Have mandateniggers killed themselves? I can't imagine being so consistently wrong about something.

This being merchandised of all things is proof the mandate is alive and kicking harder than ever.

>>720510991
fucking this

Koizumi won.
Miyamoto lost.

wrong, the game has extended pages, not the book

>>720510883 (OP)
>expanded with new pages
Not included in the physical release, by the way.

>>720510883 (OP)
Y'know I sort of miss the time where there were virtually no Nintendo merch or toys available for purchase outside of Japan
Modern Nintendo feels more like they're merch peddlers than video game makers
I don't think they have the passion they used to

>>720511269
I too liked Nintendo games more when I was 10

>>720511269
>I sort of miss the time where there were virtually no Nintendo merch or toys available for purchase outside of Japan
So...before the NES left Japan? Or are we pretending Mario and Zelda didn't have mountains of merch?

>>720510991
What mandate?

>>720511269
i get what you mean. i went to target the other day and found an isle next to gaming that solely deicated to nintendo/pokemon shit. its not to say that merch never existed but theres so fucking much of it now and collaborations etc.

>>720511269
Nintendo was never your friend, you nostalgia-blinded cuck. They always peddled merch. The fucking NES bundled with ROB was sold as a toy just so they could get it in stores.

>>720511704
>its not to say that merch never existed but
No, that's precisely what that retard was saying. And you're fucking delusional if you think Pokemon didn't flood the shelves in the 90s.

>>720511704

lol

>>720510883 (OP)
rosalinachads won

daisyfags lost.

>>720510883 (OP)
I'm getting this. It would be pretty cool

>>720511918
is this what killed poke mania?

>>720511173
>>720511190
What's the fucking point then?

>>720512212
9/11 and Gen 3 unironically did that.

>>720512262
Now it's exactly like the original so you can't complain.

>>720510991
>the mandate
que?

hope they mention her mom more now

>>720511704
You fucking disingenuous cunt. A common complain is that Nintendo barely license shit for merch.

When they do it's usually JP only like fuckton of splatoon and kirby stuff. There is a huge demand for things like figures and related merch.

>>720510883 (OP)
Yo any anon remembers how long the OG book was cause the listing says 112 pages
https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/820094/rosalinas-storybook-by-created-by-nintendo/
The OG book from the game was 50+ max what else are they adding? We getting like OG concept art of Rosalina and Galaxy? That would be a steal for fucking 25 bucks

>>720511269
If you bought Wii-U this would not have occurred.

>>720511405
The late 90s and 2000s saw a period in which Nintendo was very restrictive of merchandising their IPs. This was mostly caused by the 93 Mario movie.

>>720514640

That's not the same as
>where there were virtually no Nintendo merch or toys available for purchase outside of Japan

>>720514151
Someone made their own years ago and it was 107 pages
They probably just added little illustrations and credits

>>720510883 (OP)
>galaxy segment personally presented by miyamoto
He presented it but immediately passed the torch to the other guy, he obviously didn't want to talk in detail about it.

>>720514151
Wait, WTF?! It was that long?!

>>720514894
>Mario movie, which he is head of, is based on Galaxy
what's your excuse for that

>>720514993
That the trailer didn't show anything of Rosalina.

mandateniggers are all faggots and shitposters, I don't know why you continue to give them the time of day

>>720514831
>>720514960
Wait fuck Im retarded anons the way the images are displayed I forgot they are double page spreads
That still leaves 24 pages though that can be filled with shit, although it is possible they can be cheap about it, we'll see

holy shit why is this board so fucking stupid

>>720510883 (OP)
$25 isn't too bad, I'll buy it. I like when books from media get turned into real books

>>720510991
This. It's only marketing for the movie, right on time. Call me when they do a proper Mario RPG for that matter.

>>720510883 (OP)
how many pages will this book cover Rosalina's futa cock and balls?

>>720511492
>>720511580
Naw man, that was different.

>>720511269
Nintendo never had a passion for anything. It all pure delusion. They are just simply going mask off at this point because they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

>>720516127
Gravity Falls was kino. I miss Grunkle Stan

>>720517449
>>720517662
faggots

>>720512212
nah, it was the massive amounts of filler in the Johto anime

>>720510883 (OP)
The mandate receding as Miyamoto moves out of the games into movie/parkslop is even more proof that he was the one behind it from the start.

>>720511269
yeah, they're becoming a brand, with the games themselves being kind of incidental.
I don't mind so much as long as the games are good, but none of this stuff is for me.
I don't care about Mario movies, theme parks, or plastic toys.

>>720516249
brothership?

>>720519246
>they're becoming a brand
I genuinely can't tell if you guys are trolling or not. This is the most revisionist post about Nintendo I've ever read.

