You may as well make this a Nintendo exclusive thread. They have an autistic obsession with making their games ALL ABOUT something that's actually somewhat minor.

Mario 3D World was a console Mario with consistent inventiveness in every level having its own internal mechanic but fuck that IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CAT BELL BABYYYYY EVEN THE FINAL BOSS USES THE TWO NEW POWER UPS THAT COULD HAVE APPEARED IN LITERALLY ANY MARIO GAME

I wouldn't have even minded if there had been a choice to turn it off and not have to use it in games that didn't absolutely require it.
I ended up just letting the battery run out, only plugging it in when I needed to fiddle with the console settings and then unplugging it as soon as I was done and letting it die again. It did horrible things to the battery and it can't hold a charge anymore, but fuck it, I don't use it anyway.

This answer makes no sense. Motion controls were used extensively, you were always flying around even though the sky was pretty empty and it delivered an origin story as advertised. If I can think of one aspect they advertised which ended up being underused/barely present, it would be the supposed romance between Link and Zelda they even titled a trailer after. They were mostly just childhood friends and the ending gave it no real closure.

You mean non-lethal? Those were still silent kills, I think. Anyway, I fucking hated how non-lethal takedowns equated to them just being dead anyway. I remember putting that bar tender out and their body just stayed their for the entirety of the rest of the mission and no one in there cared for hours and hours while I went to do other shit. Sleeping forever is such a shit mechanic, there should be more risks so it's more of a challenge not to kill, like MGS2 and MGS3.

Cat powerup is a memorable face for the game and is ideal for 90% of the levels if you can hang on to it. Just like the raccoon suit back in the day. Don't see why it should be in this thread.

I love how it's true, but some owners got overly defensive attempting to justify their purchase by going "BUT THIS ONE GAME."

>>376534307

There's a big knock-on effect that Nintendo didn't think about, though

Not having a big figurehead Mario platformer like a Galaxy or Sunshine took away a lot from the Wii U in the eyes of a more 'core' gamer. Even if you're not gonna play that game, it still makes the system look like its library is up to the Nintendo standards of quality.

I remember the reveal of 3D world being when I decided I wasn't going to drop money on one. I ended up playing it later and thought it was fun, but I really wanted something like Oddyssey.

>>376525998
Sad thing is that they weren't always like that. SMB3 wasn't completely about the raccoon leaf and yet 3D Land had it all over the fucking place like the cat bell in 3D World.

It would've been the better choice for Nintendo because it would make piracy more difficult, too.
Which is why I'm kinda happy they didn't.

Thinking about it, I wonder if all these Nintendo gimmicks like portability, screens on controllers, and motion controls are ways to hinder piracy, because their systems always have the best emulators.

>>376534860
It's fucking legendary how much the Wii U game pad went out of its way to be exactly what I didn't want at all. It's useless or gimmicky in every game, then Zelda comes along with all its menus and shit and it turns out to just be a blank screen with the Zelda logo. EXCEPT for those few shrines with gyro controls, now you gotta plug the fucker into the wall because you gave up even bothering to charge it just to do a stupid puzzle. The first thing so many people thought when they saw this game pad was "Holy fucking shit, Metroid with the map at you fingertips!" and they don't even fucking make a Metroid. I love so many games on the Wii U, but I really just want to smash the game pad for being such an incredible failure.

It worked great for Mario Maker, admittedly. I tried a Splatoon testfire and it was good, but everything that the game pad does could have just been done with Wii Motion+ or something anyway, the teleport thing on the game pad could have easily been done with a simple menu. It's good that every Switch controller has gyro aiming now because that was certainly the highlight of the game pad.

I don't even remember seeing an enemy wake up an unconscious one in Human Revolution. Really, the takedowns should have either been lethal-only (because there's no way a normal person can survive taking a full-on punch from a man who can lift vending machines) or required a long "choke-out" animation to be silent and non-lethal like in Hitman. It was too unbalanced.

Notice how I said "game mechanics". You can become a painting, so what? It's not the reason why people but Zelda games. People buy Zelda game because of the adventure and the fun world, not because they can go into paintings. It's useless to advertise something so minor that nobody cares about. Same thing with a lot of Nintendo games, but they went in the right direction with Zelda BotW marketing.

Wasn't her inclusion part of that era of "online pass" things that you could only get by buying a new copy? That's probably the reason she was advertised so much- to guilt you into thinking you weren't getting the "real" game without her.

It wasn't a "3D" mario game, even Nintendo is aware of that, and BotW is a Switch seller, like TP the oldest console is not its main console.

Absolutely not. Even at their hardest, Sunshine and 64 never even approached SMB2 (JP), SMB2 (US), SMB3, World, or harder levels in NSMBU or 3D World.

I think he meant harder for the average person to get into. 3D Mario has never sold as well as 2D and Shiggy has said it's mostly because full 3D controls intimidate most people.

The DS touchscreen, and to a lesser extent the same on 3DS. Using the touch controls partially obstructs the screen, and the hand using the touch controls isn't simultaneously using the normal controls; not a lot of thought was ever put into how to make the touch interface replace a dpad+L or ABXY+Start+Select+R.


