Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

[Betonhaus]

If Nintendo is willing to bend the knee in a kid’s game like the Paper Mario: The Thousands-Year Door redemake, then I don’t look forward to seeing what they’ll get away with a decade from now. Wokeism is a terminal cancer and all big corporations are affected by it, not just some or most. Nintendo, unfortunately, is no exception, they just have some of the best PR to date.

Honestly Nintendo always panders a bit, we just don't see it as much because the direction of pandering changed from our childhood. Vivian was always a cross-dresser, effectively a literal femboy. The first time they ported it to America they made Vivian a girl because America was conservative to the point of pearl clutching, and the second time they ported it they made Vivian a tranny because America became liberal to the point of being hostile to anything that doesn't go balls to the wall. Nintendo has not changed, it just responds to how America changed.

It's always been the narcissist whims of official English "translators"/localizers, and their incompetence, as the main root of the poor text quality in Japanese games. I also despise them for succeeding in perpetuate false ideas of the Japanese language (such as claiming how stiff and nonsensical it is) as a way to deflect their poor proficiency in both Japanese and English. Being terminally-online on Twitter seems to be a job requirement these days to become a localizer too, hence all the bizarre changes in things deemed "offensive for modern times"

To compare with the JP text (both OG and remake):

Bowser: " A quiet Princess Peach isn't bad too!"
Goomba: "Yo yo bro (nii-chan), I see you're bringing a cute girl (nee-chan) with you".
Princess Peach: "I...Maybe I should follow Kino-jii (Toadsworth) 's instructions and act like a princess from now on?"

People who act as if we’re just complaining about there being more nigger, fag, or troon representation don’t realize those are just the end stage symptoms of a larger problem. Corporations are pushing for representation of “oppressed” people because they now realize they don’t have to make good games anymore in order to turn a profit. For every ten normal people, they can be replace with one troon who will be a lifetime customer as long as the corporations pander to their interests

If that was the only problem, that our consumer interests were in jeopardy since pandering to libtards is more lucrative, then it wouldn't be much of an issue. Media bending the knee is a symptom of social decay, not just corporate greed.

It was ported in 2004, not 1954.

Those are pretty bad, are there any other significant instances of woke text?

 

[Incecticyder]

I might be a bit of an optimist on this but from my point of view, the world at large is turning against the woke at large and troons in particular. Woke is starting to be seen as detrimental to success or a while now and Japan is starting fights against woke localisers. If the West and the East raise enough of a fuss, then maybe the infection will be cured quickly.

 

[Clarence Big Boss]

Leave it to BananaSplit to once again, showcase the absolute worse of localizers from NOA and Treehouse. I also know these same type of fags at NIS are ruining The Trails series with their god awful cringy translations. Learning Japanese to avoid localizers isnt even worth it anymore when new games from Japan are becoming pozzed. There is a user on Twitter who showcases just how bad nippon games get censored (as well as anime dubs) and he goes by "iuntue". I remember seeing how the Dragon Ball anime from 1986 got censored in the dub but not the sub. Iuntue showed me that.

Here is a picture that shows that even the JP version of Paper mario TTD remake got pozzed. All credit goes to iuntue.

Nintendo Announces Second US Store, Opening 2025​

Even Nintendies are roasting Nintendo for this, LOL:

In case anyone's wondering, the reason California shithole cities like SF get stuff like this is simply because it's where the ports are for import shipments from Asia. Despite the high cost of real estate, it's much cheaper to have outlets right there where the shipping containers drop off as opposed to having land shipments of product sent out to other areas of the state, let alone the entire country. Portland and Seattle have things like this for the same reason.

Pretty sure Nintendo doesn't really know just HOW awful SF is right now. You kind of have to see it for your own eyes to really understand, though there's plenty of footage on display to showcase that. Either the decision makers are old and think the city is still bustling like it was over a decade ago, or it just looks like the cheapest option on paper without looking into it. Either way, they're going to learn quickly that they should have gone literally anywhere else (surprised they didn't pick LA considering that's where the Universal Studios mario land thing is).

The Switch is confirmed to be getting some good content in October:

Like all previous consoles, shovelware like this is the biggest sign that the next one will be here shortly.

so what are our bets? they shut it down a month after opening? They outright cancel the opening?

That and the endless remakes. 3DS went out the same way.

They go after pirates like rabid sabretoothed tigers so I doubt it will be pretty. I wonder how their new DEI officers will react to that when management sees the looting. I am expecting civil war (yes, I am optimistic and I see no problem with that as long as it is grounded in reality). Seriously though, seeing how protective they are when it comes to their IP and product, I do think there will be a bloodbath in the company.

Civil war implies some level of equality. Nintendo of Japan can completely dissolve Nintendo of America and form a new one if they ever wanted to. They probably won't do that, but they might use their connections with the Yakuza to ensure some specific heads roll before their golden parachutes are paid out.

