I get the goofy lovable sidekick to the quiet Hero is a classic trope but SERIOUSLY, did Nintendo not learn with Navi??

navi was less annoying as a character and more annoying as a repetitive sound clip. Otherwise she was pretty tame. Majora's mask and Twilight princess had helper characters with a lot more of an abrasive attitude that people liked more, but on top of that they wern't going HEY! every time you locked into an enemy.

navi wasn't written to imitate a horrible mid 2010s marvel movie

I'd say it's more late 2010s-2020s marvel in terms of writing.

...Or ghostbusters 2016.
Still yeah it's got that specific stink about the writing.

Here's video of the fag in game, marvel humor and generic soyboy self insert. How did Nintendo fuck this up so bad:

I will never forget playing Metroid 2 alone in my room at night as a kid. The intensely isolating experience of the graphics, music, and labyrinthian maze you can easily get lost in. No media for children offered that kind of experience to me. If that experience had been repeatedly undercut by some retard Redditor making jokes, it certainly wouldn't have stuck with me so strongly.

This doesn't make me angry, it just makes me sad that tons of kids are having that kind of experience ripped away from them by millennial retards who think they know best, who have a compulsive need for their games to be "cozy".

what did he mean by this
 
I'm just still mad that they released Prime on switch but not 2 or 3 when the fucking wii collection had all 3.

After how garbage the Switch experience was (it never even got Windwaker and time locked Mario was bullshit) I'm missing the Switch 2.

Looking at this gameplay I made the correct call. Nintendo doesn't care about quality anymore, just look at the recent Pokémon. Hell, even Inazuma Eleven, a ancient weeb soccer game got a better recent release than any 'beloved' Nintendo IP.

Samus is now a baby sitter.

I can't wait to see this constantly flashing in your visor and playing an obnoxious beeping noise whenever you get into combat.
 
Rate me optimistic but it seems the game is setting him up to be slaughtered or become a damsel in distress.. It’s more easier to have an atmospheric, isolated experience from a game dev perspective than a NPC with new dialogue and animation that interacts well with new environments for the entire game.
 
>game over if you leave the npc behind
>npc repairs long range comms later in the game so he can pester you at any time unprompted

it's like they purposely tried to design the most annoying game of all time

There's a lot of better written versions of that out there. This has "forespoken" type vibes about it int erms of how the guy's written.

Besides Mario and Zelda it’s obvious that Nintendo has no idea what makes any of there franchises popular.

They likely do, at least the creatives. The higher ups likely have begun doing what other game companies have been doing though of "if a game sells less than your main successes start changing it and dumbing it down to chase trends" shit. Youtube clickbait people always talk about how poorly metroid sells compared to other nintendo games but it's FUCKING NINTENDO of course the shit that's not mario or pokemon is gonna be smaller!

This is true but I still kinda like him. I'll have to see how the full game plays out, could be that he's just very early-game and disappears once you're out of the starting areas.

With that in mind, he doesn't seem all that bad.

I barely play modern games either but I played the demo for Pikmin 4 and it had the same type of thing. It's a constant "tutorial" that literally tells you exactly where to go and what to do at all times, for every second of the game. Words to describe it: spoon-feeding and hand-holding. Picture the GPS in GTA except instead of being in the corner of the screen it's the entire screen, for the entire game whether you're in a vehicle or not. Nintendo sucks now.