>>376527148
The 3D wasn't even that awful of a concept, it's just that the angle it actually works at is so acute that it mostly didn't work right or ghosted like shit even in ideal circumstances (to say nothing of all the games that didn't even bother to try to use it correctly but still opted to include it rather than not bother at all like later releases) and holy fuck that 240p eyecancer screen basically wasted the whole idea.

New Pokemon features always piss me the fuck off. Especially Mega Evolution.

Was it a good idea? Hell yeah. Did they give every Pokemon a Mega? No. They even gave some two like fucking Charizard and Mewtwo. WHY THE FUCK DOES A LEGENDARY NEED TWO(2) MEGAS??

I could understand if they didn't have enough development time to give every mon one at release, but they could just release 50 new Megas as free DLC every two months or so.

I don't even want to get into talking about the Pokewalker, Poketch, or Pokemon exclusive Z-moves.

Also, who ok'd releasing Sun and Moon on the 3DS? Fucking why? They knew, they fucking KNEW the Switch was coming out soon. Why not just release it on the Switch a s a launch title? Or at least have a port for it. And why, dear Lord up above, does Pokemon Go not let you send caught mons to Pokemon Bank or ANY kind of interactivity with mainline games????

The scene where she gets captured by Two-Face, her fight with Poison Ivy (whose not even the game without the DLC), her infiltrating Hugo Strange's vault then saving Batman, and the post-credits scene are all Catwoman DLC.

Also, even if you don't have the DLC, Catwoman trophies are still sitting around.

>>376543885
At least most Z moves are usable by everyone and the handful of Pokémon-exclusive ones are tied to specific moves (often times double-edged ones, too) making your movement more predictable. Like, if you're running Eevee, everyone knows what Z-move you're gonna use and can plan accordingly.

>>376544171
>her fight with Poison Ivy (whose not even the game without the DLC)

I'm finding all this to be quite fishy, tbqh familia

>Also, even if you don't have the DLC, Catwoman trophies are still sitting around.

I don't give a single fuck about trophies. I'm not against them only because they let us verify cool statistics (like, if 90% of people didn't get an early, mandatory, piss-easy achievement, it means 10% of the owners of a game didn't even touch it)

Backtracking was what you were supposed to do in dungeons to figure out what to do next since you get lost at times because rooms you couldn't enter before and now you can because you got a key or certain item now that you can enter the room and continue on.

it would've been better with better hardware. i like playing games in 3D, but i don't like playing them on a tiny 240p screen with no AA or AF and piss poor framerate in most games

it's clear at this point that a lack of new sonic 3 ports is likely licensing related, although maybe the 3DS releases could've circumvented that since they're still emulators

They wasted a golden opportunity by not making a Wii sequel, especially in the wake of CoD shooters everywhere.

i played the game because i thought the combat looked fun and i didn't give a shit about the memory remixes. i don't know why journos were so focused on an element of the game that was obviously just going to show up a few times in the story.

The 3D is actually really fucking great in Monster Hunter. It adds a lot of clarity the 240p resolution would otherwise leave out, and it was especially nice in 3U since it helped me stay oriented underwater.

>>376535257
Consoles(?) the 3ds come out before or after the wiiu?

There was an Iwata Ask about Galaxy 2 and one of the developers mentioned this. In Galaxy 1 their family kept getting lost and confused which is why they made 2 even more linear. I didn't think it was that big a deal, but if give certain people a 3D environment and tell them to have at it, they shut down.

The C-nub on the new 3DS. Literally only used in Smash, Isaac, and Xenoblade; even then, it's awkward and unweildy as hell.

Actually What is the point of self destruction in Automata?

Doesn't do a lot of damage to machines.

Pretty much everything used to advertise Sun/Moon.

What's up with the crossed out ones?

look at yoshi. don't you just want to sit on his back haha

>solaleo/lunala
Nebby was involved from the very start of the game, it's the most integrated into the game I think a legendary has ever been.
>team skull
how were they not a big part of the game? you even raid their hideout. as involved as any other evil team.

>finally get a replacement 3ds when they were 100 bucks
>2ds comes out now and its the same as new 3ds

Why couldn't they sell the new 2ds years ago?

>>376554324
i wish so too. the 2ds is pretty uncomfortable if you need to use the shoulder buttons. the "blocky" or "bigness" of it doesnt bother me, but damn, the clamshell design is so much better. i think they made the orignial 2ds as one unit to combat the broken hinge problem.

>>376554072
>Nebby
The moment Nebby becomes Solaleo/Lunala, they're totally irrelevant beyond making the portal.
>Team Skull
They're just a mild nuisance through some of the game. They're essentially just a red herring to the obvious Aether twist. You go to their hideout, but you just walk in, beat Guzma, and leave. You don't really stop anything; hell, the town never even gets restored, it's just fucked forever. You just beat Guzma and some grunts and Plumeria and that's the total extent to which Team Skull effect the game.

SMT Nocturne had Dante as a bonus fight/party member. The PAL version had that sticker on the box to get people to play it

I was going to post the same fucking thing.

>you only play as him for 10% of the game while he is a NPC for the rest of the game and you are stuck with a shitty MC.

That's a tiger you dumb ass. It's also in captivity, so it being obese isn't surprising.
