Yes.

>>379358856

Analog sticks were maligned as unnecessary fluff at first. It's a miracle we even got them. And now were stuck with shitty twinstick on every controller from now until the end of time.

>>379358954
>It's only bad if you are a fucking aspie who likes enemies that can't fight back while you rake up the combos.

The balance in that case is that you always fight enemies in groups, sometimes half a dozen enemies or more, and when you're going for pure plats, taking one hit is tantamount to dying. Bayonetta 1 didn't do this and it was harder than the second game, retard.

That anon's pretty dumb for thinking those changes make the game garbage, but it is a weaker game at higher levels of play in exchange for being smoother for intermediate players.

>>379359201
>remote possibility of good level design in my 2D Marios

There is NO possibility of good level design in mario maker because there isn't a fucking world map.

>>379359201
You're confusing "native" with "out of the box", they aren't the same thing
The hardware is capable of supporting it natively. It doesn't emulate anything.

>>379359201
>You have to put some work into the vWii running your games natively, so it doesn't run natively.

Do you think natively means without piracy or something?

>>379359357
>weaker game at higher levels of play

Doesn't matter what level of play you were on, the game was also far better looking than Bayo 1. I would rather get good at a game that also looks fantastic rather than get good at a game that looks lame in comparison. But I guess aspies with no consideration to aesthetic wouldn't care about that at all.

>>379359368
Nintendont does not simply redirect input, it has to emulate GC input because vWii lacks it. Look it up.

>>379358894
Their hardcore fanbase abandoned them first with the Gamecube. Repeating the same moves would have been suicide. Wii was a calculated success.

That's quite a pollyannaish point of view, anon. I'm sure that "good games that don't sell" work wonders in your fantasy land but in the real world businesses need to make money off of the products they sell so that they can continue making more products.

>>379359516
I agree that Bayo 2 is a lot better looking than the first game, but if how nice the graphics are is seriously chief among your concerns for action games like this, it's no wonder you have no standards for game balance.

If all video game makers were really real they would try to make the most optimized games for sales and they wouldn't be good because there isn't that much inherent overlap between a game that sells and one that is good.

You'll get nowhere by reaching like this. Also there's no reason why enemies shouldn't be able to escape a stun, God Hand had this this egregiously and yet is one of the best action games of all time.

This wank about "balance" for the purposes of a score just makes you sound like a faggot. Especially if all you care about is a score or ranking, which tells me that YOU have little standards for tension and difficulty in a game. Why not simply make Bayonetta take no damage if all you are going to do is reset a level if your score takes a dive? It changes nothing as far as you are concerned.

>>379360018
Nevermind Iwata putting it into actual practice. That's totally not the hard part. Yamuichi had a neat idea.

>>379355260
>we are in the worst timeline.

Fuck off /pol/ddit

Daily Reminder that Iwata was the one turning Nintendo from a industry leading innovative core gaming powerhouse into a casual/shovelware/rehash factory.

>>379360442
This

>>379360030
But Bayo 1 is harder than 2 and is still better, which I already said, so I don't know why you assume I want the game to be easier. And nobody playing for rankings is going to do it their first time through. If I've already played the chapter and I'm trying to get a perfect score, I'm obviously going to reset if I take damage. If I'm at the point where my next goal is a perfect score, I've probably played the level multiple times already.

I'm sure I sound like a faggot for caring more about the fighting mechanics in an action game while you go on about how the second game having more consideration for aesthetics makes up for its tangible gameplay shortcomings.

First year of Switch is all Iwata's planning.

Do you seriously think they changed the business strategy of the Switch on a whim in 1 years time?

>>379360442

Nah, it started pretty much the second Iwata took over. Just remember how the Gamecube started software wise and how software support pretty much immediately dried up after Iwata took over.

>>379360646
>Bayo 1 is harder than 2

Not by any significant amount. Besides, Bayo 2 feels better to play, so that already makes it better.

>And nobody playing for rankings is going to do it their first time through

That's because the first time through is the BEST. The rest are all easier playthroughs, so people playing it again need some kind of distraction (like scoring) to keep them occupied.

>I'm sure I sound like a faggot for caring more about the fighting mechanics in an action game
