>>717809181And Miyamoto isn't at fault at all nigger.
He was LITERALLY relying FAN FEED BACK to the dev team.
I know its been some 10+ years...15 maybe...but back then Nintendo included small pamphlets for EVERY game they released with a code and link to an online survey about the game consumers were suggested to fill out upon beating the game (or giving up on it for one reason or another)
The biggest complaints in Super were
1. Shit awful characters that don't fit the Mario universe, due to being weird digiblock pixel things.
2. awful try hard convoluted story.
3. weak rog mechanics.
Now explain why TANABE chose to ONLY USE TOADS. Being told to limit it to confirmed mushroom kingdom npcs gives you
>toads. friendly/nonhostile enemies. yoshis. pengiuns. nokis. pinatas. woodles. the gearhead maids in galaxy. ukis. ralph the raven/ravens. etc.The ONLY one at fault is tanabe, especially as other spin offs used these for years to some degree.
Then we can get into tanabe's own statements on hating rpg mechanics thus looking for any excuse to nuke them out.
same for ripping any intrigue out of the plot by and large.
Stop blaming a man who had virtually no say or involvement in these games.
