They want maximum profit so every IP has to be for everyone today, which means girl stuff in games traditionally targeting boys

That's why Peach no longer dates the fat manlet (men find it funny and charming but girls want Ken)
That's why Donkey Kong is no longer a Chad but emotionally all over the place with a "cute" default face and a female sidekick
That's why Zelda gets more and more to do despite all of it being boring
That's why Fire Emblem or even games like Animal Crossing look like a caricature of themselves today
That's probably the only reason we still get Metroid Prime games while F-Zero is dead and buried
That's why remasters get censored to not offend any girl
And it's why the movies are written how they are written

Nintendo is arguably one of the most feminist companies in gaming right now, which is a bit of a double whammy considering this place has sung them praises for not doing propaganda

>Some scientific research about a phenomenon known as "Cute Aggression" just showed up on my radar. As I was reading into it, numerous light bulbs started flashing in my head. It explains so much about what we already know about the differences between the liberal and conservative brain. The Amygdala! It is also heavily involved in the reaction to cuteness and is involved in reward processing for behavioral responses. If you have an underdeveloped amygdala, you are more vulnerable to cuteness overload which activates an aggressive response wherein you want to attack, hurt or destroy the source of the cuteness.
>I think Cute Aggression warrants some more investigation by interested parties here on /pol/ and elsewhere, I think it can directly compliment some of our strategies going forward. Cute Aggression turns out to be more prevalent in young girls and feminists. I bet you could predict which girls are more likely to become rabid feminists by analyzing their response to cuteness. Why do we get so much flak from leftists and even some people who claim to be right-wing (neocohens, cuckservatives) about using anime avatars and posting anime memes–it's because they have underdeveloped amygdala. Why are most Western cartoons and AAA games so ugly, with the exception of say French cartoons or stuff derived or influenced by Disney classics: because the Jewish producers and art directors tend to become aggressive with cute artwork, they really don't like it. Why do the corrupt leftist and globalist elite partake in child sex trafficking, rape and torture? Why has child vore emerged in Jewish occult practices? Why do Jews run the worst of the hentai and porn industries? Cute Aggression and the brain chemistry involved explains it all.

if the japanese version is the same i dont care, nintendo america is a cuck company

I don't really see why men are upset about this? Mario is a great guy but he isn't an appealing mate. You are allowed to have different kinds of relationships in life. There is nothing wrong with being kind and helping people out just because you aren't dating them.

Girls like people being in relationships though

You can blame this movie being a success and even the usual chuddies barely criticizing it. It's at least 30% about girl power and completely changes Peach and just made her act like any other cartoon girl today when her powers were always serendipity in the games
>"oh I happen to wear a dress so I can float"

what did nintendo mean by this

>>716420283
it's not just mario, op opsted other examples. dumb online pr marketer

Nintendo is actually retarded if this is how they think. It's a milked to death series, so if you have a problem with Peach being a damsel why not just let the series move on? Declare that they are a couple now, give Bowser more things to do than just trying to Kidnap Peach, maybe come up with some new villains and stories that aren't shit.

>>716419381

You people are so fucking stupid, holy fuck.

Ngl it REALLY sours the games for me, especially the early ones if the main objective is just saving a "good friend". I dont save "good friends" they are adults themselves and if they happen to get kidnapped then thats on them. I dont know whats got into Nintendo lately but they really need to knock it off.

This has to be deliberately spiteful so they can revise Peach into some girlboss.>>716420325 was right there was not enough kickback from this movie. Zelda movie is sure to have some fuckery now I guarantee it.

Feels like it just economizes on movie Peach's "badassness". They even changed the face to resemble the movie cuntface more. Probably not awful but a waste of Good-Feels time.

As men continue to drop out of gynocentric society and women get gifted makework office jobs with 6 figure salaries it's inevitable companies will pander to them more because now they have even more disposable income to recklessly spend. There's a reason they never "expand the audience" of female-oriented media while all male-oriented media has to be for "everyone" (meaning women) now.
It's not going to get any better.