>>720511269
>"I don't think they have the passion they used to"
you think? there was a time in which nintendo mostly ignored industry trends for better or worse, now they're trendchasers and make games with no vision which are clearly designed to emulate market trends, like putting crafting in zelda and animal crossing, skill trees in donkey kong, an open world in metroid, raids and seasons in pokemon and whatever the fuck that pokemon minecraft clone was

>>720519701
>which are clearly designed to emulate market trends
You mean like how Nintendo copied Pac-Land? Or how they tried adding online functionality to the GameCube?

>>720519472
read the second part of the sentence, genius.
Nintendo typically has been a video game developer. Now, if anything, the games are starting to take a backseat to expanding the brand. All Miyamoto ever talks about is movies and theme parks. I don't care about any of that. I like games.

>>720510883 (OP)
why would it matter if the mandate is gone or reduced? miyamato still got mad at galaxy 1 having a semblance of a plot, and ripped it out of 2 while holding a gun to everyone's head.

the damage is DONE. we're not getting the original plot ideas for galaxy 2 ever. this alone is plenty of reason to still hate the mandate.

rosalina's also in the switch 2 version of wonder

>>720521381
>Rosalina in Wonder
>Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 rereleasing

>They're releasing her book as an actual thing

we're getting mario galaxy 3

>>720515356
part of me thinks they broke the bank getting the movie done
another part of me thinks they're just a bunch greedy fuckin japs

>>720521508
Was she in galaxy 2? I do not recall

>>720516253
Why is it that 90% of Rosalinafags are also futa fags?

>>720516253
No but really: how does someone actually get a girl like that?

>>720521692
She turned up at the very end of the Grandmaster Galaxy's Perfect Run, and will subsequently move to the Faceship.

>>720512212
It didn't end until Gen 4. It picked back up with Gen 5, then didn't come back until Pokemon Go made people remember the good parts again.

And that's just in terms of "People bitching about Pokemon less than they praise it." If we're talking cultural relevancy and the success of the franchise, it literally never ended, even though the games have been irredeemable dogshit for the last ten years at a minimum

>>720510883 (OP)
Rosalina is such a nothingburger character, almost felt like this was her direct and nothing else, just because the stupid sequel movie will have her in it. Well in that case I’m more excited for Amy and Metal in Sonic Movie 4 than ever before, Yoshi and fucking Blue Peach aren’t gonna carry a movie on their own

>>720511918
Damn that Pokémon themed food looks so good, would unironically feast on all that

>>720513246
Get a load of these prices

>>720515356
Kek you gotta give it to Nintendo for holding back Galaxy 2 until the 40th Anniversary and I guess you could say the Galaxy Movie.

>>720516253
JANNIES CLEAN THIS FUCKING SHIT UP

I don't follow

Slop is going to flop so bigly, nobody likes Rosalina.

I really, really hope they hit the bin like the SF amiibo because holy shit this is just ridiculous.

>>720523181

prices went up because of trump tariffs

>>720520157
This. I was astonished that Miyamoto said the "main event" for Mario's 40th anniversary is a fucking hollywood slop movie. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of one of the most iconic video game franchises with a movie instead of a new video game.

This literally is WiiU and 3DS all over again.

>>720523490
Anon they got a whole new company to handle IP licensing ala TPC.

Shit got way too big for Nintendo itself handle it.

>>720523532
Its a slip cover to protect it during movement you retard, just slide it off

>>720516249
>Call me when they do a proper Mario RPG for that matter.
They did one less than a year ago

>>720511918
I see they emptied the ketchup, think they emptied the waffles and canned pasta too?

>>720510883 (OP)
So who’s going to voice Rosa in the new movie? Awkwafina?

>>720523318
I’m blaming both Nintendo and Trump

Nintendo being cocky over the Switch 1’s success and not being humbled and motivated by a failure let alone Sony and Microsoft

>>720523482
No shit they have the manpower for making games, but it’s no longer their focus anymore. Now it’s movies and theme parks and merch. They’ll still make stuff, but rather than being it’s own thing it’ll be in service of all the other not-vidya shit. It’ll no longer be about fun, but what pushes the brand

>>720528076
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you just suck at getting your point across by only attacking this one new angle youve given:
>no longer about fun
Ken watanabe an indie dev who used to work at nintendo literally said 6 days ago:
>The company culture, or whatever you’d call it, embraces people taking initiative, For example, it’s not unusual for someone to secretly work on something without telling their boss — like, ‘I made this in secret’ — and then it turns out to be interesting, so it gets turned into a real product.

So unless you think something dramatically changed very recently, then Nintendo very much still puts emphasis on fostering creativity.

>>720522482
Those pop tarts sucked ass, but the Mac and cheese was so good. I miss when Kraft Mac and Cheese was good.
