has nintenduh gone down hill?
new games and consoles are super expensive, the new DK game is mid and very repetitive, mario kart is no better, zelder botw is the same game again, it should have been one, not two, not three and my god not four. MP4 is divided with the fans, good, bad and mid reviews. the amiibos are a scam with locked content, only one new suit in prime 4

Yes, next question.

Nintendo got way too greedy. I had loved them since my childhood but Nintendo USA headquarters made some decisions I hated several years back-and after the Palworld lawsuit and all the BS surrounding the Switch 2 launch….I’m no longer a fan, sadly.

Much like Disney, they thought they could keep jacking up prices forever while largely resting on their laurels and no longer innovating and the people would still gobble up whatever they put out.

I think both companies have been (and will continue to be) proven wrong about that in the long term.

I would give teeth for A Link to the Past on Steam.

My only 10/10 game by real measure. There is NOTHING wrong with that game.

Switch was best thing bought $300, comes with dock, tons of games, can get lots of $5-10 on sales if you do digital

Locking a soundtrack in an area behind an amiibo purchase for MP4 is really weird.

Yes but to be fair every company has gone downhill in the past decade.

Nintendo died when the Wii-U and DS stores died.

Everything being expensive and low quality is the new normal. Nothing special regarding Nintendo. Just the times we all live in.

Not really. They kinda just got to the top of a moderately sized hill and then stopped progressing.
Their only moves now are petty attempts to drag everybody else back down to their level.

im not paying for online i just cant

NEVER! MARIO MARIO MARIO!!!

Yes. Like others have said, everything is more expensive now while being lower quality.

I'd like to add, however, that the original Switch was still a product born when Iwata, an engineer and game dev, was president. He still had heavy influence over the product and pricing even after he was gone.

They replaced him with a suit -- just another business man who sees numbers and not games. We are seeing the new generation of Nintendo under the leadership of a man who only cares about making line go up. Nintendo is going to be in for a rude awakening in a few years when their business hits a wall.

They said that about Switch 1 though. All wrong. Timecapsules are interesting to read though.

The OT necromancer is a wonderful person, I can read braindead Switch 2 takes 5 years from now.

breath of the wild syndrome is real, unfortunately. many large nintendo games since have attempted to replicate the open world "freedom" aspects of it. odyssey, bananza, TOTK, now metroid prime 4.

i know they are just doing what is successful for them, and the games i listed ARE good but...

i am ready for something new!

I don't keep up with Nintendo other than hearing that people are freaking out about Metroid Prime 4. Why is the sky falling for them now? I assumed the Switch 2 was a success.