The Wii was majority shovelware lol. Think back, most of the Wii's lifespan was the worst of the worst barbie-tier money grabbing, because you also had waggle-gimmicks.

FIFY.

I'm guessing that the most likely outcome will be a year or so after opening, they'll submit the sales reports and find out that it's an open wound on their budget. Whether they pull the plug on it or not, I'm hoping that we'll get video footage of their troon'd out front-of-house employees fist fighting bix looters while the bearded-soy-face and bubblegum-haired managers hide in a corner.

I strongly suspect that they will get broken into and looted just before they open. And have daylight robbery on opening day, and a couple more times before Nintendo pulls the plug. Nintendo is very loss averse.

Just wait for the moment the manager requests money to fix everything that has been vandalised. They will yell at the mayor to fix this crimewave, the mayor will refuse, looting and vandalism will keep occuring, Nintendo will up the security with guards and blastproof doors like a bank, they will only allow few people at the time and only without masks and then decide that it is propably better to close. I will say this though: I do not want to be in the shoes of the DEI officer that has to defend looting at an angry Nintendo excecutive. There will be blood!

Insurance will cover it

Property can be replaced, Black lives can't

Nintendo is from Japan. When it comes to product display and store appeareance, they can be really autistic, almost OCD about it. It is the culture. They will not be ok. Also, I remember back in the "Summer of Love" insurances are starting to cancel arson and looting payments due to how often they had to pay the victims. Not to mention that severe vandalism might cause the store to close for a while. Nintendo will keep a close eye to it.

 

[Kiwi & Cow]

I don't. /co/ goes apeshit over it apparently.

Although there's been crickets regarding the new show, which if you're wondering what that's like...

I can't believe the thing that did me in was the dab WTF were they thinking?

What really sets this game apart for me is that you have the Transport Tycoon-like gameplay in which you are expanding existing towns and villages by providing them with people and raw materials. This can be enhanced by funding the construction of your own factories, commercial properties and residential buildings. But doing it yourself is very expensive and not feasible right out of the gate except for maybe one or two buildings. The Sim City styled gameplay comes in with managing your relations with local officials and government and dealing with your neighbors. Where the game really becomes its own thing though is the sheer depth of those systems as well as the addition of a plethora of business-related options and opportunities. The other major aspect of this game is that materials and products are tangible objects in the simulation. You need to allocate space to store these materials and if you have a huge stockpile of fish in the Northwest but need to sell it to your neighbor in the South, you've got to have the infrastructure in the right places to make that happen or else it won't happen. Building materials won't magically teleport to a place where construction is happening. And while construction does happen without your help, you can significantly speed up the process by moving materials to the places they need to be or to places that you want to grow.

Found an A-Train post earlier in this thread. Anyone here actually play this game? Steam and Switch keep recommending it but nobody I know actually plays.

It sounds good, if a little daunting.

Sakuba Metal Works and SmokymonkeyS will release the remastered adventure game Garage: Bad Dream Adventure for Switch on June 6, the developers announced. It will support English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese language options. Garage: Bad Dream Adventure first launched for PC on March 25, 1999 in Japan. The remastered version launched for iOS and Android on December 10, 2021 worldwide, followed by PC via Steam on July 7, 2022.

Learning Japanese to avoid localizers isnt even worth it anymore when new games from Japan are becoming pozzed.

That's something I will disagree because it's both a pessimist and defeatist attitude, nevermind the sheer range of games, both old and new, once no longer needing the middleman. Same for other entertainment media such as comics, mangas are a gigantic field that not even fan-translators can fully tackle.
That said, people in western countries have entirely the rights to ask for a better translation quality, and criticize localizers for their unprofessional behavior anytime. Learning a foreign language is no mundane task (let alone two in my case) but it's never a waste of time if it lines up with your personal interests/hobbies.

A-Train All Aboard Tourism is a train + business + city manager. It is directed at the issue of passenger transportation not production/industry logistics, so the focus is on timetables and schedules.


It's a relatively easy game where you don't need to understand most of the things in order to play but it has an insane depth for autistic people who are really into this genre. But I can assume people could be tricked into thinking it's going to be a cute game about trains because of the anime ladies present in it, and then realize they're being told economy topics such as the depreciation of their assets and the impact on the company's balance sheet. And the city is not an abstract entity either, you really need to take into account the unique characteristics of each region and city before making your plans. Unlike western tycoon and city builder games, it's a real simulator not a sandbox game; even building something wrong can be a death sentence as you will have to pay for the demolition team to destroy the thing and still have the loss remaining on your balance sheet.

The main issue is that its UI is so-so, it's also pricey (rarely goes on sale digital) and its expansion DLC is stuck on the Japanese eshop (it is compatible with the western copy however). If you feel hesitant, I believe there is a Steam version you could pirate in order to try out first.

It also features a map editor where you can even create your own map, scenario, character dialogues and event flags. With the ability to share and download the maps from other users too.
