It's one thing to post constructive criticisms. It's another to shit-post made up delusional garbage that has no basis in reality.

Listen up, I'm against a lot some of the decisions Nintendo makes. Where is youtube/netflix on switch? Why did you price DKC:TF on Switch 10 dollars higher than the Wii U version? Why lock Mew to an overpriced cashgrab accessory? NES classic controllers which have wires 2 feet long? Not including an AC adapter with the New 3DS? That stupid ass voice chat app?
However, this thread (and the others) are pure fanboy garbage. "How Kirby Killed Nintendo" get the fuck outta here.

This "assessment" is hilariously awful. About 90% of the "facts" you stated are either very pointed opinions or straight out false.
And I don't even like the Kirby series

Come fuck on. You clearly spamming your shitty agenda here. Again if you hate Nintendo that much then play something else instead of reduce yourself to spamming.

... Yea, I'm sorry, I don't realize you were the OP.... I assumed pro-Splatoon, not against...
I'm sorry I'm not on your side Killey751, and don't get your dislike.

Ah yes. Unfortunate.
Totally had nothing to do with the fact you were called out for making several anti-nintendo threads (including this one) for the sake of just rehashing your dislike for the company.

The Kirby series goes back to 1992 and Iwata became president in 2002 so… I’m not sure what “Nintendo” we’re talking about here.
Nintendo’s “casual period” is easily explained by the success of the Wii with non-gamer audiences, but that eventually backfired and the company learned its lesson.
The argument would have held a bit more water maybe six years ago.

huh? That really isn't the issue, the issue is you are stating something like Splatoon failing after the series moved 8 million...it just makes no sense and you are letting your bias of the company control a thread that factually makes no sense. If you think its a BAD game, sure thread away, but failed? Even this whole "kirby killed nintendo" thing makes no sense and I agree about Nintendo having this family friendly concept, but you have very little to really say KIRBY the IP caused this. So the hate isn't the reason, the questionable thread is the reason behind them locking it. It just makes very little sense.
Mario and Zelda are older then Kirby....
Kirby is made by Nintendo, thus NINTENDO would be more so to question about its "family friendly" art direction vs Kirby itself
and Splatoon is factually successful in terms of sales, thus a thread saying otherwise makes no sense.

Exactly. I agree with many of the points in the thread and STILL think it has no real basis as it seems they can't accept that not liking Splatoon doesn't mean it failed, Kirby being family friendly has no real factual basis as THAT is the thing that made Nintendo have more games like that when....Nintendo already had games like that.
So someone can hate Splatoon, fair, disregarding sales isn't.
Someone can think Nintendo is family friendly and casual....fair lots point to that, but saying KIRBY IS THE REASON WITH ZERO EVIDENCE isn't.
Holy shit OP. Your credibility is completely gone
That was regarding a completely different topic.
Nintendo is a very poorly run company that has made a lot of poor decisions. It would be VERY difficult to cover them all in a single thread.

So poorly run that they had the fastest selling console in U.S. history and made a $1.6 billion dollar profit last fiscal year.

You're confusing a valid critique with the completely fabricated garbage in all of ops threads. There's tons of things they can be critiqued on, but that's not what this is.

I don't agree with them on most of it. But I've seen valid critiques in this thread and have watched people jump into defense mode like it's Yu-Gi-Oh.

People aren't offended by Killers threads because its disrespectful to Nintendo. We're upset because they're trolling spam meant to get a reaction rather express a valid criticism.

People who were Nintendo fans during the N64 era (and at the very start of Gamecube (before Iwata took over)) would understand a lot better where OP comes from.
It's been quite a while tho, even Iwata himself is dead now. It's about time to let go OP. Get into PC gaming, you'll be a lot happier.

Has anyone actually gone through just how many creative and one off stylistically Kirby games there are?
FFS Kirby's Dream Land to Kirby's Adventure was a HUGE development in the mechanics and that was only game 1 to game no 2. Kirby's Dream Land 2 then added animal friends. Kirby's Superstar (Fun Pak) added 2p co-op with the 2nd player controlling a turned enemy.
Outside of the main series Kirby has consistently been one of Nintendo's most creative properties.
If someone claimed "The OP is a dribbling mong." it would have more legitimacy than this topic and I would never personally insult another user.

Can you people please stop bumping this thread? OP is clearly a troll and you are just giving him the attention he craves.
The chance of any productive discussion happening here is 0%. Just fucking drop it.

Read his post history, the threads thats hes made and youll see why so many of us are triggered. It got to the point where he was ban warned by a mod for his frequent anti-nintendo posts.
Bringing up a legitimate argument is never an issue because it leads.(or SHOULD) to constructive conversations, like discussing the pros and cons of nintendo online. Or nintendo's backwards ass decision of porting nsmb wii u rather than a good game like sm3dw or mario maker.
But this isnt constructive, this is bait.

