@DIAC1987 @TrevorWalden @tha_rami You're literally wrong and conflating completely different issues with one another. "Excellent games" is ******* hilarious when literally 98% of the worst NES games ever made had the "seal of quality". This romanticised Nintendo wankery is nauseating for anyone who was there.

@puggalf @TrevorWalden @tha_rami Nintendo was trying to prevent excessive shovelware, this is quality control. And with stronger games, third-party companies stepped up to make sure the games they were allowed to make were better than pre-crash quality.

@bklynvideogames The Vita and Saturn had similar issues, lots of support in Japan, very little in the West. The Dreamcast was sadly DoA and the Wii U didn't get enough attention from anyone besides Nintendo. I'd say the Vita. If not for the memory cards and support, it would have taken off.

@segamstim Man a lot of you need to read up on the 83-85 games crash and how Nintendo helped prevent a total crash and burn.

@puggalf @TrevorWalden @tha_rami I mean, it -did- mean quality, it meant Nintendo wasn't getting a broken half-assed game. Yes the company was rather ruthless, but it was a necessary overreaction to the video game crash they barely survived years earlier.

@bklynvideogames Tbh, all four. The Wii U failed mainly because Nintendo didn’t market it properly or support it well which is a similar problem the Vita had and both consoles had good power to them, Dreamcast only suffered because PS2 just outclassed it hard and Sony was trying to take out Sega

I keep hearing people talk about Nintendo having **** internet yet when I queue into a game on my Xbox my **** keeps rubberbanding me backwards. I don't have that problem with Nintendo not nearly enough to warrant how much the ratio of how many times I keep hearing that.

Mario Party Superstars has yet again, the flaw of dumb nintendo issues. You can play online splitscreen ONLY with friends. You cannot matchmake on splitscreen with random players. Why? Why nintendo

I just got done detailing a used Nintendo 64 and controller and that has been in storage. Still need to fix the reset button though. But it looks like I could be playing GoldenEye 64 as soon as next week.

When I was this idiot's age the big nintendo grift back then was that "They don't make games for adults", and those hypocrites were big fans of Spyro, Crash, Kingdom hearts, Sonic etc. Different examples. Same grift.

@maplesbian True but with that Crash come the final of: Intellevision, Colecovision, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Oddisey II. The games continue in other countrys but with old software and descontinued machines till Nintendo come with NES then videogames returned with new games for all world.

(@DIAC1987) reported
@puggalf @TrevorWalden @tha_rami The video game crash happened because there was too much low-quality bullshit. Nintendo came, delivered excellent games from the jump, and demanded quality from their third-party products while exerting power. None of this is fake, and the results of that era proves my point.

ambient 5: music for bathhouses
(@wolicyponk) reported
@mrfeelswildride it had better launch sales than the Gamecube iirc, ofc Nintendo had far more cash on hand. the big problem iirc was because the PS2 was the technically advanced one, PS2 buyers weren't going to settle for a price-cut DC just because the PS2 was delayed
-

(@bento_bongos) reported
@mrfeelswildride The problem was that the dreamcast and saturn suffered from more than just rampant piracy, poor marketing, and bad timing. The Wii U also feels more like a prototype of what would be nintendo's best console yet. The Vita? A joke.

@CCS_KW The problem with the DS is that you can't get them from the Nintendo Store and they're usually on sale, so you can buy them for less than $10 and download them. The DS means you have to buy each game for $30+