Surely you meant for "girls" , right?

Reminder that most jobs are just daycare centers so that women dont have kids. Giving them the right to vote meant we split from the traditional Family vote to the individual and all politics followed suit. No longer did anyone in politics have to cater to the Family and be a representative for family values. They just had to get YOUR vote.

Same goes for Nintendo. They are slowly moving away from being known as the platform for families. You just think they still are cause of how protective they are of their properties when in fact they are simply totalitarians now.

>>716422116
>30 years of teasing for a subversion to calculatedly sell more games to girls
You’re fucking retarded if you think this would be a good idea.

I hypothesize that Shigeru Miyamoto is planning on finishing Mario's story because he doesn't want new writers and developers to ruin the characters in his absence.

Crazy when you realize all these retcons and fanfiction flamewars arise from the graphical limitations of a 45 year old arcade game.

Nintendo understands now they just have to get YOUR money. they have a cult of devoted followers and most of them DO NOT have families.

Why do you think Zelda TP was delayed again and again? It was indeed supposed to be very Tolkien-like but then they turned it into shojo anime shit with Midna, the wolf shit, focus on all the other girls that doesn't feel fleshed out.

Remember it was a Wii launch title, the moment that marks Nintendo's shift from targeting boys to aiming for "nongamers."

Nintendo makes games about women who look and act like women. They didn’t take Mario or Link* and turn them into women, and then call fans sexist for not going along with it.

>>716418643 (OP)
Anon shouldn't be surprised about Mario getting Corporate Friend-zoned, he's the face of a huge franchise and putting him in to a solid relationship would bring too much baggage.

Remember, Phoenix Wright and Kazuma Kiryu are both virgins despite adopting their own orphanage worth of kids.

Thats why their games become shittier. There is a strong correlation between wokeness and things being shit--or at least worse than they could be

This is going to lead to an entire new generation of Peach/Zelda NTR porn and I'm here for it.

>>716421936
Dude, it's a Japanese series with a cartoony mascot. Knowing how they think, it's more likely that Mario will end up with Pauline since she's a bombshell whereas Peach looks like cartoon in comparison. It's rare for two cartoony characters to end up with each other in a series that's not serious. Sega tried to do the same thing with Sonic and Madonna/Elise whereas Amy wasn't taken seriously as a love interest by the Japanese devs.

Weird projecting but okay

>>716427128
This is false.
Nintendo will want to appeal to female gamers who don't feel like playing as Mario.

NINTENDO ON TOP AGAIN BABY
8 MORE YEARS OF SEETHE
HAHAHAHAHA

>>716427407
That might be digging too deep there. It all boils down to DK not being as appealing, or cool as he used to be.

>>716427128
We labeling all games with children characters in them pedo games now? Sony and Microsoft are just as pedophilic as Nintendo, then.

>>716421676
Who says they haven't already? How else do you explain Lil' Pauline?

>>716427736
Bananza is a prequel

>>716427620
Why? Because he's not perma-scowl? It's hilarious how the people who worship Rare DK ignore or forget that he's been just as doofy and memetic as classic and Bananza DK, and the fact he was unplayable in several of his own games because he was the pathetic kidnapped damsel in distress.

Nintendo are just too corporate and safe now, happens to any business that gets too big

>>716427805
This is most obviously false.

>>716426823
>>716427407
Maybe if you word it like that but not really. 99% of Nintendo characters are inoffensive, harmless toddler huggables (even Link is basically a eunuch today, Captain Falcon is dead despite his IP having endless potential, Fire Emblem protags haven't looked masculine since PoR), so it was naturally part of DK's charm that he his signature expression was a bit more masculine, focused and stoic. And that's just a good design for a gorilla anyway. The official 2D art still understands this. It's the 3D model that's like a glitch in the matrix and just looks kinda retarded.

