This thread: "Nintendo so stupid. Everyone hates them! They're gonna go bankrupt cuz no ones going to buy their games because of their bad business practices!" Reality: The Switch 2 has one of the strongest console launches, despite increased prices. Their games continue to hold more value than others, with used games selling for near, or even above, their original sale price. Their consoles and games remain the #1 pick for families with kids. You people are delusional. Yes, Nintendo's practices are scummy. No, this does not affect their numbers in any way. They are still wildly successful, and even if they weren't, they have such a huge reserve of capital that they could operate in the red for 20 years and still be fine.It's way too early to call them "wildly successful." The Wii U sold 13.5 million units and was a flop. I would expect the Switch 2 to sell more than that to the die-hard fans alone since there are a lot more people playing games nowadays. But the die-hard fans aren't what make their consoles "wildly" successful. I guarantee you those families with kids aren't going to be buying as many $450 consoles with $70+ games. Maybe they will be wildly successful. But we'll have to be a year or so out before we can know how likely that will be. Will they make money? Oh, that's a given. As much as they made with the Switch? I doubt it, but we'll see.

"Anyone I don't like must vote Republican" Hey shit eater, you don't know me. You're making assumptions based on absolutely nothing other than me not following the Lemmy hivemind. You need to have clear, firm evidence before you can make a claim. For example, you're a mouth breathing idiot. My evidence is based on your previous comment. What exactly do you bring to the table?

Oh my God, I'm so sorry that I have a realistic view of the world rather than pretending the opinions on here are in ANY way reflective of the general public attitude. Please forgive me for thinking critically and not just immediately guzzling that sweet, creamy, copium jizz.

I think Astro Bot is already better than any 3D Mario. We're missing a really good kart racer though. CTR wasn't it (and certainly not after they stuffed a load of DLC into it weeks after release), and the last one I really enjoyed was Speed Freaks on the PS1...

[This](https://sh.itjust.works/comment/19404963) is where I tagged you and you’ve proven me right multiple times since then.So your evidence is me telling a person having a mental crash out and making a childish rant due to overexposure to the internet to get off is your "proof" that I voted Republican? Weak shit. My man, I'm as queer as the day is long and have voted blue for longer than the first time your mommy congratulated you for not shitting your pants at the age of 12. But please, keep acting like a pathetic gatekeeper. It's not like you have anything else going for you in life.

Going back and looking through their posts for more pages that I really wanted to, I don't think they're particularly right-leaning; they seem to flip regularly between well-thought-out posts and comments to open trolling shouting insults. I'm going to just block them, there's really nothing of serious interest to lose there.

I don't see why. I grew up with those systems as well, but Nintendo is actively hostile to videogame culture, so there is no reason for my child to develop a love of Pokémon or Mario. She can be nostalgic over new things.I think you are missing a big part of my meaning. As an original Nintendo child, they were different. If they are so bad now that you and others are not letting them be Nintendo children, then it's sad for me because they aren't who they used to be. If you can't see how is a dad thing that something I loved is now a shitty thing, you are going to have a really tough time in life, given the last few years. As the saying goes never meet your heroes. Innocence lost kinda thing.

At this point you must be getting paid to spout this defeatists nonsense. If not, perhaps you were just born to be a shill. "Your guys opinions don't matter. That is why I am spending my time to tell you this!'No, I just have an adverse reaction to collective stupidity. I know I should try not to let it get to me, but when I see a bunch of people engaging in collective delusions about the state of the world, it upsets me. It's like people choose to believe that just because what they're saying sounds right, or should be right, that it's actually the way things are. This is how we get voter apathy. This is how we get Trump winning because "certainly people won't support him THIS time". I'm just sick of people pretending that anything in our society still follows the old rules of morality and justice, and then getting dismayed and confused when it doesn't. I just wish more people would see the world for what it is, rather than make shit up that sounds good and desperately pretend that's the same as reality.

Never give Nintendo money.

You don't seem to understand the problem. People need to switch to games released under open licensesEnjoy Tux Racer, I guess

My line in the sand was when Nintendo went after GMod hosting of their character models. When they go after emulators, I was upset but at least acknowledge there’s an economic relation there - and there’s some legal basis for protecting their copyright (even if the emulator itself is technically outside their rights). But taking down models used solely for fan creations is just pointlessly mean. No developer I know is upset about people putting up animations of their game protagonists doing silly shit like slipping on banana peels or getting blown up.
