Like you have said OP, something about them has changed. This might sound bad but....you think this change is cause of Iwata's death? Was he the one holding Nintendo back this whole time?

>>380608138
It definitely seems like there's been a shift in their overall mentality since his passing. I was hoping it'd lead to them finally having decent online, but I guess I'll have to keep praying for that.

>>380606271
How have they listened to their fanbase

>>380606271
They've definitely started to listen to fans but it's also because they saw how the Wii U failed they realized they gotta make different kind of games if they want fans to buy their console. Basically all nintendo fans skipped the Wii U even if it had quite a few Nintendo games that were good to great. They could see the huge impact BotW had on sales and SMO is going to be even bigger because it's Mario.

Did Reggie kill Iwata?

>>380608138
You realize Samus Returns was in development already way before federation force was announced, right? Remember Tanabe in 2015 said they were making 2D and 3D Metroid games.

Metroid was never dead, FF was just a spin off they thought of because real Metroid games were already being made. I kept saying this and nobody listened.

>>380606271
I mean, who else even buys their consoles at this point? Casuals are happy with phones.

How has Nintendo listened to their fans?
If they did and you just happened to strike gold with a Metroid remake that may or may not suck, then one of the following would occur:

> new Switch "joycons" includes a real D-pad
> Mother 3
> F-Zero
> Super Smash Bros. 5

>>380609623
>source: my ass

>>380609284
You forgot Mario XCOM

>>380609973
They are never gonna make a JoyCon with a d-pad because it goes against the entire "gve it to your friend for 2 player" concept that Switch is being sold on.

F-Zero is dead, Mother 3 port is possible, and Smash 5 is going to happen, but probably not for at least 1-2 years.

Are Pokken Tournament, Arms, and Splatoon 2 really not enough for you?

>>380609973
They haven't announced any blatantly bad games or non-game IP rapes. It's still a long way from what the majority of fans want (third parties, good handheld titles, indieshit, the idea that 'mature' shit and casual party garbo can co-exist on the same platform), but it's better than the xXbone420Xx showcasing pc indie games to sell a 500 dollar chadbox.

>>380606271
sorry OP but this simply isn't true. Nothing has changed and Nintendo is doing what they have been doing forever: making the games that THEY want to make. It just so happens that a good chunk of those are also games that you want.

>>380608138
Iwata business plan was called "quality of life". Im sure the new president of nintendos plan is "make good games, make good money". Nintendo spent years trying to resist the tastes and wants of people who play games.

>>380610781
Everyone who would play it has already. You're just throwing money into a hole, like buying old books by an author who hasn't written anything good in decades.

I should've brought up how the relationship between Nintendo and their fans is like an abusive relationship, in case there was any uncertainty.

>>380611053
Right, that's my point. Instead of giving all those people a chance to support and give you money for the game, they basically just said "fuck it" and told people to pirate it.

>>380611153
And like the other guy pointed out, one is a certainty, one is probably gonna happen, and one franchise is dead. Seriously, Nintendo is listening to fans now. One guy even did an interview on reddit. Compare that even 6 years ago and it was very different.

Since this is a Nintendo thread, I'll post this here

https://venturebeat.com/2017/06/15/xcom-developer-is-surprised-and-flattered-by-turn-based-combat-in-mario-rabbids-kingdom-battle/

>“There are few times in my career that I’ve been as surprised as when I was watching that presentation,” Solomon said in our interview. “Just like everyone else, my jaw dropped a little bit when I heard the phrase, ‘As you see, Luigi has taken half-cover.’ What world am I in right now? I couldn’t believe it.”

It really depends on what their online service is like and if we're actually getting a Virtual Console for Switch

Until that's confirmed it's 50/50 either way, but it's looking positive, especially given they listened to criticism of online have one free game to rent a month and changed it

>>380612954
Does Reggie even have any actual power or is he just a hype man? I was under the impression that it's the latter. He's just trying to sell the company line.

>>380612954
Yeah, at the time they couldn't expect the reaction. I'm guess the 'transformation' applies everywhere and they DO plan ahead of time. It's a matter of whether the transformation clicks right with fans.

Yes it was. Stop with this stupid meme.
Platinum was only brought on so they could fix the heavy FPS issues the game had, and the FPS issues were caused by Miyamoto forcing the game to render on both screens.

From what I've heard and seen, the biggest problem comes from Rabbids. No one likes them. In another timeline, Rabbids would have been kept as far away from this project as possible and this game would have had a decent following.

If only. Star Fox Zero is a poor, gimmick-ridden imitation of Star Fox 64 and it proves no developer is infallible.

>>380614352
I can predict whats going to happen.
Mario Tennis got Mario fans into a tennis game.
Mario Kart got Mario fans into a racing game.
SMRPG got Mario fans into a turn based RPG game.
And now, Mario will be getting Mario fans into a turn based tactical RPG game.

I don't think the game will be Splatoon levels of successful or something, but after seeing the gameplay I will be surprised if its a total failure.

Really makes you think.

>>380615296
You don't use two screens to play Pikmin 3, you use the tv and sometimes the map. It doesn't count unless you are forced to use both screens nearly all the time.

>>380609148
they should have said in a public position then "the next mainline metroid is coming. This game {FF} is to tide you over until we have a real annoucnement about it."

by the way I bought myself and a friend used copies of Federation Force for like $20 each and we are enjoying co-oping the game together. I knew it would be fine, its just not what people wanted or were hoping for at the time. It was the announcement and reaction to fans that got people so mad IMO

Not true. Before Woolly World Yoshi was most definitely in danger of being shitcanned. New Island did not sell well at all.

The switch is their last shot, they put all their eggs in one basket by having it replace both the wii u and 3ds so they can't afford it being another wii u level failure.

>>380615662
>WiiU eventually broke even and actually made a little money
>THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER ONE

>>380615641
Your argument stills falls flat because if the characters call each other douchebags and dumbasses, like they do in #FE, then you can't argue that a bikini is too much for the intended audience.

>>380615505
Eurogamer confirmed Prime 4 isn't being made by Retro. Which means that we still don't know what they have been making this whole time.

Do you really think Nintendo is just going to ignore the Joycon's "features" while developing Prime 4? Since Retro isn't involved, there's a real possibility of them repeating the same mistake they made with Star Fox Zero.

Its still worth it for Xenoblade X, Smash 4, W101, the definitive versions of Woolly World and Hyrule Warriors, and Wii + GC homebrew

It is difficult is Japanese for No.

Does it have games you want?

Not right now. I have one and it's pretty barren unless you have the most boring taste imaginable. Needs a solid 20 hour single player game with some replayability.
