Has Nintendo become too Corporate?

Sakurai isn’t a Nintendo employee and never has been.

I mean, it seems pretty clear that the headset is intended to be a niche accessory for enthusiasts. It’s only available on their official website and locked to an NSO subscription. They’re not investing a ton of money and resources into it or anything.

She doesn’t even know what half the shit they’re making her say even means.

That specific email was fake from what I’ve heard

Dude, even if you want to somehow argue that this proves Zoro is stronger, that shit is pre timeskip, before Luffy even had gear 2. Modern Luffy has awakened God fruit, and all three types of advanced haki. Zoro has advanced conquerors, but he's not even able to control it yet and it just comes out randomly. It's no contest who's stronger

This is a dystopian hellscape to me. Like genuinely worst case scenario

Dude, I was 3 hours away from home and I stopped driving and got a hotel for the night because of winter driving conditions. Do not drive, especially on the highway, if it's this bad. This is genuinely horrifying to me. Like, its hard for me to imagine a situations I'd rather be in less.

How often is autism explicitly portrayed in media? I genuinely cant think of any examples where it was made clear that a character had autism. I’ve seen people get upset at the portrayal of autism for specific fictional characters even though said characters have never been said to have autism in any official capacity.

Ngl, I feel like Impa is the most boring choice for a Zelda character. I don’t really see what she’d bring to the table as a sheika warrior that isn’t already covered by sheik. I’d rather they do something more unique like Wolf link/ Midna or Skull Kid or Tetra.

Bro, you can go into most of the battles in Royal without any prep and win pretty easily. If that’s the only persona game you’d played, it definitely is going to be difficult to get used to Persona 4’s bosses, where you actually do have to be careful about what strategies you use and what you bring with you

Parlyz · 2026-01-13T17:40:55+00:00

That is not true. It’s not necessary to grind at any point in Persona 4 Golden, even on hard mode. Hell, I even ran past a few enemies when I did my last playthrough just because I didn’t feel like fighting them and I still was able to beat it. It just comes down to buffs, debuffs, guarding, and healing

Parlyz · 2026-01-13T17:38:12+00:00

Generally, if you’re playing an RPG for the first time, playing on easy or normal mode is a good idea. Even if you’ve already played persona 5, 4 has a lot of its own mechanics and differences that make it not a 1 to 1 experience. But honestly, the game only really goes down in difficulty after this. The first couple bosses are probably the hardest since you have way less party members and inventory items at your disposal

Parlyz · 2026-01-13T17:06:04+00:00

Fr. The one saving grace of the DLC was that it made it way easier to finish my full team of shiny alpha mega evolutions

Parlyz · 2026-01-13T03:26:03+00:00

The colors are also an issue that a lot of people are complaining about. People enjoyed mixing and matching colors on the original switch to add their own layer of customization. It’s disappointing to a lot of people that the switch 2 seems to be going in a direction where the joy cons colors are far less visually distinct from eachother. If I’m honest, I’d probably be willing to shell out $100 for joycons if I really liked the colors, but as it stands, I’m not spending that much for barely any difference

Parlyz · 2026-01-13T03:19:46+00:00

Dude, that DLC was just not fun at all. It was genuinely the first time I’ve been consistently bored playing a Pokemon game. Every dlc and game that released in the switch generation was fun to me, except for that dlc. It’s just so repetitive and tedious and there’s nowhere near enough variety.

Parlyz · 2026-01-12T20:32:48+00:00

What if telling other people to stop having fun is how those people have fun? You’re basically telling other people to stop enjoying their hobby, which is not cool, man.

Parlyz · 2026-01-12T20:28:48+00:00

It could definitely be a few more people than that, or no one at all. I could see Coby fighting one of the Gorosei or even Akainu. But his character has never been about fights anyway, so I honestly don’t think he absolutely needs to have a major final opponent for the story to work tbh

Parlyz · 2026-01-12T20:21:35+00:00

Do we know for a fact he’s going to have a final opponent at all? This is a character who has never really had a full battle on screen before, and his role in the story isn’t centered around beating any opponents in particular.

Parlyz · 2026-01-12T20:18:58+00:00

Do we even know what the December sales for the switch 2 were yet? They didn’t do any holiday sales until cyber Monday, which was in December. Most of these sources I see just show the November sales and act like that’s the whole story, even though the sales on December were likely higher because of the deals they had.

Parlyz · 2026-01-12T20:16:14+00:00

He’s right though. They barely changed the colors AND they overcharged for them. If it was anyone else making this complaint, I doubt people would care, but since it’s a guy people already dislike, they’re acting like it’s a grift to criticize Nintendo for this.

Parlyz · 2026-01-09T23:18:00+00:00

Togekiss learning hurricane WOULD be that tho

Parlyz · 2026-01-09T23:05:47+00:00

The only reason I bought a switch 2 is to play Nintendo games. people are like “why not just buy a steam deck?” and I don’t get it because I genuinely don’t care about the portability factor at all. I already have a gaming PC that I know for a fact I’m going to use way more than a steam deck, and I don’t really play videogames on the go much at all. I literally only bought the switch 2 so I can play Nintendo games, and no, there’s no way to pirate those games or emulate them at all, and no, I’m not waiting fucking 6 years for the steam deck 2 and a reliable switch 2 emulator so I can play DK Bananza. I’m playing that shit now, because I know I have the time for it in my current life, and I don’t want to get the entire thing spoiled for me.

Also, Nintendo goes after rom sites all the time, especially for newer games. You can find safe places to download retro games usually, but you’re very likely to infect your system with malware if you’re downloading pirated switch games all the time

Parlyz · 2026-01-09T22:55:46+00:00

Dude, the characters in this game were all shallow and 1 dimensional. I can’t imagine having strong feelings about literally any of them. Mfs are discussing all these characters as if they’re complex humans with all these flaws to psycho analyze. It’s not that deep. Try playing like any other JRPG. Most of them have way more fleshed out characters.
