Nintendo Fanbase Stupidity General - Rants on the explosive fanbase

[Dark Edea]

Why did Nintendo:

• Release an instructional DVD on how to play Super Mario Galaxy 2 alongside the game?
• Release a soundtrack CD for Super Mario All-Stars with 20 tracks, half of them literally just the sound effects by themselves?
• Release a two-disc soundtrack CD as a bonus to anyone who bought both versions of Smash Bros. 4 at launch, only to exclude music from the Earthbound series but include tracks from Nintendogs?
• And while I'm at it, why can't you use Bluetooth headphones with a Switch, but you can use a USB bluetooth dongle as a workaround?

Because fuck you, nerd! You're going to buy it anyway!!

And they were right.

The Bluetooth on the Switch was already outdated by the time Nintendo picked the specs. It's not even BLE compatible.

The hacking community had better luck getting other controllers working natively on it than other Bluetooth devices. On the other hand, it absolutely loves USB devices, not that it'd help the Smash scene considering you still get long pauses whenever you ask someone if they use an Ethernet adapter.

Speaking of Ethernet, Jesus fucking Christ the wifi sucks on the Switch. It's having trouble staying connected to a router that's in the same room on a non-congested channel.

Consoomers get what they fucking deserve, though. Just ask the guys whose LIMITED EDITION JOY-CONS are plagued with drifting problems, or the people who try (key word: TRY) to play Smash Ultimate and Splatoon 2 on Nintendo's shitty online service. Said online service also has an outright PALTRY selection of retro games, when I can literally download the NES, SNES, and N64's entire libraries on my PC without my hard drive breaking a sweat.

Jeez. The PSP Go from 2009 supported Bluetooth headphones.

What's even worse is how the retro games service thing, which you pay for, doesn't even have a schedule anymore, and the releases tend to be more filler than anything. Super Mario RPG? Nope. Eliminator Boat Duel? Yes.

Nice UI, though. I'd like that interface on RetroPi.

Because fuck you, nerd! You're going to buy it anyway!!

And they were right.

I actually did buy the Super Mario All-Stars CD because I saw it on clearance for a dollar at a used bookstore. I didn't know what it was, so I put it in the CD player in my car on the way home to check it out and I burst out laughing when I discovered that the last ten tracks literally were just individual sound effects

To this day I don't understand why nintendo didn't put a Ethernet port on the WiiU, as I recall the WiFi constantly shitting itself and dying out for 30 minutes. If what I'm seeing is right, the Switch has the same issues.
Don't get why they just don't put the damn thing. If they're going to have a paid online service for their game's, they should give people the option like all other systems, especially if the existing WiFi sucks ass.

"Part of [the meeting] was talking about what he was up to. He was experimenting with a piece of video game content; he wanted reactions to it. He comes out and says, 'I want to work with Nintendo,'" Fils-Aime recalled. "We had so many different projects at Nintendo going on, the possibility of doing something with Kanye just wasn't there, and so I had to find a way to politely decline this opportunity to work with him."

Fils-Aime said that he tried let the multi-hyphenate down gently. "I told him, 'Kanye, you don't want to work with us because we're tough, we're hard. All we do is push for the very best content. We would not be the type of partner you would want to work with.' And he looks at me and says, 'Reggie, you're exactly the type of partner I want because of that reason!' It's like, 'Oh my gosh.'"

And even Kim Kardashian-West was there as well, while Miyamoto and Reggie tried to reason with Kanye.

One can only imagine what a Kanye/Nintendo game would look like.

It would have been Super Mario Bros. except the bushes were not the clouds.

I will never for the life of me understand why Nintendo keep building up a retro library of games for a console only to burn all traces of it to the ground as soon as the next piece of hardware comes out. I've never seen any other company do this and the fact they get away with swindling people this way fucking baffles me.

They can't sell you Switch 3.0: Internets Edition!1 if they put a decent wifi on it. It's like when they released that wii remote add-on to make the waggling less imprecise, what the fuck was the point of that console?

I thought that add-on was specifically for Skyward Sword?

Wii MotionPlus was bundled with Wii Sports Resort (before the revised Wii Remote Plus was released a couple years later) and subsequent games were designed to take advantage of it.

So the intern who handled all the social media shit for nintendo just quit

I don’t understand the occasional genuinely shitty games that get dumped onto Nintendo Switch Online. No one likes Mighty Bomb Jack or The Immortal. I guess I understand Atlantis no Nazo on the Japanese app though.

If I recall correctly, they come separately (and obviously for one's PC). Just collector bait though.

Nintendo also provided trailer discs that could only be played on a pc.

Nintendo Conducted Invasive Surveillance Operation Against Homebrew Hacker

Leaked Nintendo documents have revealed a frightening surveillance operation carried out against a hacker who was researching exploits for the 3DS handheld. In addition to monitoring his private life, including aspects of his education, when he left the house and where he went, the company followed its target from his place of work in order to pressure him into stopping his activities.

Remember when Nintendo had that dreaded friend code system for Wii and DS?

Seriously, it's been ten years and they still haven't understood the concept of the Internet?

The Switch STILL uses friend codes. It's madness.

• Release a soundtrack CD for Super Mario All-Stars with 20 tracks, half of them literally just the sound effects by themselves?

1. Because Miyamoto is a genius and you are not, you are just a simple non-Miyamoto man and need to be taught how to appreciate Miyamotos genius. Now go to Miyamoto theme park! Ignore pandemic!
2. Thats been a thing in Japan, some anime OSTS include sound effects so I guess they decided to do the same with their game.

What's even worse is how the retro games service thing, which you pay for, doesn't even have a schedule anymore

Which leads into my question, why did Nintendo go from selling the games individually on the Wii to this Sega Channel (a Genesis thing) system? Its stuff like this that encourages pirates (let alone that these games are quite old and not everyone wants a Switch).

When you're the Disney of gaming you can get away with a lot of things. Back during the Pokemon I Dont Care controversy, the one where people boycotted Poke for not porting over PoKemon just to release them as DLC later, there were people that bought multiple copies of the game either to spite haters or because they were worried about Game Freaks future.

SMT 3 HD apparently did awful on the switch.

Time to chalk up another RPG series that switchlets left out in the cold.

I dunno how the MHRise numbers are looking but the western fans keep saying that this is another port of GU with improved graphics and it's also being chastised for no nintendo character costumes.

Yet they're still jizzing over the fucking themepark and all the exclusive merch you can supposedly buy.

To be fair, Nocturne HD isn't even out in the west yet, so I wouldn't call SMT a lost cause on the Switch just yet.
