like they originally were/always have been. I don't mean in some insulting "Nintendo games are for babies unlike me a big macho man who plays GTA" way, but in how they still operate under the paradigm of
>Make doodad>Sell doodadSony and Microsoft are giant bloated conglomerates whose leadership don't see them as producing any one thing to sell, but finding ways to extract rent.
So...everyone in this thread agrees that pokemon scarlet and violet is a good game?
>>714635625sure. does that make you happy? did you get the answer you wanted? gonna keep playing the victim?
>>714633020Thats a given, It will use a amd apu
>>714635876why is it good? What makes that godawful game good aside from having the nintendo logo on it? And i dont wanna hear because its fun, explain why
>>714629136Port incoming. Gonna be fun looking back at this posts if it happens.
>>714635625>>714635915is this the new cope? trying to cry about a pokemon game existing?
>>714635915It's good because I like it. The DLC and playing on the switch 2 makes it even better.
>>714636096>its good cause you like itso you really have no reasoning? If Nintendo released ac shadows, you would just suddenly like it because its nintendo. You really just showed everyone ITT that you just like anything nintendo and anything that isnt is BAD. You are fucked in the head

latest news on the xenoblade pc ports??
>Tendies seething about palworld and wishing for its death
>meanwhile right now there are 100k players on steam alone
>>714637262its not hard to alt tab to this thread every few hours to laugh at the macaco then go on with my day until the next laughing session anon
>>714641396>Tendies seething about palworld and wishing for its deathWhat are you talking about? the game IS dead
>>714641265Why do people always use Xenoblade and Monolith for their Nintendo multiplatform shitposting?
>>714641968but xe won, fugu and hernia totally killed nintento....
>>714642019Monolith wasn't owned by Nintendo originally and used to do stuff on the PS2 (namely Xenosaga), so they see it as a huge blow.
>>714642019>>714642129Don't forget monolith were fairly close to faglus during that time, which angers normalfags because after faglus went full woke they feel they were "robbed" of an ally through monolith being fully acquired by nintendo.
Kunitsu Gami any good? Debating getting it
>>714642019Monolith was a third party before and retards see other xeno games and think they are just contractors for Nintendo.
Thing is, they are a first party studio since 2009 or so, and Iwata was the one pushing for Xeno name.
>>714643580Honestly no, it's actually kind of disgusting gameplay wise.
It feels like an abortion between dragon's dogma 2 and the MH wilds mechanics, but without anything that made each of those series stand out from any other action game, and if that wasn't enough it tries to shoehorn in rollslop elements through the boss combat design making shit feel more like a souls boss than a MH mon or big DD enemy.
Add to that the usual modern UE jankyness and blurry graphics and it legit feels just gross to play somehow.
>>714636538What the fuck did those niggers at compile heart do now?
>>714644331Basically admitted to lying about Nintendo censoring their games.
>>714627639Dark Witch 4 is on Steam though?
>SE can't do shit with gears because it would catch Nintendo attention and staff still is active.
>Bamco can't vomit Xenosaga HD because staff work at Nintendo and shit is unfinished either way, not mention they pretty much gave up and slapped saga stuff on recent games.
Hilarious but also fucked.
>Using the "Players" instead of hard sales cope
Reminds me of something else~
>>714643580it's generic jeetware with constant reuse of content for padding and the gameplay is not deep beyond button mashing attacks and skills
avoid, your money is better spent elsewhere
>>714644664>Bamco can't vomit Xenosaga HDActually the original staff a MS would be perfectly happy to work in a Xenosaga remaster but the higher ups at Bamco "doesn't think it will be profitable".

>>714644842player numbers are pitiful for a supposedly super popular gacha.
the real drama is that the morons in charge are going to get the game kicked off of steam because of their review campaign.
>>714642278So pretty much Nintendo saved Monolith in a way.
>>714644145>It feels like an abortion between dragon's dogma 2 and the MH wilds mechanicsHuh? Isn't it like a completely different kind of game? I thought it was like a tower defense.
>>714644664the fact that square and bamco are too mindrotten by sony to allow a xenogears/saga remaster/HD/port to exist because it would also be on switch is a shame
>>714644817Not that, look at Tales and Baten Kaitos ports.
Both run like absolutely shit.
