In this era of mass layoffs and video game companies going under, it seems like they're in their golden age. How is that possible?

by making games and not bloating their budgets with useless DEI, graphics, and marketing

>>714727776
>not bloating their budgets with useless antiwhiteism, graphics, and marketing
corrected there lad.

>>714727916
it's the same thing anon

>>714727776
>by not doing
Exactly.

Because they didn't fall for the gamepass meme or the "we need to make the next fortnite" meme.

>>714727776
>>714727916

Don't be retarded ya babies.

>>714727697 (OP)
They're the only ones making games

>>714727697 (OP)
It all comes down to not blindly following trends. For better or worse.
Means they are sometimes far behind industry standards for certain aspects, but also means that they're able to come up with new ideas and give people something that didn't know they wanted.

>>714728040
No it really isn't you pussy bitch.
''''DEI''' means fuck all.
It's an abstraction used by
1. treasonous curs and kikes
2. puppets of above
3. balless ccks with no spine nor a people.
Quit being their fucking bitch. Exit the antiwhite narrative.
Calling it antiwhite ACTUALLY explains why. These people hate Whites, hate Western kind, hate Western culture and ethics and want it all destroyed.
Rip the curtain down and take a stance that matters. Start advocating for White Wellbeing.

>>714728180
>i'm a cucked bitch
I didn't really ask frankly.
Antiwhiteism is why. Period.
Purge the antiwhiteism all the ''DIE''' inciatives go away. All the diversity firings end. The cultural and biological erasure of Western kind stops. Companies start hiring skilled motivated talent. Salaries increase. Gaming improves quality wise, as do other markets/industries.
Microsoft JUST laid off 9k people, most of who are White, just to bring in h1b jeets.
It's the primo example of diversity firings right now.
Get over yourself child

nintendo is slow to adopt trends which means they skipped an entire generation of mindless panic spending on GAAS and subscription service models. Had nintendo done what sony and microsoft did and waste 10 billion dollars on financial dead ends they would be laying off people too.

>>714727697 (OP)
Their economy is failing and nips have to pay 28 dollars for rice so their sales are about to take a massive nose dive lol

>>714727697 (OP)
Shame their games are dogshit

>>714728678
They don't hate white people, they're just jealous as they indicate with their miscegenation with us at every single opportunity.

>>714728751
They love the "what is being diversified, where is the inclusion?" questions until you ask where the pro white rally is in places like New Guinea. It's always been an acronym for sniveling connivers to parrot because it makes them look virtues.

Diversity is perversity. Oh you want something to be pure and drinkable? You better filter that shit, nigger. I'm not paying 24k prices for 16k gold.

Nintendo doesn't make that many games, they just keep the price high and keep selling them to children. There was a single Mario Kart on Switch, two Zeldas, one 3D Mario, one 3D Kirby, and a bunch of shovelware with the same characters as always. They do well because kids and manchildren are addicted to yippee man.

>>714729252
>Diversity is perversity
This is a very good meme curative.
Aces to you for that.
But no they ansolutely do hate Whites, completely.
They are also jealous of what our ancestors created though, gifted to the world, and the potential we hold as their descendants/heirs equally.
It's both.
But keep up the strong work Wario chad, I like you twice as much now.

Lol how is this a golden age for Nintendo?

Because they get to make money. That’s what matters to me, the customer.
I’m not a cultist btw.

>review bombed by the same people dumb enough to buy the Switch 2

It’s over. Intelligence is the antithesis to deceit, and these people are opening their sand-blinded eyes

>>714727697 (OP)
Their competition continuously shoots itself in the foot.

>>714727697 (OP)
because they have lots of money from 40 years of success so they don't have to bow to investor pressure, thats why they can spend 5 years making a game and not go broke

They're the best video game company and it isn't close. People complain about them all the time because they won't let idiots pirate their software or do whatever with it but it's because they know how valuable their games are.

>>714743740

>>714743414

If it wasn't their golden age you'd not be foaming at the mouth to emulate their games, or get them on pc/steam officially.
Cope and seethe more.

>>714744126
To date there is only 1(one) Nintendo game you can’t emulate. That list will grow (slowly) at $80 a pop for 5 hour tech demos, but it will eventually reset back to 0.

>>714744126
if it was their golden age people would find a way to buy their consoles to play the game properly instead of begging for scraps

>>714727697 (OP)
I don't get it, just wait until it has more games. Well whatever.

I haven't given a shit about emulating their games in years. I have all Nintendo's games that are worth a damn.

You mean selling 3.5mil consoles in 5 days?

>>714742214
It’s $10 for the upgrade. Why would you be stupid enough to buy it for 80, lmao

>>714727697 (OP)
Nintendo both hires and fires few people, and they're a very conservative company.

Meaning that they don't aim for record growth, and therefore, don't crash and burn like so many others.

