>muh Zelda is getting milked wahhhh
Since when has /v/ forgotten that Zelda is Nintendo's #2 biggest IP (if not counting Pokemon since its Game Freak's)? Surprised they didn't do it sooner, Zelda is a normie-tier franchise and if you delude yourself into thinking it's for intellectual gamers like you faggots, you are sorely mistaken.

>>376985106
Do you actually consider using ellipses "normal"??? You are literally just typing three consecutive dots to express an abstract emotion, which can either be identified as sarcastic or genuinely autistic. You aren't going to give your English professor an essay with ellipses and the end of your sentence because its a waste of space and is generally just cringey to read.
Fuck off, no normal human being writes ellipses at the end of their sentences, only edgelords and autists do. Know the difference, """"normie""""

Fuck off Reddit

It's going to be trash, but in terms of advertising Zelda, which is their intention, I suppose it could be a good idea.

>>376985912
how is that a good idea.

that's like saying putting shulk in smash bros was suppose to advertise xenoblade when he was a literally who from a literally who game in terms of sales and wouldn't have ever been considered if nintendo hadn't purchased monolith soft.

seems like any which way you shit it, it'll be advertising a better game that doesn't actually exist.

no this ain't advertisement, it's shit. cause nintendo is shit.

>>376986243
This has to be the dumbest logic I have ever seen in my life. Zelda is popular as fuck, why not exploit the popularity that BOTW generated and make a simple, accessible game for dumb normies to enjoy on the most popular device in the market (the smart phone if you were too stupid to figure out) and generate even more buzz and sales when the next Zelda releases. You cannot be this dense. If Pokemon GO can boost the sales of S/M exponentially, so can this new Zelda mobile game if it's good or just passable.

>>376986467
>the popularity that BOTW generated
things that never happened.

has barely sold better than ALBW, still worse than MM3D.

>>376986243
You're legitimately retarded.

>>376986525
BOTW is literally the only reason why the Switch had a more successful launch than the Wii U and is still going strong. If the fact that Aonuma asserted that they'll stick to the formula created by BOTW wasn't a good indicator that the game was a success, I dunno what'll get into your thick skull.

>>376986681
that's like saying the switch selling well in its first month was an indicator of success when the Wii U did too.

Aonuma saying that killed it for me. Here I was hoping they'd never fuck up this bad again but nah, not only are they pretending it was intentional, they're saying they're gonna keep doing it? Used to be one of my favorite franchises.

I already got all the best zelda games emulated on my phone. Don't really need Nintendo to try to fuck it up even more.

>>376984857
Why doesn't anyone post the pastebin anymore?

>>376984748
True zelda fans know that this series died after majora's mask.

If you were alive at that time you would've known how much backlash there was when we went from the dark tones of the N64 titles to cel-shaded gamecube kiddy shit in Wind Wanker.

The series hasn't recovered ever since.

>>376986525
>has barely sold better than ALBW, still worse than MM3D.
>+60M user base vs. 3M user base

Gee, what an intellectual comparison anon. The mere fact that it's closing in or surpassing those games are impressive.

>>376987085
OoT3D was a launch 3DS game and it's not like that did excessively well, still half as many sales as OoT proper, but twice as many sales as ALBW/MM3D.

The point was nintendo has been forcefully shitting out constipated dumps and calling them zelda for a while now, and botw wasn't any different.

I'm not here debating whether or not the Zelda series has gone to shit or not because I really don't care about your sob story, I'm telling you that you are fucking retarded for deluding yourself into thinking a mobile Zelda game would be shit advertising, which frankly is not true at all. The fact that pokemon GO is still relevant to normies right now disproves this. I don't expect the new Zelda mobile game to generate that absurd amount of buzz, but it can definitely be used as a marketing tactic to get dumb normies interested in the series and buy more of their games.

But sorry, Nintendos gone to shit and my personal vendetta against a triple A corporation prevents me from facing facts and makes me feel justified that I'm in the right because muh emotions.

>>376987308
OoT 3D wasn't a launch title for the 3DS.

Only reason I know this is because I remember bringing my launch 3DS home and having no FUCKING GAMES to play.

Sun and Moon sold well by their own right, because the series had finally evolved a little - and only sold well initially, once people started realizing it really hadn't evolved all too much.

Pretty retarded to think Go had anything to do with more than a couple ten thousand purchases of SM.

>>376987547
you're right i forgot the 3DS sucked cock when it launched. It was too expensive among other things, kinda like the Switch.

the only thing theyre raping is nintendo fans, literally no games on their flagship console and they keep wanting to make mobile phone trash and amiibo garbage. pathetic.

I have to admit that unironically enjoy Fire Emblem Heroes as ashamed as I may be admit that.

But I kind of hope that this game just ends up being cool for a couple of days and then stays largely forgettable just like Mario Run.
I am playing too many games with dailies and crap. It's taking up too much of my time.

>>376987856
>Pretty retarded to think Go had anything to do with more than a couple ten thousand purchases of SM.
That guy was spot on calling you a delusional retard with a vendetta.

>>376984748
B-BUT THE YAKUZA BOSS IS BASED

Mario Run: No one cares. It's another shovelware to the list
Pokemon Go: no one will buy Pokemon Go 2

Nintendo is destroying themselves.

>>376984748

It'll be that My Nintendo exclusive Zelda Picross 3DS title, which was actually quite fun to play.

Just like they released Pokemon Shuffle on 3DS and mobile.

You know I'm right, Anons.