>>714644842NTA but
>Gooks constantly brag about how popular BA and other gookslop is, using metrics like comiket doujins as "proof".>Gachaniggers constantly ask for PC clients for their gachaslop for whatever reason, with BA obviously being included in the list.>Basically all of them constantly say they would move to a PC client in a heartbeat to stop using their phones and android emulators.>The BA client does in fact come out. >The numbers are fucking abysmal. >>714634783>Reminder this is a gacha, so there SHOULD be a massive surplus of constant daily players.>Especially whenever the big regions (asia and the americas) wake up given seanigs, indogs and spics/macacos are very close to those timezones.>This accidentally ended up outing nexon over the fact all the BA popularity and "cultural impact" is literally just astroturfed.Reminder uma musume is not even a particularly big gacha either, while it makes decent money it's nowhere near dokkan or FGO, let alone IM@S or pokemon TCG.
>>714644842This.
>>714634783BA did poorly in player numbers so they're begging people now and that's against the Steam ToS.
>>714644817Which is code for "We will never allow saga to be Nintendo exclusive"
>>714645047no, it's a generic action-exploration game
the tower defense elements barely amount to much and are comparable to those quests where you have to defend some NPC or gizmo from waves of enemies
honestly it's basically assassins creed shadows: crapcom edition
>>714645149Horse Racing w/ anime girls is a niche as hell thing outside Japan, and it still did better than the more generic Anime School Girls of BA which just shows that as you said, it's astroturfed to hell back and forth.
>>714645016They 100% saved monolith. Namco basically gave it to them as a gift because they were a shitty developer in many aspects. Nintendo tardwrangled them into what you see today, without Nintendo Monolith would be a name of the past like Factor Five and Silicon Knights. That's why you see the usual suspects shitpost so much about Xenoblade, and why you see random "IT'S COMING TO PC" bait pop up from time to time. The people who didn't buy a single Xeno game while they were Sony only are Jealous they can't get it now
Out of curiosity I checked the numbers ATM.
Uma is around 30K while BA has now dropped to below the 10K mark.
>>714645116Don't they run better on Switch 2? I heard they hit 60fps now
>>714645389Namco have fuck all to do with that, in fact Monolith staff had some connections with Nintendo and asked for that. They got independent not much after Xenosaga 3.
>>714645360How long until some lonely coomer tries to fuck one of these horses and gets potato-stomped?
>>714645813You really think Namco would have allowed that sale with Nintendo, especially at the time, if they actually felt they needed them? Monolith is on record saying their relation with Bamco soured and they were basically put on timeout
>>714645962those horses live under constant yakuza oversight, there's not a chance in hell anyone not authorized to be near them actually does
>>714645705Tales of Symphonia run like ass even on other consoles, and problems get worse because shit still use that shitty PS2 port as base, meaning everything is capped at 30 fps.
Not mention other issues like bugged dialogues and all sorts of fuckery. Other ports are tad better but also have similar issues.
Baten Kaitos is similar status.
>>714645679Why can't gooks at least bot the game? They bot everything else.
>>714645962Lot of horses are male lol.
Not mention that fair amount of them already died.
>>714646162I should have made it clear I meant the Baten Kaitos remasters. The symphonia port can be put on Nasa computers and it will still run at 30 because those faggots at bamco would rather use the shitty ps2 version than acknowledge it was ever a gamecube title
>>714645092Monolith was lucky enough to wrangle KOS-MOS and others for Xenoblade 2
>>714646251The fact that the real Gold Ship gets hard every time he hears the word mating is hilarious.
>>714646302Monolith didn't had any sort of plans for Xenoblade, in fact it was called Monado beggining of the world, first game is quite light on references despite still using whole gnostic theming.
After 2 they said fuck it and now are redoing whole perfect works, helps that Nintendo gives them blank approval for whatever now.
>>714649420Xenoblade 2 cemented their position even if game got utterly fucked by zelda and mostly outsourced as result. Quite influential despite everything.
>Sold rare to Microsoft
>bought Monolithsoft
>NTR'd Hal and IntSys
Why did Nintendo do it?
>>714650000>>NTR'd Hal and IntSysqrd? first time i hear of this
>>714650000Intsys and Hal have quite good relationship with them, what you saying?
