      Except the Nintendo Switch "X" years in, because they age like fish dookie. You hear him say how in the Direct, Paper Mario Origami looks like it was a return to the original with also fresh new mechanics, but then it actually turned out to have the most lifeless bosses, generic NPCs and the new mechanic is weird and pointless. I'm not saying Scatt is to be blamed, I'm saying it's sad to know what future Scatt will be hit with. On that subject, I met 2035 Scatt in a dream, and he told me Nintendo finally got around to 60fps and 4k in 2032. Also, future Scatt is married to a hamster who is the first female president of Nintendo. Reggie Fils-Aime having been killed in-office by a rampaging mob of Pokemon fans who were fed up when, in 2025, EA released FIFA '21, after modding the players to look like Pokemons, and saying it was a brand new, non-soccer Pokemon AAA title.
      Also, 2035 Scatt is WAY into RPGs, especially anime RPGs. They're practically all he plays.

      The more advanced gloves u mention were out there, but Nintendo didn't plan to use them as a baseline, because the power glove wasn't made by Nintendo it was made by Mattel, who bought the writes to use the concept from the creator of the Z-Glove... neither Nintendo or Mattel had a plan to produce anything other than what they produced. And while it wasn't a critical success, it was definitely a commercial success. With e production cost of around $23 million, after a VERY successful launch, they made upwards of $60 million.

I remember my dad playing the bowling game with me, and even seeing grown businessmen go out an buy a wii just to have a little fun with those games. Nintendo takes a lot of risks, and some of them aren't really ready given the technology available at the time, but it also means that I've never felt like I've outgrown their games despite over 15 years flying by from my first gameboy.

    @Seekarr 6 лет назад +119

    The term was (incorrectly) used mainly to try and damage the Wii's reputation because it basically exploded Nintendo back to the top of the gaming industry again, and Sony fans were very upset about that. The term gimmick, prior to the Wii, typically referred to characters in the hip-hop industry: example: Eminem, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Eazy E, many of them pretending to be gangsters and involved in murder. The term was also used in pro-wrestling with a very similar meaning to the hip-hop industry.
    But if you're going to suggest that the Wii put Nintendo back five years, you are SORELY mistaken. The Wii did quite the opposite, it blew a hole in Sony's domination of the market, and disrupted the market in a very positive way. It also saved Nintendo from going the way of the Dreamcast.
    Motion controls weren't a gimmick, they were a interface; that's something different. A gimmick is more along the lines of "Blast Processing" or the "64" on all the N64 games, rather than an interface like motion controls, touch screens, or d-pads. It's similar to how gamers use the term "casual" all wrong, and effectively use it to mean "lame" instead of what the term was actually coined to mean - games like Brain Age and Fire Emblem Heroes where you play for very short sessions, but continue playing the game for months or years.

      It put nintendo behind by being geared toward people who didn't care about gaming and giving the impression that there platform wasn't for gamers and by being too underpowered to run comparable versions of multi plats which turned away a lot of third partys especially when that version often sold worse with the exception of casual titles like just dance which further turned away the kinds of people who will consistently buy consoles.
      As a result even with the switch doing well third partys are very reluctant to develop seriously for it because the wii did well and their games didn't sell well their since most of the people who bought it just played casual games and didn't care about anything else or if they did they got a console that could handle the other stuff.
      Also casual doesn't mean "lame" it refers to depth. For instance even though a lot of people enjoyed it temple run is a casual game since all there is to it is swiping when an obstacle is coming up to avoid it; there's no depth or challenge to it and it's designed more as a destraction than a game. Brain age and FE mobile are like that as well.
      They are admittedly lame to a lot of people who are passionate about gaming since there's not much depth to them and in the case of brain age it's little more than a digital version of something you can get in a convenience store. If you're not into the vast experiences video games can offer and just want a conveniant puzzle compelation there's nothing wrong with enjoying something like BrainAge but if you are looking for all that it probably won't do much for you.

    I actually quite liked the second screen in Star Fox Zero. Or at least, I liked the game in multiplayer. In multiplayer one player control the TV and flies the Arwing, and player 2 uses the gamepad to aim and fire. It was great fun to play with my brother that way.

      Just Another RUclips Channel the multiplayer is good because of that, but imagine having to do both jobs simultaneously, and you get the single player experience. It’s annoying to constantly have to look down at the screen and not be able to see incoming attacks, which is why the 2 player is so much better

      Sajan Patel Honestly I played in 1 player as well, but I don’t really remember it. I don’t remember it being bad, but I don’t remember it being as good as the 2 player. The thing is though, I played far more multiplayer with my brother which is probably why I remembered it more. I can easily see why both jobs at once would be awful though.
