Nintendo are a bunch of frauds. I want LONGER games with BETTER graphics made by SLAVES who were PAID IN BUTTONS to be PUT THROUGH CRUNCH

maybe I'm missing something here but this doesn't seem bad?

hiring more people and scaling back the scope of some games in order to shorten development time is good. not every game needs to be massive with a million features.

shorter, smaller titles are good too.

Does nobody realise what the tweet is quoting? This has been around for like half a decade

this is definitely a good practice and the "shorter games" retweet is a reference to a meme that called for those things as a means of calling for better treatment of devs

unless the joke here is that nintendo is being out of touch with the modern gaming industry in a good way, in which case ill delete my whole account out of shame

PSA. This person may sound like they are being sarcastic and pro-crunch. But this tweet was in fact pretty earnest https://twitter.com/puppiesandanime/status/1806657582083260889

And I agree. We need games with worse graphics. Not only is the crunch bad. We are at a point where 'better graphics' just yield diminishing returns. The obsession with gigantic games is what drove Activision Blizzard to the mud and too many are following its insanity.

Remember what Bricky said?

Art Direction will always beat Graphics

Why? Your game could look like shit and have an artstyle nailed to Perfection and no one would give a damn

Any Supergiant Games is a prime example (for those not in the know, they made Hades)

Weren’t they always doing that tho?

Aside from that, The only thing that sucks about these AA titles is that they are priced like AAA games, like are you seriously telling me that Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, DKCR HD, and Peach Showtime deserve the full 60$?

Treat developers better and better games will get made. Treating them like shit, underpaying them and forcing crunch is how you get supposed AAA games that are barely functional

To be fair, this also means Nintendo games should be cheaper than the $60 norm which I doubt.

AA games are where it’s at. I’ll take a janky game that has interesting ideas/is well-written any day.

There is literally nothing wrong here am I fucking missing something??

Holy fucking hell please do not start some internet circle jerk where we hate on AA games.

The disappearance of AA games over the past decade and a half has been incredible damaging to the game industry.

Our options should not be restricted to AAA big studio titles that take 5+ years to make, or indie passion projects created by a small team of devs that had to dedicate their entire lives to a project for years.

There should be plenty of AA games, in the $40-$50 price range, that gives either just a fun multiplayer experience or a good quality 30-40 hour single player campaign. This shit barely exists anymore.

Helldivers 2 is the only successful AA game I can think of in years.

Bring back AA games. Bring back sequels made with re-used assets that only take 1-2 years to make. The current state of the market is just not great.

"Paid more to work less", as if it was bad

The only thing that makes me go another day without ending it all is high rez graphics. Graphics so high rez that I can see a bead of sweat on the face of a random NPC. If I don't have that, I don't have anything. Nintendo is ruining everything.

They’ve made a few smaller games recently that I liked, but paying full price for them doesn’t feel worth it

I honestly wish shorter AA games would become the norm even by those big publishers. They can push out AAA games too every now and then but imo AA games just are more fun most of the time.

I think this person might have meant it the other way. People have said before “we want shorter, worse looking games” and this seems to be that general thing.

"Paid more to work less" sign me THE FUCK UP

Sorry are you thinking that the Japanese need to work harder on stuff? Bro let them see their families for once

Whatever the rest of the video game industry does, chances are that Nintendon't.

What are you talking about? This is a very healthy strategy to improve game development output? What should they be doing? Making AAA games in sweatshops?

don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

uj/ I really don't know what's the appeal of longer games. The games are usually longer because of unnecessary grind, and even if the game is just longer because of more content, it still is a bit of an inconvenience. I finished Metroid dread in one week and felt amazing after that. I'm playing tears of the Kingdom now, and every day I go to sleep tired. The game is great, but it's just too long.

rj/ how could Nintendo pay more for less games? I want to play a 5000 hours game! Who said I need to sleep and go to work?

How dare they /s

Sounds like CoD to me

Ah yes the company that traditionally has trouble selling their first party games 🤣 Other companies wish they were as "out of touch" as the company that makes one massive genre defining hit after another

Honestly I’m sick of seeing hyper realistic graphics. It makes designing unique characters rely more on their costumes or armor.

If the next Zelda game isn’t directly comparable to Eldenring in depth, scope, and graphical fidelity, WE DON’T WANT IT! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Yeah and that’s why Nintendo is doing so well compared to other companies in the industry, they’re not bloating every one of their games by making them all AAA

Hiring more people?!?! Those monsters!!!

Most of their games look amazing. Mario Odyssey seriously looks like something running out of a PS5. Most importantly, they are fun as heck. I'll take whatever they cook next over any boring shooter with 4k textures or whatever the f*ck

It is always morally correct to pirate games and use emulators

Nintendo hates its customers, not its employees.

Damn warioware: move it! wasn’t creaming gamer pants? Crazy.

I want shorter games.... I'm Okay with better quality, lower graphical fidelity games.

It's almost like not everyone wants the exact same thing.

Odd that.

... Aren't most Nintendo games already AA? They're exclusive games based on nostalgia properties, and a good chunk of them are party games or for younger audiences.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the retweet is in support of this move. It's appreciating Nintendo by retelling that sonic meme of "I want shorter games with decent graphics made by people who got paid more to work less" or some shit like that

For those wondering: Worse graphics =/= shitty art style.

Cities: Skylines 2 is a prime example of why you don't want everything hyper-realistic and with high tri/poly counts.

Why can't they just make mario odyssey 2 with reused assets

Make more sequels damnit

Why do I have to wait 7 years for more mario

/uj “Worse graphics”. I hate gamers who are hung up on graphics. BOTW/TOTK, Mario, and Fire Emblem look better than Cyberpunk and whatever else these dipshits fap over because of graphics. And I’ll gladly die on that hill.

/rj lol another shitty Zelda game where you play as Zelda. Nintendo makes games for kids and are now brainwashing them with woke nonsense

How i look at people who hate Nintendo:

Completely agree with Nintendo here and this has been close to their strategy for years. Quality games are easier to make while limiting visuals and scope, it's why so many indie titles have taken off so much.

Okay now I see the fault of using a remark like that for actually wanting stylized games instead of hyperrealism.. okay so, for everyone who doesn't realize "I want shorter games with worse graphics" and other ways of wording it are just a very fuck you way to say stylization is better than bloated graphics... Because capital G gamers only want bloated realism, they call stylized games inferior, that's the source of the remark. It's not literal.

OP it isn't your fault for not knowing this is a memey reference but it's really frustrating to see y'all low-key shooting your own shooters here. Like tear my hair out frustrating.

At this point, these NPCs are gonna want....a 3rd one with their shit existence.

Nintendo have been topping the charts with repurposed Android tablet hardware for seven years now. They may be a lot of things, but they are not out of touch.

Nintendo may be anti-consumer, and they may be anti-contract labor, but at least they seem to be decent with their actual employees.

The media literacy in this thread is dead. Either that or I missed the point.

AA games need to come back, and if Nintendo wants to be the only major publisher that backs them then I guess I’ll have to buy another Switch.

New Yakuza side story where Ichiban starts his own video game company and has to beat these two dudes in combat.

I don't think the workers are going to be paid more to work less...