>>714650101Nintendo had planned to acquire them in the late 1990s but changed their minds
>>714650171>Nintendo planned to buy intsys.They dodged a mountain sized bullet.
>>714650171They don't have any particular reason to, fire emblem is leashed and fuckload of Kirby stuff is co owned by Nintendo.
Their other IPs are foot note.
>>714632570That's not the game itself or its developer, it's a licensing business sort of like The Pokemon Company.
Pocket Pair are the developers and they're rolling in the dough. Palworld Entertainment on the other hand, is basically a scheme to milk investors for cash on promises of future spinoffs and multimedia that don't exist.
It's another case of "Sony dumps money into black hole trying to copy another company, more news at 11"
>>714650171Nevermind, intsys, not arcsys, my hateboner for arcsys blinded me for a sec there.
I thought they already owned IS like they do monolith.
>>714650000Nintendo didn't have majority ownership of Rare and sold its portion when the brothers sold their shares to Microsoft.
>>714650601High ups didn't wanted sell, and MS slapped stamper brothers with wads of cash.
They couldn't do much besides outbid MS, which would be ridiculous costly.
>>714650000rare sold THEMSELVES to microsoft then got pissy when nintendo didn't want to go into a bidding war with microsoft
>>714650971even back then their games were not worth going into a bidding war over with fucking microsoft, the fuck were they expecting?
>>714651615The stampers wanted out and Nintendo saw the writing on the wall, people seldom mention the fact that talent was getting out of rare at the time
>>714652094that's an admission BA is astroturfed to shit if anything
>>714626007>TFW even when Nintendo fucks up executively with Digital Physical Games they still know how to make Games still>TFW also Microsoft and Sony can not figure out how it all works. What the fuck lol. Nintendo may as well name itself Immortal Game Creator because literally they will be around far longer than anyone else and continue into the next 100 years at this rate, while Microsoft and Sony abandon the market if they do not get it together.
>>714652094>Everything Koreans and their shills do is project what they do to othersThat actually explains our schizo's general behavior.
>>714653079>Nintendo fucks up executively with Digital Physical Gamesreminder goykeys were a honey trap to fuck over jew third parties
reminder virtual key cards are literally just digital ownership plus, allowing you to lend shit
>>714635525Agreed and not only that but the executives and investors are out of touch, "Better graphics" "More cutscenes" "huge budgets" "More LIVE SERVICES" then they get rejected and end up losing billions and wonder why they can not get into the market at all. It's like they do not know how to make games or how they work and one must know that to be able to do that before they can call themselves worthy of being called a "GAMING" company.
>>714644979>>714645153I swear to god, if Blue Archive gets banned from Steam, they will deserve it for being retards in the first place. Literally do not inflate your review count by offering free stuff for reviews. It's not a good idea. But you know everyone who says South Korea based, Japan is DEI. They just do not listen.
>>714653462You know remember Project KV by the rogue Blue Archive devs being stillborn because of how incredibly dumb they were about the whole thing.
>Xbox firing thousands of people again so Nadella can waste money on AI
>Sony can barely publish one game a year
>everybody freaking out about GTA6 missing 2025, "survive till 25" never manifested so the longterm effects of what GTA6 might've done for the market are still unknown
>meanwhile Nintendo, publishing reasonably budgeted games that didn't take over a decade to make:
>>714653287>It's like they do not know how to make games or how they workInvestors and execs generally do not know a thing about the products they're tied to because they are so high up the chain they basically only get whispers of the whispers of the thing. They only think of stuff as products in the most raw sense imaginable and nothing else.
>>714653563Yes I understand, it's just South Korea is listening to 3rd worlders, which is not a bright idea if you wish to run a successful business model. Sure they can like fanservice(I do as well), they can support you online, they can post memes. But when it comes to understanding distribution, and rules they seem to like breaking them a lot and cry foul.
>>714653919Playing the victim is what they're best at.
>>714653880They would do great in the South Korean and Chinese market lol. Everything is disposable there. I wonder why they only target Japanese companies and Western ones because they care about the long term.
>>714645679It actually gets even fucking funnier.
Turns out the umamusume game has it's playerbase split across 2 releases, as they are region locked one to japan and one to the rest of the world.