You got the wrong P. Its after PlayStation that Nintendo no longer owned the entire gaming landscape.
Nintendo burnt so many bridges at that time. Not only what they did to Sony, but what they did to huge publishers who once were happy to act like Nintendo was the only choice when deciding where to release their games.
But, while Nintendo is no longer synonymous with "video games", they're far from dead or irrelevant. Switch is incredibly hot and is closer to PS4 in popularity than it is to Xbox One.
EDMIX

Agreed, I dislike Nintendo too, but these post don't even have any real criticism. If they had something valid, a solid base to talk about then ok, I'm on board as I disagree with LOTS the publisher does, but this whole "Kirby killed Nintendo" or "Splatoon failed" make zero sense.
Nintendo doesn't make much new IP, we can talk about that.
Nintendo makes kiddy games....sure we can talk about that.
But saying Splatoon FAILED or KIRBY is the reason behind the kiddy games makes no sense.

I disagree with this whole post. Nintendo was still making great games after Playstation and started falling off after Pokemon. Nintendo hadn't owned the entire gaming landscape for awhile before Playstation either thanks to SEGA. The quality of Nintendo products didn't start declining until the turn of the century...

It's true for most developers to go through periods of ups and downs. Sony products started falling in quality after the last of us, they haven't been the same since then and got pretty lazy this gen.

I'm all for healthy criticism of Nintendo, but I feel your execution is off the mark here, OP. I think there are deeper, underlying reasons Nintendo gets the flack it does, and this encompasses a lot of reasons that could probably all run the course of their own respective thread. I think the biggest reason that Nintendo does Nintendo is that it's a very distinctly Japanese company, run like a Japanese company, by a very core group of Japanese business suits that have their own cultural context and considerations to bring into the equation when they choose to design and release a product. A Japanese-based business does not operate like a lot of large US-based corporations. They have an entirely different vetting process that can be overturned by literally anyone along the chain, hence it takes a long time for Nintendo to adapt to a fast-paced, high-demand market. It makes sense when you think about it, why they are so focused on their business, rather than the rat race between the other big business gaming companies.
I understand Nintendo is not your cup of tea, OP. It's not mine, either. But, also realize it holds a very special niche place in the gaming business sphere that holds tremendous influence on the hobby. Nintendo is not for you or me, and that's fine. It doesn't have to be. Respect those who do enjoy it, and keep the healthy criticism coming if you can find solid reasoning to make an argument.

It isn't true. I love to play Mario Party with my sister, Metroid is my most favourite franchise and I have almost every Mario game in my collection.
Unlike
Nintendo has the most brand-protective fanbase ever, that would cyber-bully, stalk and report anyone who threatens their beloved brand until they get banned.

Yeah it is true. Kind of similar like apple fanbase.
Like before switch were officially announced(specs), so many fanboys were screaming how switch will certainly have custom SoC from nvidia with almost xbox one performance.
And so many smarter & people with knowledge of tech said, that it will propably be just a stock Tegra X1.
But no, they didnt believe it, they rather believed one attention whoring twitter "girl" or whatever, while most of "her" leaks were pure lies.
Same with most nintendo stuff, if someone wont agree that nintendo thing X is perfect = rage&offensive mode.
And then pure lies, like zelda/mario/whatever would have better graphics like games like witcher 3/GoW etc. One can like artstyle more, but it is pure lie to call nintendo games being anywhere near of ps4/xbox AAA-games in pure graphical level.
Switch is nice handheld with tv-out, performance is nothing special vs smartphones and ergonomy is kind of bad(for many, not for all). This is mostly true and nothing to be shamed of, but still some cant accept it and be too defencive.
And then of course there are "nintendo points" aka identical game on nintendo console would propaply get higher points than on other systems, because of fanbase that is blind for flaws and reviewers that fear for backlash if they say something bad about mario/zelda etc
I like my switch, but it is no were near perfect, just like other consoles/handhelds.

Man things just haven't been the same for you ever since your "Like this post" buddy got banned. Don't worry he's coming back so there's no need to be upset. It's not stalking when you see their shitposting everywhere and come to expect more of the same from them so forgive me if I thought you were no better. Though nice of you to assume the "mean old bully Nintendo fanbase" got him banned when he has done that himself. Also what did you think would happen? You kick a bee hive and expect them to not sting and attack? Like they are gonna take your shit and not do anything about it? Everyone got sick of his shit not just Nintendo fans and threads like his don't help this place at all. Is it so much to ask for peaceful non console war conversation here?

I do believe Nintendo will be the first one option for gamers in the next five years. And that will be because of Swicht. It has just changed everything. Can't wait to see PlayStation 5 and how they fight against Nintendo.