>>716426857
Nice selfie.

>>716426729

>>716428256

>>716428041
>even Link is basically a eunuch
nitpick by why put the emphasis on link? if any character is going to be eunuch coded it's going to be the peter pan elf boy..

>>716428392
Still looks like a man to me, and he still slaughters monsters, demons, and the very personification of power and evil every other week. So what exactly should I be chimpinp out and screaming that I'm under attack over?

>>716428041
The old design also made it more special when he DID pull funny faces, which he did do. In Bananza it's just constant tard faces

>>716428660
Never said he doesn't look like a man (though I would say bitchboy) or that he used to look like a spacemarine. Are you incapable of not strawmanning? Doesn't look like you have a lot of confidence in your views

>>716428640
>peter pan elf boy..
That's Kokoris, Link is basically just a normal human and there is no reason for him to look more feminine than this

>>716422469
No argument, nu-male

>>716418643 (OP)
the one thing i'll say in nintendo's defense is that at least nintendo actually tries to appeal to women. most devs don't actually do that, they appeal to a political caricature they created themselves.

>>716428808
i understand updating his design, all the designs get updates and you can always improve something, but yeah bananza just completely changing it is stupid.

Tbh no one on here at least would be talking about it as much as we have without her. It inspires intrigue.

I'd say it's a natural inclusion, not forced in my book. It's not like she can fight at all

>>716428927
Everywhere I look on /v/ there's people losing their minds that Link not being ultra-manly and DK not being permanently angry are direct attacks upon the male gender itself and they're being targeted and wiped out by their enemies who hate men. They're everywhere in this thread, so it's not strawmanning when it's one of the most common talking points on /v/.

>>716428110
>Odd that Daisy is stuck to 2d games or sports/party stuff, feels she should have been in a Luigi's Mansion.

Honestly, I've been playing Mario games since '97 and I don't care about canon fictional shipping : in the games there's a lot of pink hearts, Mario blushing, etc...
Nintendo can't erase that with a statement.
Bowser will remain a princess kidnapper, Wario will remain a greedy anti hero / villain, DK will remain a villain / hero, Cranky will remain grumpy no matter what happens in the next stuff.
Star Wars hasn't been ruined if you stop at 6, Terminator is still great if you stop at 2, Matrix is still excellent if you stop at 2.

They framed it as 'cucking' an angle pushed by shippers (even though it isn't) because that was the only way they could make their ship seem wholesome and like a lost opportunity

It's ok for them to hook up Mario with dozens of women but the moment you hook up Peach with someone other than Mario in front of them and they'd want your head on a stick, no I don't think so.

lol i see what you mean guys, trollin on 4 chan is so funny!

>>716438619
>Don't forget they are closing the year with Zelda Warriors where Link won't be a main character, if he even appears.

Because the whole game is SET IN THE DISTANT PAST and Link remains in the future in Tears of the Kingdom.

Link’s furry ancestor will be in it

>>716437612
Good god

So who was Pauline singing about/for at the end of odyssey?

The song was supposed to be about mario and peach but they didnt even get together in that ending and now its confirmed they are forever friends. Was that song secretly about pauline and mario being married and going on a honeymoon?

maybe that pauline schizo is right

Bowser and a reluctant peach with Mario trying to save her.

>>716419287
I actually wont play this game since Link isn't the main character like in AOC. I was the only person who liked that game and they fucking ruined it, holy shit, nobody likes lobotomized totk zelda and her gang of masked inbreds

>>716439629
But what does walled garden mean?

Also if it was a romantic song, why would peach reject him and friendzone him? That is completely fucking off

idk why nintendo would make a romance song like this just for peach to reject mario which is why it might hint at pauline

>>716439712
AOC is shit because it ventures off into alternate universe bullshit instead of being a prequel to BotW.

Age of Imprisonment will actually be a canon prequel to TotK because the devs listened to the outcry of fans about the first game.