>>714747841
They actually hire a lot of people.
They plunder talent from other Japanese devs frequently. It got so bad everyone else had to up pay and benefits to stop it.
Plus the surge of hiring due to the recent mass self investment.
Firings are rare though yes.

>>714728936
Best answer ITT, most of why Concord tanked was cause it was trying to chase the Overwatch trend 5 years after everyone got sick of Overwatch.

Would also like to add they generally avoid scope creep and bloat that other companies are susceptible to, have far more respect for their own franchises (compared to games like FFXVI trying to reinvent the wheel and failing miserably, or Crash Bandicoot being deemed a failure for "only" selling 5 million copies instead of 20 million), and that the Japanese economy is generally way more stable compared to America's aggressive "gambling with investor money"-based economy.

>>714728936
>nintendo is slow to adopt trends which means they skipped an entire generation of mindless panic spending on GAAS and subscription service models
it's not even that true, they just managed to get GAAS tier hype through a real game with splatoon and technically mario kart

Turns out treating video games like toys for children was the answer all along.

It's the best Mario Kart copebro.

>>714748961
The game literally sold more after the the patch that supposedly kill it meaning all the bullshits that was spewed on youtube was by a very loud and sweaty group of people that concerned themselves too much with a game make for family.

>>714728936
I think the closest we got to actually losing Nintendo is when shareholders forced them to make mobile games. But it feels like they weaseled their way out of that by mostly half-assing things until shareholder attention spans ran out.

>>714728936
>nintendo is slow to adopt trends which means they skipped an entire generation of mindless panic spending on GAAS
they experimented and got that out of their system with mobile shit thankfully
>subscription service models.
they still got NSO and pokemon HOME

Looks like Expedition 33 is way better

>>714752608

Wew

they weren't having idiotic buying wars for game developers like Sony and MS were having a year or two ago for one thing.

>>714727697 (OP)
Because the cost of living in Japan is way less than in America, and they only elect lesser retards instead of grande ones

These fags were trying to defend welcome tour. They cannot be reasoned with. Nintendo could shit in their mouths and they'd act like it was the finest fudge.

>>714752779
>literally seething over every little thing Nintendo does

Ooft.

They keep cost down by making everything they do 10 years outdated to cut corners because they know their audience has no standards and will pay good money to play the same game for 30 years.

>>714752934
Once they started sucking ass, yeah. It pisses me off how shit they've become.

>>714752608
you mean subtract 10 from E33 for the western jrpg bonus and add 20 for the nintendo penalty

>>714752990
Holy cope

>snoys go into a 20 year long tard rage over this

Switch 1 has sold 155 million so far. It will go down in history as the most successful video game system ever.

Proof that emulation appeals to nobody but half a dozen degenerate 3rd world poorfags.

How's that Switch 2 emulator coming along? XDD

>>714753187
as always
anything the snoys claim is bad about nintendo is projection about something else doing it instead

DEIE(which is its real name)
Was a way to open up big companies so that it wasnt just the rich taking seats from the other rich. Diversity in games is not DEIE.
But the rich want you to get mad at DEIE so they can keep their seat and pass it to their peers.
They want you to blame DEIE and see it as anti white. You are being played buy the same guys you act you are fighting against. You are the tool, not the other people you think you stand above

>>714753875
Sure pal whatever.
It's still antiwhite.
It's deliberate targeting to force Whites, especially White men, out of high ranking jobs, or colleges, or ensuring they never get entry to those places to begin with.
Every company brags about their increased diversity firings quarter on quarter.
Kill antiwhiteism the whole system dies no matter what.

People confuse real DEI with pandering to twitter troons. Adding a character to a game that, in a cutscene, sits down and comes and proclaims to be non-binary isn’t DEI, it’s just shitty pandering to a tiny audience of twitter troons. Nintendo games have real DEI like accessibility options for colorblind people for example. Nintendo focuses on making fun games with no bullshit, that’s why they’re successful.

Nintendo simply knew how to play the game like Valve. Games will return to Nintendo and PC. Also, after playing many PC and Nintendo FPS, yes, Halo did ruin FPS for all of 7th gen and much of 8th gen until Doom 2016. Switch and Steam Deck also helps save FPS games due to not having dated controls like the Xbox controller stuck in 2005.

>>714727916
Nintendo being Japanese probably dislikes the DEI-bit where East-Asians are punished even harder for being East-Asians than "Whites" are punished for being "White".
"DEI" simply hates capable people regardless of their origin, because they constantly disprove that we are all the same and deserve all the same.
"DEI" is what kills excellence. "DEI", if not thoroughly uprooted, is going to get everyone killed, because there is no place for anyone in a Socialist world.
In the Socialist world, there is no "one" - there is only an "us", a "we", of "persons" (as specified by the Socialist officers), no man no more.

Fuck Socialism. Get that malignant cancer on mankind out of here.

>legion of cult members that will buy their slop regardless of quality, and at any price
And that's why the N64, Gamecube, and Wii-U sold like shit compared to their competitors?

