>Pokemon Legends ZA is tracking to sell more Switch 2 units in mere days than Donkey Kong Bananza could over the span of three months
>Mind you, the game is not a Switch 2 exclusive and is on Switch 1
>People are buying the Switch 2 simply because they want to play Gamefreak's latest cafeteria slop at a not-terrible framerate
Never underestimate the power of the Pokemon Adults. A force for Nintendo only rivaled in power by Smash babies and their endless cycle of rosterfaggotry.

This is Pokémon fans in a nutshell

>>723534220
Wasn't that from a Sony presentation fir Playstation

Pokemon adults have the lowest standards of any gaming fandom. TPC could shit in their mouths and piss in their only to be met with thunderous applause and an endless wave of excuses about “muh small studio” and “muh tight deadlines.”

Knowing that they’re actively trying to mimic Xenoblade now is fucking hilarious. If the next game actually does make an attempt to match X’s scale (as shown in the recent leaks), the comedy will be off the charts.

>>723534323
Yeah.

Never let snoys make you feel bad for winning.

I'm hooked on Z-A, dropped Bananza at ice world. Shit's just boring.

>>723534383
I've posted it like a billion times but it's a management issue, Gamefreak should have about 2-3 support studios that handle repeatable tasks and reusable content, they would actually end up being able to create significantly more content in a significantly shorter time, games would probably triple in development costs but they would also end up with games that look and run better with fewer bugs.

>>723534749
You missed out on the best worlds, although I really don't care for the hotel world which is the opposite world to the ice world and I really didn't care for the world before the split world.

Pokemon ZA, as fuckugly and lazy as it might be, didn't drastically alter the appearance of a beloved, established character and make him look like a homosexual retard. And it didn't take a series that had some of the best platforming every and replace it with brainless open world SMASH DA THING retardation.

>>723534323
yep lol

>>723534140 (OP)
monster tamers are a genre everybody loves but barely anybody makes games for
and even out of the ones that do exist, shit like digimon actively ruins the feeling of going on an adventure with your monster bros by constantly ripping them away from you and making you raise them again because they're hopelessly addicted to the stupid digi-egg idea
what the fuck else am i supposed to play as a monster tamer fag? i've already played shit like casette beasts and monster sanctuary to death

>>723534859
>management problem
Sure, and Nintendo offered to connect them to companies like Squeenix/Bamco (another thing from the leaks) and Game Freak outright refused. They seem to want to handle it entirely on their own.

It’s a matter of pride at that point.

>>723535298
>It’s a matter of pride at that point.
LMAO
No.
It's a matter of fear.
Gamefreak knows they are dead without pokemon.
So they need as much control as possible no matter what it means for the end product.

>>723535590
Good point.

I hope one day we can see the Pokemon IP taken from them in some capacity, even if it’s just for a one-off entry. The only thing that would make Pokefags realize the state of their own series is a direct showcase of the quality differential within the only series they ever seem to play.

>>723534140 (OP)
ZA is bundled with the switch 2, that's why. Bananza did well.

>>723534220
FPBP

>>723535590
Fun fact, Gamefreak made that Mario & Wario game that uses the SNES Mouse

>>723534383
>Pokemon adults have the lowest standards of any gaming fandom
not really, somehow palworld fans actively gaslight themselves into believing that turd of a game is good, it's funny to see the steam charts get a small spike every time there is another lawsuit update, they are basically seethe playing, which is even more pathetic than just playing for fun. But I guess this is 2025 and the world is full of angry people.

>>723534140 (OP)
All the money Nintendo is making from this goes into creating more frivolous patents and lawsuits intended to stop other developers from making video games. Cultists pay Nintendo to make vidya worse for everyone.

>>723536395
Based

>>723534383
p. sure its just a mockup for the final boss of ZA
cool how people constantly bring up X as an example of what they want nintendo games to look/perform like but also won't actually buy it

>>723534140 (OP)
They’re both shit games. The only reasons anyone cares about Bananza is because of loli Pauline and the kremling memberberries in the postgame.

>>723536329
Palworld is popular because it included features that people have wanted out of Pokemon for years.

>>723536395
>Nintendo using tendie money to kill early access slops
And this is bad thing because...?

Oh now /v/ likes Bananza?

>>723534140 (OP)
I love Donkey Kong, but it's a C-tier series at best. Not even Nintendo knows what to do with it, and now they've got the classic problem of offering too many styles of games so no matter how they move forward, someone is going to be disappointed.

megas dont replace the original. you can opt out of megaevolving your mon in any game feralgator appears in. you cant say the same of donkey kong forma de miyamoto

>>723535114
Palworld, Persona/SMT

>>723538202
Ah yes, survival crafting. Just what everyone wants in a pokemon game

Donkey Kong simply isn't Mario. He doesn't get the pull of Mario. Genuinely I don't think most people besides Nintendo fans give a fuck about Bananza.

>>723538502
It’s a complicated relationship
>>723535773
>Bananza did well
The free demo nearly two months after release says otherwise, not normal for Nintendo to do something like that
The game is failing to meet their expectations and if I’m proven wrong down the line I’m eating my pants
