If you think you like Nintendo; you ACTUALLY DONT and here's why...

Seems i have been woke all along.

You've actually stumbled upon a phenomenon that is explained by the infancy hypothesis. Many adults actually do watch baby cartoons because it hearkens back to their childhood.

Again, nothing in the world is absolute. Cocaine addicts are not using cocaine every moment of every day but they always come back to it at some point. Nintendo knows what it's doing.

All those words and not once did you come up with a counterargument to combat my evidence. Then you resort to calling me a troll, which is just insulting.

BoxRekt, my man B-).

yeah...I'll just disagree with this thread

lol why not?

These people were all just regular forum posters once.

They didn't suddenly gain enlightenment when they started working as a mod. Bias, stereotyping, favortism and fanboyism is still alive and well for the mods who orbit this board, they are just less vocal than than us regular posters are in topics.

But I know where you're coming from, it's disappointing to see them just fall right in with the peanut gallery.

On topic: Let me give you my opinion.

I'll say I disagree! :P

Reason being is because my fundamental reason for liking Nintendo has nothing to do with the points you used to say people are found of them in the first place.

For instance, I like Nintendo because of the highly polished and well crafted titles they deliver to their fanbase, but I don't specifically love or desire to play those actual games.

The bright colors and the childhood memory stuff that Nintendo may have affiliated with there games do nothing to stimulate me loving those games over any other lol. I recognize most of their games are well crafted projects but playing them gives me no warm and fuzzy feelings inside. Maybe I'm too woke or dead inside?

For me, I "appreciate" Nintendo for focusing on games to show superiority when Sony and MS often get distracted with trends like like GASS, Clouds, 4k, and services BS. I like Nintendo for reminding the other guys it's all about games in the end.

So my reason for liking Nintendo has nothing to do with their games being bright or childlike, but that's just me.

I’m kind of surprised that this garbage thread is still open.

@boxrekt: Nintendo definitely takes a unique approach so I can see where you're coming from

@Archangel3371: I have feelings, Archangel

@XVision84: You’re a soulless troll and this thread is proof. Facts and science. :P

OP's argument is a non-sequitur.

• Person A: I'm having a good time!
• Person B: You've been brainwashed into having a good time!

These are not mutually exclusive statements. The latter claim does not contradict the former statement in any way. You can both be brainwashed into having a good time, and still be having a good time.

2 Mods already posted here, so it seems it's staying open and I guess it's SW material.

@davillain-: Well typically threads like this tend to get locked and rightfully so.

Oh I agree completely. Oh well, I'm not a Mod, so what do I know right?

@Archangel3371: XVision84 will remember that.

Warning: continuing down this route will stop you from getting the romance ending with XVision84.

@Jag85: The end does not justify the means, my good man. Nintendo is playing us all for fools.

@XVision84: Oh noes! I guess I’ll have to try and survive somehow.

@davillain-: Of course they wouldn't lock my thread. I'm really close with all the mods here. Xantu and I grew up on the same block as kids. I meet up with Horgen and Byshop every week for golf. I'm especially well acquainted with Adobe's mother, who makes pie for us every time our family comes over for Thanksgiving. Such a nice lady.

Connections can get you places, dav ?.

@XVision84: And you just prove Henry's theory too you know.

@davillain-: Henry has a theory?

Yes, Nintendo is brainwashing us all with... colours!

How dare Nintendo give us bright vibrant colours instead of bland, dull greys and browns!

@Jag85: I always knew you'd come around, Jag.

Fantastic thread. You even cited your one resource. Thank you.

The OP can be summarized as follows:

Nintendo designs games that people find appealing.

It really is as simple as that.

Is this like when mathematicians write proofs for 2+2=5?

It's all well and fun, but there's usually a flawed assumption somewhere.

@XVision84: Come to think of it, we could always just turn the brightness and contrast down in Nintendo games... That will sure expose them!

I have a lot of fun with Nintendo games and it isn't hurting anyone.... What's the problem here?

@Jag85: That's...absolutely brilliant. I hadn't thought of that before. If I perform an experiment comparing reactions to the same game with different contrast/brightness and send the results to gaming outlets, Nintendo will be exposed.

No wonder you can't change contrast and have limited control over brightness across Nintendo platforms! They're hiding something big, Jag. I can feel it.

Do you mean Hanlon's razor?

@Pikminmaniac: In short, the problem is you only think you're having fun. This is because Nintendo is psychologically manipulating you with childish visuals and bright colours. Your brain is essentially tricking you into having a good time.

The GS user.

Edit: I was referring to his thread: Bugs reporting & feedback

Maybe we could conduct an experiment, and see the different reactions to different colour/contrast/brightness levels.

Oh, that Henry.

@XVision84: you actually think you like Sony's first party, but you don't, here's why:

Sony uses a lot of smokes and mirrors, focus on dull linear experiences over open worlds, forces you to like narrative games, and pretty graphics

See, I can make BS "scientific" theory too

@davillain-: How did I prove that?

@FireEmblem_Man: The difference is that I refer to 3 concrete pieces of research to back up my point. All conducted by PhD's, might I add.

This is why fanboys fight over graphics.

According to you and your submitted evidence, gameplay is taking a backseat to visuals, ANY visuals.

Of the three companies competing, only two of them make it a point to sell the visual capabilities of their machines and games. And only one is perfectly fine taking a backseat in graphic-fidelity to put more focus on gameplay. There's no need to name them off, we all know who they are.

Thing is, I don't see this as being damaging for anyone. Despite your claims, Nintendo does make games that ARE fun. In fact they make plenty of them. But so do the other two companies. But there ARE people who will also defend very bad games because of graphics or theme. We've seen it many times over the years and we all know that they're out there. And coming here with a claim like this looks exactly like that.

You realize this, right?

that hurt to read. but on a side note i do like that nintendo has been supporting more M rated games like doom and MK on the platform even tho the first part goes for the more family friendly cartoon vibe, i enjoy nintendo games

So... You're saying that Nintendo has a marketing department?

Haha! You spent so much time putting this bullshit together. xD

Thanks though. It was a good read, had a real laugh.

Wow...did you actually think anyone was gonna buy into this crap TC? Please do one for Sega, Microsoft, Sony, and Tiger next. ?

The biggest problem with the argument, if this is for real, is that you made a blanket statement about Nintendo. They're more diverse with their games, their games aren't all one style like say Epic and their space marine thing. So you can't make a singular claim here.

@XVision84: in other words, water is wet and Nintendo has good marketing to sell their hardware and software. Congratulations, you played yourself

Imagine being so fed up by what other people like that you have to write such a huge wall of crap to cope.

Sad but funny.

This is a new level of system wars insanity... Just when I thought we couldn't take it deeper. Well done TC.

They're not known worldwide as Nintendont for nuttin ya know. :P

So then tell me why I bought and played Ratchet and Clank, Tearaway and LBP on my PS4 and Super Luckys Tale and Recore on my Xbone

I'm fine with saying both sides are correct. Nintendo appeals to my brain with nostalgia and colors, but they also have excellent game designers and composers. They've made some really great stuff.

It's foolish to say Nintendo would be just as loved without nostalgia.

But it's also super foolish to say their stuff isn't quality and it's only nostalgia.

I'm not reading all of that, and what I did read I feel is bull......HOWEVER

I feel like the zelda series gets a pass on quality.

Twilight Princess and Skyward sword are very AVERAGE games and all the 8 plus scores these games got were just because they were Zelda games. If you take the Zelda name and characters from these games and replace them at best these games would get 7's.