>JP version: 6,292 players right now. 8,678 all-time peak 27 June 2025.https://steamdb.info/app/3564400/charts/
>Globab version: 27,838 players right now. 34,017 all-time peak 5 July 2025.https://steamdb.info/app/3224770/charts/
>>714653729All the Switch 2 misinfo and smearing is also just backfiring and serving as more advertisement for the thing. Not shutting up about it makes it so it's always on people's mind thus increasing sales.
>>714645149>using metrics like comiket doujins as "proof"BAfags are modern KanColle fags?
good to know
>>714628374I'd not be surprised if they went for the hybrid approach with the PS6, even if it's two skus.
Because honestly what would be the point of a more powerful PS5? It's ridiculous how long games take to make these days, going hybrid would allow them to cut back on that.
>even with the review campaign, gooks can barely compete with a jp game in terms of review numbers
>>714626007Nintendo are the last great video game company. We must cherish and protect them.
>>714654142I still don't know why these schizos think being deranged assholes will somehow stop others from buying a switch 2
>>7146532493rd parties basically demanded them. Nintendo basically said as much while tactfully avoiding throwing them under the bus entirely.
>>714657202Nintendo existing. Honestly you get the same shit out of Xbox.
Look at how many articles were posted about Xbox hardware being dead or Forza being dead and then the actual news was
>this dude that hasn't worked there in years said some shitrather than some actual official motion. It's like how much Nintendo stuff is just random AI summations of things Kit & Krysta said this week, which will be of less and less value the longer they haven't worked for Nintendo.
>>714632570Its almost like you can't make a successful franchise out of people hate buying a game to "own" Nintendo.
>>714632570It's not just the port it's all the stuff they're doing to try to make it Pokemon/Sanrio but not controlled by Pokemon/Sanrio
>>714657202People with late stage NDS become unhinged and violent at the sight of anyone playing a nintendo system
>>714655461And lose them the audience they indoctrinated into only wanting the absolute best graphics while shitting on anything less
>>714657202Third worlders and broke lefties are mad because they can't afford it. They were hoping the console will flop so nintendo can lower the price but everyone is buying it so they're taking their unhinged anger towards S2 owners
>>714659064The Xbox One launched for 499 and no one complained about it (they complained about everything else regarding the system)
The PS5 launched for 499 and, once again, no one gave a shit. A digital version launched for 100 less and no one went on a campaign about how you don't own the games you buy due to being digital
Same exact story with the Xbox Series, except the digital only cost less than the physical one. Again, no one got their panties in a bunch.
Yet the moment Nintendo releases a console that's still cheaper than the competition and is compatible with physical media out the box, everyone acts like the anti-christ pressed the nuclear button
>>714659473Its more than that
Sony released a digital only "pro" version of the PS5 that was $800 before they raised the price multiple times, that had a disk drive you had to buy that cost $80 and if you didn't connect to the internet it was bricked out of the box
And NONE of the journos or youtube grifters did went on a crusade like they have against the switch 2 and nintendo
>>714657491GeHa hit the nail on the head
>>714657202I still don't understand how they got this psychotic.
The "issues" they believe Switch 2 has don't affect them in any way. Why not just go back to playing Fortnite on their PS5s?
>>714646098From what I remember Nintendo tried to acquire Namco before the merger with Bandai but in the end Bandai won out so a way to get Nintendo to give up the shares they had in order to begin the acquisition they gave them Monolith who was already on the outs with Namco but Nintendo had an interest in them for some fucking reason so they took the deal
>>714649669In many ways it was for the best since they basically get a blank check from Nintendo and now they are Nintendoโs biggest non EPD studio I think. Definitely bigger than HAL, IS or Next Level
So this tread is hating on all mobile games too?
>>714625467 (OP)>2. [NSW] Tamagotchi Plaza โ 102,289 / NEW>3. [PS5] Death Stranding 2 โ 71,964 / NEWNice game, snoytard trannies
>>714657202Being brown and living in a third world country.
>>714637262>Don't you have jobs or lives?Why would ANYONE want either of those things? Are you retarded?
>>714661721>So this tread is hating on all mobile games too?Yes? What kind of fucking newfag are you? Hating mobile games has been the default since fucking forever. Not just in this thread. Not just across /v/. But sitewide. It was the norm across the entire Internet.
Are you gacha addicted to the point where you haven't been able to recognize that?