>>716439231
Then don't have it take place in the past where you don't even have the hero of the series? Or just find a way for Link to show up there like the time travel shit they already did in the 2020 game. Or ideally stop milking BotW and make a stand-alone Zelda Warriors game like the first one which can have a lot more characters, enemies, settings and also character designs that actually suit a combat-focused action games instead of the midget shaped BotW characters.

mario odyssey literally ends with peach rejecting mario and bowser
thats was almost 10 years ago
mario moved on to pauline

>>716439970

it not being canon and fans not having to play a shitty musou was the only good thing about it

Did you think Bowser would let Peach roam about on her own after marrying her.
>Also if it was a romantic song,
It isn't, it's a Sony about Mario saving Peach from Bowser's forced wedding.

>Shake off the chains, you're runnin' free

>>716439970
>AOC is shit because it ventures off into alternate universe bullshit instead of being a prequel to BotW
This actually made it good because the characters actually got to shine and the ending was satisfying. This version of the characters are much better than the canon versions. I would've loved to see Link and Zelda go back in time, but now we are stuck with this retard Zelda who can't put the names Calamity Ganon and GANONdorf together.

Koei doesn’t want to do crossover Musous anymore. Strikers started as a Persona Musou until the Dev team didn’t want to do it because they were given the green light to make it “canon”. There hasn’t been a crossover Musou since FEW 1. They even said after the development of Legends that they felt they exhausted the the ideas they had and added everything they wanted too. The only new Zelda we have had since Legends finished was the BotW games and Echoes

I just ignore 90% of games with female protag at this point

>>716448206
I don't even know what you're talking about, both are just musous but one draws from the entire franchise and the other only from BotW (meh)

Let the butthurt flow through you.

>>716448454
They said that after Legends they finished everything they wanted to do with the festival (crossover) concept and that was part of the reason they moved to FE. Hyrule Warriors by the end of the Legends was everything Koei wanted a Zelda crossover to be and after its release all we got was BoTW. Koei wasn’t even the ones that pitched AoC to Nintendo like they did for FEW and HW, it was Nintendo that approached them to make a new Zelda Musou because they felt like it was complete a complete representation of the franchise until BoTW

You could easily make a better sequel game that refines everything and there even many Zelda stories that the games hint at but that were never told. Hyrule Warriors even still used that outdated level design where every room is a big square and most of the content they added was just more shit to grind

You can do that without having the crossover element which Koei doesn’t want to do and if they did it would still be 90% Breath and Tears because they already added the characters they wanted to add from the previous games and outside of Echoes it has been the only new Zelda they have made since HW.

Okay sure, I don't even know what that element is supposed to be

I don't get this logic. Pirate Warriors 3 still had old characters and maps and covered early arcs. If they wanted to make a Hyrule Warriors that draws from the entire series instead of just BotW or if Nintendo wanted them to do that then they could easily do that with endless potential

Enjoyed the first HW but it definitely felt like it's only scratching the surface. I liked most of the OC stuff but the way it incorporated content from the main games felt lazy and using those ugly leopard print thong Mr. Potato Head SS goblins as the main enemies was the dumbest idea ever.

I dunno what you're talking about, usually I see Link getting it on with some other lady like Malon than I see Zelda with Ganon or something.

They've been completely reworking the series since BoTW and still figuring things out, so they're experimenting with ZeLink to see if it sticks.

