Thread 718001276

Why did Nintendo bother releasing it at all? Why do they keep releasing these obvious internal training projects for money?

Because people will buy them.
They realized that selling them piecemeal at low prices works better than shoving several together for full price.

Without the bonus that's a 42.

who does this appeal to?

>>718003347
ESG investors

>>718001276 (OP)
Needed some shovelware to pad out the library

>>718002878
It harms your reputation long term, they had this debate when they decided whether to cancel the sequel to 1 2 Switch because it tested THAT badly

>>718001276 (OP)
Why not?

>>718003765
The tendie cultists will gladly eat up anything tendo shits out and ask for seconds.

>>718003540
this

>>718001276 (OP)
because people were asking for smaller games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less

>>718003881
Wii u?
Labo?

>>718001276 (OP)
Because tendies are all overweight wheelchair bound retards that identify with this.

>>718004072
>Wii u?
>Labo?
guess you weren’t here when those two dropped

>>718004072
Labo sold more than 99% of all AAA games released in the past 5 years, good enough

>>718001276 (OP)
They need 1 game that uses 2 mice.

Reminder that Nintendo sold 1-2 Switch for $50 and that was a launch game

>>718001276 (OP)
i miss the era where games like this would be viable and even popular. Now everything must be new entries or spinoff of popular franchises, or AAAslop

Tendies will buy it anyway

>>718003765

>>718004072
Don't bother, anon. They love shouting "Tendie cultists will buy anything" even though nobody cares about drag x drive

It's Arms 2.0: a glorified demo for their new gimmick.

>>718001276 (OP)
It's a tech demo for double mouse mode.

>>718003765
I disagree. It's taking a risk, but it's overall not a bad gamble. If you only exploit your safe big projects, you end up stagnating.

>>718004995
Exactly. Both pilotwings were tech demos. Same as shit like excite truck.

>>718003765
Why?
If it was put together earlier, it could go into something like a Wii sports bundle.

Without that, it could still be a nice game to pad your library and experience the gimmick..

>>718004995
All of those games you mentioned were fun. This was a game where the gimmick was imagined first, pure waggleslop brained game design

>Furukawa genuinely thought that Crippleball has higher priority and is a better tech demo for the Joy-Con 2's mouse mode than FUCKING METROID PRIME 4
What is that RETARD doing outside of suing his own fanbase and sucking his own yen-covered micropenis along with his shareholders?

>>718004046
>>718004995
The difference is that those were fun fleshed-out sport games (that were ACTUAL games) with plenty to do, meanwhile this is some paralympic shit where you play crippleball and nothing else because at its core it’s just a tech demo. Yea people want smaller games but that doesn’t mean they’re gonna eat up whatever you shit on their plate just because it fits the category. Bet you’re one of those types that defend demakes because people who want their forgotten series to be recognized should just accept their fav games getting butchered for recognition. Yes people want smaller experimental games and that’s what devs should do, but not like this

>>718003540
how?

>>718004218
>>718004384
they both flopped retarded faggot

>>718005969
Metroid prime 4 isn't ready yet.

>>718005984
This should have been in a bundle with 5 other similar sized games ala wii sports.

>>718006161
They're demoing it next week at Gamescon and the game is still slated for 2025. Where the FUCK is it?

>>718003737
Not all tech demos. Don’t forget that they released DK for $70.

>>718006161
I didn't consider a bundle of games. Surely there's four or five more concepts for the Joycon 2 Mouse they can come up with to make a satisfying package.

>>718007450
I'm sure you'll see it in the next wario ware.

>>718001276 (OP)
because nintendo is based and likes to try/test different styles and things.

>>718003737
>Nintendo noticed that people spend thousand of hours in games like Mario Kart, Splatoon, Smash, etc
>charges just 10 bucks more for them
Nintendo is actually smart and you're poor if you're crying over 10 bucks.