>>714727697 (OP)
By ignoring the 30 year old nostalgia ridden internet addicts and just doing whatever they want like always.

>>714757327
If you're into memes like technically achieving "4k and hdr", sure

>>714757310
what a disingenuous retard. Of course thousands of AI slop is worse than mere tens. You can't even find it on playstation store unless you specifically search for it

You really should stop throwing stones in your glass house

>>714757532
only 13 results, now show us how many is on shitch. I'll wait

>>714757503
sony cultists everyone
99% of the exclusives on playstation being shit that makes mobile games look good by comparison is okay

>>714757503
>playstation can't get nearly as many normal games OR shovelware games on their system
grim
how long until they have to go the Xbox route and just become nothing but gamepass?

>>714757481
No, I'm into 10x power jump compared to Switch instead of 4.5x jump from PS4 to PS5

>>714757639
Sony had a bigger price hike too considering PS4s were selling for like $200 before the PS5 came out.

>>714757590
You've shown 14 on your screencap >>714756980
I'll wait for you to show more

>>714757401
Snoys will do what they're gonna do. Jesus, just look how they enabled that horizon and last of us shit
But if nintendo is falling off their tried and true path in favor of juicy immediate turnarounds for the struggling investors, I'm not going to ignore articles that further demonstrate that

>>714757685
>But if nintendo is falling off their tried and true path in favor of juicy immediate turnarounds for the struggling investors
Factually untrue.

>>714757532
hes spent two decades throwing rocks at everyone so all he has left is a field of broken glass

>>714757639
>muh puhwer
that's nice. as long as you can justify enabling their sleazy practices and enjoy consooming the new thing they want you to want, I guess that's all that matters

>>714757685
>if
thankfully thats still not happened

>>714757685
Nintendo gets nitpicked by gaming "journalists" more than US president-nominees lol.
That's not a sign that they are failing investors.
Hell, most of the normies that were bitching about Switch 2 stopped already, it's already back to the usual suspects that cried all throughout the Switch 1 lifespan.

>>714757684
well as I said you're disingenuous fuck. Don't want to prove your point wrong?

>>714757753
Why are Snoys and Xbots so fixated on coming up with lies that Nintendo and Valve plan to make the same retarded decisions Sony and Microsoft made?

>>714757503
>>714757878

>>714757832
I think those normalfags felt embarrassed. Can't wait for the next gen Xbox in 2027 and the PS6 in 2028 completely nuke their popularity the moment they start shilling them.

>>714757973
Keep being a cultist

>taking anything a silver tongued corpo has to say at face value
>subscription service like everyone else allowing them to become complacent, including nothing you "need", but you can only backup AND retrieve your save data if, only means of playing retro if you can't/ won't navigate the jacked up second hand market because no vc, inconsistent/ broken online play in modern games
>Originality to just up specs and add 1.5 features
Some anons enjoy the pageantry and theatre of modern gaming, I suppose

I was being sarcastic. idgaf about the shareholders that are unfortunately doing better than ever, and you shouldn't either

>>714758320
>and you shouldn't either
Speak for yourself I've owned some NTDOY since 2022 lol

>>714758150
1. Investors aren't struggling like you said
2. Nintendo has no reason to try to appease them
3. Originality is MK World and DK Bananza

>>714758527
>Investors aren't struggling like you said
I was using sarcasm
>Nintendo has no reason to try to appease them
lol
>Originality is MK World and DK Bananza
>Mk... BUT OPEN WORLD, that's a trendy meme!!
DK ODYSSEY... WITH CUNNY AND MUH DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENT
> BURSTING WITH ORIGINALITY
The entertainment sector (movies, tv, music, games, etc) has been creatively bankrupt for YEARS. I don't have a problem seeing things for what they are, what I DO mind is a corpo fuck pissing in a cup and telling me it's lemonade, and if I sign up for a subscription, I'll get a monthly dose of sugar to mitigate that asparagus quality

>>714758836
>the games are shit but I'm still intensely invested in their pricing and everything the company does
you're the worst kind of tendie.

>>714759165
idc about pricing. That's a poorfag problem for poorfags that actually want a switch 2. I am however interested in how the industry pans out moving forward, in a watch the world burn kinda way

>>714758836
Yes, Nintendo is doing better than ever. Investors are happy, as evidenced by that question. Ignore the reply from the "silver tongued corpo" if you want, the investors themselves are saying they are happy and attributing the success to Nintendo's unique culture.
>BURSTING WITH ORIGINALITY
Yes, they brought back 3D Donkey Kong after 30 years. How many 3D platformers with destructible environments and enemies are there?
MKW too. They made it open world, connected the courses to give it a road trip feel, added the ability to jump to do tricks and ability to drive around with your friends.
You'd have a point with your "they just upped the specs" if the games just looked better, but that clearly isn't the case

>>714759621
bruh why do you tendies act like basic stuff is something innovative?