PW covers the same story every time which is just one piece. The crossover games tend to have different stories to the point that DQ Heroes 2 dropped several characters because the were not in the story and then they were added in piece meal as free DLC for the multiplayer mode. In fact only 5 characters from DQH 1 made it into 2 because of the storyline.
Pirate Warriors 3 kept all the characters because it was an iterative sequel. If you look at PW 4 characters were cut because the gameplay got a revamp to the point half of the Straw Hats were unplayable until you got to New World because the pre timeskip versions of Nami, Robin, Brook, Chopper and Frankly were cut and because Skypia, Thriller Bark, Punk Hazard and Impel Down were skipped we lost Caesar, Enel, Perona, Moriah and Magellan (Garp also was cut but then became DLC as Young Garp).
A hypothetical HW 2 would have character cuts because the gameplay would shift to accommodate any BoTW additions and new characters would 90% BoTW and maybe Vaati if Koei got over their Capcom hate boner (which is why he and Oracle content weren’t in Legends)

>>716418643 (OP)
I feel bad for peach, getting freindzoned like that.

Peach is the princess, of course she isnt going to be slumming it with a working class plumber. She will be married off for a strategic alliance as is the duty of the monarch.

This was a game purely made for a tax writeoff, right?

>The crossover games tend to have different stories to the point that DQ Heroes 2 dropped several characters because the were not in the story
Then make stories that have them. No one says they should make a direct sequel to Hyrule Warriors. That story was total nonsense and it'd be silly to let it cuck you out of ever making another musou that borrows characters and settings from all the games. Could be as imple anthology thing with self-contained "stories never told" in individual Zelda games or, preferably, just something completely OC but that uses settings and characters from the main games in some form. Really not rocket science, but I guess harder to do than just rehashing BotW

>>716418643 (OP)
I mean if you had a talking hole err relationship you'd put up with this infantile crap too. It's the least offensive thing about listening to women speak

Why the fuck does everyone lack reading comprehension? The statement that Mario and Peach are good friends changes nothing, we already knew that. The games always hinted that Mario was romantically interested in Peach, it doesn't mean they were ever together even after he would get kisses. There will never be a conclusion because the Mario series continues on forever.

Even under your anthology idea Calamity and Imprisonment would be the first games made because they are the most popular game and the their backstory are poorly told and ripe for an expansion to the point that story for Imprisonment is being described as THE events of the Imprisoning War in press releases instead of “a story taking place 100 years before BoTW”

>>716453493
>>716455247
It's easier for Zelda to commit to romance because it's always a different Link and Zelda set in a new era, they can conclude their story with them becoming a couple because they likely won't revisit that Link and Zelda again. But it's not like Mario and Peach are suddenly going to become a couple in one game then remain a couple for every Mario game going forward, Mario never concludes.

>>716458804
>because they are the most popular game
Yeah this isn't a "what would makesense financially" conversation. Obviously rehashing BotW which sold 20k copies on Shitch is the way in that regard

link himself looks gayer than ever before with crazy birthing hips, long hair and giga manletism. blue dress with a back cutout and thigh accentuating drape just makes it more obvious

you are a tone deaf you probably got raped by your dad as a kid and this is how you repress the memory

AoC's ending should've been the secret ending.

>>716425330
Linkle is cute and not at all what you're implying. She's just a dumb anime girl that coincidentally wears green clothing. The OC Warriors characters very likely aren't returning, but she probably has the best chance of any of them.

>>716418643 (OP)

Thats the real affront here, forget the relationship shit. Reminds me of DEI leaks, apparently Peach is now a negative example and instead of standing by it they themselves distance themselves from their roots. Legit pathetic.

I thought they never dated anyways since the beginning. I always thought it was that Mario wants her but she is so much more high status than him and while she never outright rejects him she also doesn't necessarily give him pussy either. At most maybe a thank you kiss on his big fat nose.

They seriously feel the need to have to explain this shit? Don't people understand how fantasy works anymore? Mario has to prove his "worth" on his adventures but he's never going to have babies with her because then that means no more games to sell.

I would interpret it like Cheers where they're obviously together but they can't explicitly tie the knot because it would tank the series' appeal and ratings, which is why they held off until the finale.
Or like MCU Black Widow where she has good chemistry with multiple different male characters and does all the sexy girl stuff with all of them, but they have to make it clear she isn't (currently) with any of them despite that.
