Support NeoGAF

[∀ Narayan]

Is Taro an N64 fan?

IIRC he's into shooting games, so the shade makes sense.

He has good taste. This makes sense considering the "bullet-hell" elements in the Nier games. It would be cool if Drakengard 4 featured shoot-'em-up stages.

Except for Silpheed lol

Heh! True.

 

[CDV13]

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

Yes! This is what I was getting at. Thank you, my friend.

 

[sixteen-bit]

[traffiktiger]

In the distant post-apocalyptic future Nintendo 64s will be in pristine condition & worshipped as idols.

 

[zephry]

Are they serious? They need to grow some thicker skin. I think it's actually pretty cool if they did this on purpose.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

But... didn't they do this as a form of flattery?

I mean I would be flattered If I where Nintendo, that in this post apocalyptic world Nintendo 64's are still being found... And of course it's going to look like a piece of junk after all that time. What where people expecting a new weapon?

 

[Wagram]

That's hilarious. Get over it.

 

[atr0cious]

Wat wat

It looked way too much like a 3DO to me, and the bump just makes it look too much like a cheaper knock off version.

 

[Salty Rice]

As someone who loves the Nintendo 64 and was the biggest console of his childhood i find this hilarious.

Grow up idiots.

I thought this was the joke.

 

[Danis Saur]

lmao

 

[Mechazawa]

I can't believe they changed it.

It's a console.

 

[RecRoulette]

I have no interest in this game but that's a great joke.

Sad to read they caved and are changing the name.

Source? That's too bad.

 

[Lifeline]

Source? That's too bad.

It's in the OP.

 

[dh4niel]

Wow. Fanboys are pathetic.

 

[FunkyDealer]

Nintendo 64 was a mistake.

 

[RecRoulette]

It's in the OP.

I'm dumb. Thanks.

 

[BocoDragon]

This reminds me of how people would throw Sega Genesis' out the window when you're climbing the tower as Bartzilla in Bart's Nightmare.

 

[Bronetta]

Wow. Fanboys are pathetic.

Nintendo fanatics are a special breed.

I used to think I was a Nintendo fanboy as a WiiU/3DS owner and having grown up with NES but the Switch/Zelda launch showed me Im nowhere even close.

 

[Koyuga]

Completely fair imo, n64 is My least favorite Nintendo console after Wii U.

 

[EDarkness]

I'm surprised that Japanese players would get up in arms about something like this. Learn something new everyday.

 

[chronic_archaic]

He's not lying.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

A petty thing to get angry over, but whatever. Shame they're going to change it.

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

I'm not too upset its gone. It kind of sucks to see the game creators bend so easily over butthurt...but its not like it was anything significant. We have this thread to document what was previously there...its "legacy" lives on

 

[Inuhanyou]

I'm surprised that Japanese players would get up in arms about something like this. Learn something new everyday.

gotta show the goki's their place after all.

Seriously, going on certain sites, the 'war' between nintendo and Sony is bigger than anyting else

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Watch it be renamed to "5w1tch" .

Spoiler

lol

 

[kpaadet]

The N64 was alright, the controller though...oh boy trash tier indeed.

 

[JayBabay]

Holy shit, I envy that passion lol

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Boobs - artistic integrity

Jokes - tasteless, should be kept out of games

 

[fvng]

Useless trash can still be loved.

mickey mouscapades was awesome bro

 

[Mediking]

Its just a refrence... but Japanese players are the ones who are really mad?

 

[jstripes]

If I were the dev, it would be so hard to resist the urge to double-down and release a patch with something guaranteed to offend them even more.

 

[MrDoctor]

nintendo censors at it again

 

[fvng]

Wat wat

They didn't design a nice looking system until Wii

 

[oimori]

in japanese console war, radical nintendo fanboys and microsoft fanboys unite as anti-sony team.
for them, Platinum Games is an evil empire who canceled scalebound and insults Nintendo in its game to support Sony aka the root of all evils.
This sounds ridiculous, but...

 

[sn00zer]

I hope the Change it to DRMCST or something

 

[pixxxelz]

Yoko Taro does it again

And the game hasn't even launched yet 😂

 

[LotusHD]

And the game hasn't even launched yet 😂

It has, just not for the US and Europe lol

 

[Sai-kun]

lmfaooooo i love thiiiiss

 

[pixxxelz]

It has, just not for the US and Europe lol

derp, for some reason I thought it wasn't coming out in Japan until the 28.

 

[atpbx]

These are people who definitely need to go and have sex with someone other than themselves.

 

[Philippo]

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

Some levels of fucks given since it was changed.


Which I can't believe actually happened.

That's a bummer.
But i'm sure it's not by Yoko's will, if it was up to him he would probably reply by inserting a giant floating N64 as a final boss.

 

[Nya]

How sad

 

[nded]

I hope the patch turns it into a Switch.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

Anyone know what this was changed to in the NA release?

 

[Chinner]

I hope the patch turns it into a Switch.

Was this the face you pulled when you posted this?

 

[nded]

Was this the face you pulled when you posted this?

Yeah, sure.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Except for Silpheed lol

i like that game

 

[jaypah]

What a weird bump.

 

[Prototype]

Wow. So Japanese Nintendo fanantics are just as stupid as western ones. Good to know the fanaticism runs worldwide.

Somehow the first thing I thought of was Charlie Hebdo.

Nintendo fans have been on a bad trajectory lately. It's really painful to watch.