You don't seem to understand how evidence works, there hasn't even been a new Mario game since Super Mario Run came out. You know low quality, outsourced, cheap crap for advertising is nothing new in the slightest?

>>376989505
There was none, because there wasn't any Mario game to advertise for. I consider it a bad example of advertising a franchise because of the stupid 10 dollar blockade shit, so a lot LOT less people bought the game than they downloaded for free, so it was a flop even to Nintendo.

>>376989505
I was more referring to how retarded you sound when you go off about "A HURR! 'TENDER SHORE IS DUMM, RITE MAW?" than anything.

I don't know if their smartphone developments are a viable marketing ploy, and I honestly don't care. However, literally decrying and entire company based on your personal disinterest, but expressing your opinion as objective fact makes you look obnoxious and not worth listening to.

>>376987856

>people interested in A will definitely be interested in B!
pokemon go was popular because it was the original 150 that meming hipster numales remembered - that was an actual reason it was largely popular. Even if it wasn't though, you still have the disconnect that Go and SM are two completely seperate games without any overlap of design or functionality, on two different platforms to boot.

seriously you are mentally molested.

>>376989505
>>376986243
THE MOBILE GAMES ARE MADE TO RAISE AWARENESS OF NINTENDO FRANCHISES AMONG PEOPLE WHO DON'T PLAY VIDEOGAMES ON CONSOLES
THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THEIR PARTNERSHIP WITH DENA

>>376987067
Majora's Mask > Wind Waker. But Wind Waker was still amazing. Might even be the second best after Majora's Mask.

Disregarding Breath of the Wild at the very least.

>>376990190
You are indeed an absolute retard with no evidence or argument.

>>376990190
>because it was the og 150
>not because it was a device that every normie had access to
>not because "POKEMON" was the name of the game
>not because it was fucking free + microtransactions
>"only numale hipsters played this trash, that's why it was so popular"

Jesus christ, how can anybody be this fucking jaded and mentally retarded?

>>376986243
Holy shit, you sound like such a silly salty litttle child with an unhinged, irrational hatred towards Nintendo.

occams razor, cocksucker. My view posits a lot fewer dependencies than yours.

You say Go was popular because it was simply named "Pokemon", still hanging onto the 90's when the title alone actually did have popularity. A lot has changed in 20 years, and pokemon games weren't one of them - so they dropped off in popularity as Nintendo kept shitting out the same game time after time - Sun and Moon being the first decent attempt at a proper 3D game with different mechanics than any pokemon title prior. You posit SM was popular because of Go, and you posit Go was popular because it was Pokemon - but if that were true, why is SM uniquely more popular than other recent Pokemon titles if "pokemon" itself was popular? There should have never been a disconnect in need of a "Go" to increase interest if "Pokemon" was already as popular as you claim.

leave it to a nintenigger to have a vacant attempt at psuedo intelligence. Nintendo is dying, friend.

>>376984748
Dunno how you could think that after the CDi games.

>>376986919

Normies remember Pokemon from when they were young, play the phone app, hear about a new game in the series and buy it. This is the point of the outsourced apps, advertising for superior products by the company themselves.

1. that's false equivalence.

2. pokemon sales dropped back to normal not even 2 months after Go, with SM not being released til November - virtually having lost all interest generated by Go alone.

>>376991507
Did you expect people to keep buying the same games on a monthly basis? Do you even hear the garbage that comes out of your mouth?

>>376991507
Woah, when you remove the information that doesn't support your argument you win? Why did nobody tell me it was this easy? Somebody tell Nintendo their data is shit, some faggot on /v/ has it all figured out, MHGen was truly a system seller in the US/EU.

Just like they've been dying since the Gamecube, friend. Y'all keep saying it over and over, yet it never comes true. How DOES that feel?

>>376992396
Gamecube was solid, they've been dying since the Wii put them in a bubble though.
Bubble popped, Wii U was a rude awakening, Switch is fast on it's way to becoming the next Wii U. They've sold off their ownership in the Seattle Mariners, what Yamauchi family interest that remained in Nintendo was cashed out and sold off in 2014, and Iwata who was appointed by Yamauchi is now gone, having left no appointment for a successor.

The company is actually, literally, for absolute realsies, going down the drain.

>>376990764
>Nintendo is dying
There's that phrase again. Don't you grow tired of repeating it every generation?

>>376992631
>Switch is fast on it's way to becoming the next Wii U
>Switch sold more in a month than the Wii U did in a year
>Still huge interest in it from people who can't get their hands on it yet

ok

>>376992695
Wii U sold more in 8 weeks than the Switch had. Wii U had two back to back solid weeks at launch while the only great selling week for the switch was the first week. All in all, Wii U was selling like hotcakes at the start too.

Selling well at the start is not an indicator of longlasting momentum. You'd think Nintendo would appreciate this fact given the Wii U.

>>376992867
more than that, the Wii U launched day-1 with 30 retail games whereas the switch likely won't have even 30 retail games til 2019.

Wii U actually had a reason for people to buy it and it still sold like shit. Anyone deluded enough to think the Switch will do better, thinks as such with zero evidence or reason. Doesn't have the games, the price is too high, dubious build quality - there are some pretty detrimental factors working against it.

Nintendo is really good at meming their stockholders aren't they?

These graphs don't even have numbers and they pretend the only reason the boost occurred was because of pokemon go.

>>376986897
I wouldn't worry about Aonuma. After SS he said SS style motion controls were going to become a standard. I fully expect the next Zelda fives years from now to be nothing like
