[Schopenhauerian]

Actually, level of fucks given: They're patching it out.

It is after all quite a nice thing that the good people of this forum know better than to trash the Yokotaro68.

Nice also that SE would choose to honor those insightful & exquisitely sensitive souls who would likewise, even after all these years, still choose to salvage the Nintendo 64 from the trash heap.

 

[Luminaire]

The ultimate troll move would be to change the name of something else and keep this in.

And then make it so this item can only be found in a salt lake or mine.

Heheh

 

[Sami+]

I can't even imagine being the kind of person to be mad about this

 

[Golnei]

Actually, now I'm curious as to how many one-star Amazon reviews this resulted in.

 

[Sesha]

Get these poor nerdy souls a safe space from the mean jokes at some hardware's expense.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

God damn, Japan

Stop being about shame and honor.

 

[Memorabilia]

I'm glad to see pointless outrage culture isn't just a thing in the US.

 

[Richie]

A Nintendo 64 still in this world after 10,000 years. Eat your heart out, bombarded Game Boy.

 

[True Fire]

Yoko Taro keeps trolling, dude is relentless.

Shame they changed it though.

You should see all of the Troll Trophies. Yoko is an evil genius

 

[CDV13]

Yeah, there is no right to never be annoyed or bothered by something despite how folk act.

At this? No. No there isn't.

 

[fvng]

Nintendo 64 was trash though. I feel more sorry for the fish having to swim past it.

100%

 

[Arzehn]

Rename it to something that could be considered Switch related and let the headlines fly.

Currently a massive thread on it on esuteru (1441 posts). All publicity is good publicity, right?

 

[Geg]

I don't understand why anyone would think this was insulting the console...? If it's fished up from the bottom of the ocean or something then it probably is broken/trash

 

[Zooboomoofu]

Yoko Taro just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it.

The For Honor OT title, which I initially thought was terrible, makes sense to me now. I completely forgot about this.

On topic. Must be nice to have so few worries in life you have to reach like this.

 

[Dynasty8]

People get butthurt over the dumbest things.

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

Lol can't even make harmless jokes anymore without someone acting like you're personally attacking them.

 

[Cess007]

I mean, I love the N64, and will fight anyone who diss the N64, but even I found this such a dumb thing to be mad about it.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Grow up. Come on.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Jeeshhhh.

The man put out Drakengard...DRAKENGARD!

His games are the ultimate in trolling. Random potshots at overrated consoles are nothing compared to the fuckery he usually puts players through.

 

[atr0cious]

Console design was trash and looked like a vacuum head. Loved the controller though.

N64 was a bad console with like 5 outstanding games. I don't see the controversy.

There were 4 AKI games on that system alone, and don't forget Extreme-G.

 

[farisr]

I now want them to outright rename it to Nintendo 64 in the patch update.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

If they change the name in the patch, just go full on troll and make it the WIIU item.

 

[The Flash]

It's obviously an obscure Nine Inch Nails reference you guys

 

[gunstarhero]

N64 was trash ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

I hope we find a piece of Ngag3 garbage as well.

 

[Haunted]

But the silhouette in the OP doesn't look anything like a N64?

 

[Rncewind]

its like neogaf in reallife

 

[Yohane]

Console design was trash.

Wat wat

 

[Amalthea]

Well the NIN-64 was never much of an RPG launcher.

Spoiler

Sorry...

 

[MechaX]

Yeah, there is no right to never be annoyed or bothered by something despite how folk act.

I think that his point is that there are things to be annoyed or angry about, but this is not one of them.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Considering that the game takes place thousands upon thousands of years into the future, this is kind of a backhanded compliment. Loved the N64 but don't see how this is offensive to some people?

 

[tdwig]

It's the fun little easter eggs like these that add a ton of character to a game. Hopeful to run into more when I play on NA release that don't get spoiled on the internet.

 

[Synth]

No lies detected though.

I remember a similar gag used in Enslaved involving a 3D television.

Did any die-hard 3D television fans get angry about that?

They'd have to actually exist.

 

[Inuhanyou]

children.

 

[Mega]

I had the thing lol

Yeah and a lot of people had NES too and now think there are only a handful of games that aren't unplayable.

I had the Wii since launch and until a year ago thought the system had only about a dozen good games. It's what happens when you draw conclusions from your own limited exposure to the games, when you only skim the surface and don't actually look into what's really good and recommended in a console's library.

You said there are only 5 outstanding games on N64... when there are at least 5 games that meet that criteris in individual categories: cartoon platformers, third-person/action-adventure, FPS, racing, shooters, action RPG, puzzle, sports/wrestling, 4-player party games.

 

[Bronetta]

LEAVE NINTENDO ALONE!

 

[Aostia]

No switch version confirmed!

 

[Crayolan]

Why would you get angry over this, it's funny.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

#firstworldproblems. I honestly don't see what there is to be mad about.

 

[Het_Nkik]

Useless trash can still be loved.

 

[Plywood]

This is what they changed to:

Missed opportunity to drive the knife deeper.

 

[guyssorry]

That's actually hilarious hahaha

 

[PdotMichael]

Reminder that the N64 was outsold by the Sega Saturn in Japan.

It was a failure of a console from an Japanese point of view after coming from the all dominating NES and SNES.

 

[Spieler Eins]

As if anyone offended by this would ever touch a PS4 controller (without melting anyway).

 

[BigDug13]

The only things the N64 did right was to have four controller ports standard and also revolutionizing console 3D controls with the analog stick. Outside of that, it was the games that made the system great. Best party console of that generation. But ultimately the PS1 shined way harder overall.

Yeah the library was definitely more western friendly compared to its counterparts.

 

[Kouriozan]

If you think about it, it's actually praise.

Indeed, it's built with Nintendonium

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Should have been waggle or wii but n64 has some of top 50 greats

 

[killatopak]

But n64 was trash.

 

[Pancake Mix]

Square just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honour and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase NeiR: Automata, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel bringing this title to the West or you can kiss your business goodbye.
