What is their secret? How can the quality of their games rival the rest of the industry combined?

Nintendo. Knows. Polish.

>releases the same platformers and third person action games for the last 20 years but with better graphics
>originality
POGGERS
WE LIKE FORTNITE

Didn't bother with a shitch because it's no games. Thanks for the hint, Reggie

/thread

Can anyone do a test for me with his Switch? If you use it in Docked Mode and 720p output - Do games run faster or it is simply running a 1080p with downscaling?

Because if Nintendo didn't make good games the company would fold over night.

What the fuck are you talking about

when was the last time nintendo made a good game though?
metroid zero mission?

>rival the rest of the industry combined?
>hasn't released a good game in 12 months
Yeah I know you idiots have low standards but releasing a string of 6/10 games isn't quality at all.

Like every console except PC
It just displays at a lower res, no boost in framerate or stability

Your Switch console when it is connected to the TV. You can choose between 480p, 720p and 1080p - I want to know if you choose 720p - do Games runs faster or they still run at 1080p internally?
Example, choosing 1280x720 in a PC game using a 1080p monitor will runs faster than 1920x1080

You know, the one you have been crying about for several years.

The system software has no input in what res the game renders it only can switch docked or handheld mode display profile

Ok, thanks - That would have been nice to see a framerate boost. I have a 720p HDTV this is why I am asking

>empty boring world
>no dungeons
>weapons that break
unironically one of the worst 3d zeldas

And are still crying about to this very second, sad.

Bloodborne?

There's two ways to sell products and services, user:
1) You can sell premium quality products that people can depend on, no matter the asking price
2) You sell value items with multiple purposes that you can throw away no problem since they are dirt cheap

Any lower than number two is going full China and sell knockoffs, and those only sell in piss poor countries.

yeah I wanted it to be good
but instead I got was a OPENWORLD!!!! meme game

My take is that main lines actually have time to cook.

Nintendo studios alternate with main projects so they have alot of time to be made.

like yeah, we get mario party and ect. spin offs every year, but we get a main mario or a main zelda every 3-4 years.

contrast to how everything is being rushed right now with a sequel coming out every year, nintendo just has alot more time to make a good game.

so the answer is I suppose, development culture.

>contrast to how everything is being rushed
What the hell are you talking about no first party game in the last decade has been rushed no matter the platform. Crackdown 3 was in production for 6 years, same with the new GoW.

BOTW is great, thanks to based Monolith Soft
I can see why people who like classic 3D Zelda don't like BOTW though, it's very different

does laughing at that make me a faggot?

DOES ANYTHING ON THIS GOD DAMN WEBSITE WORK

>input command yikes
>command not found

What the fuck happened when we went to 4channel. We used to be able to repeat the same things for over 2 years straight without this issue.

Stop it! Stop liking it! It's a shit game! stop thinking it's good and stop giving it 10/10s! It's shit because I don't LIKE IT.

oh shit my bad, apparently i cant read
i thought was talking about triple a titles in general, not nintendo

ya but u r forgeting 1 thing

nintendo makes bad games lmfao!!!

Checked and mated guys. /thread

They aren't afraid of catering to their target audience and giving them what they ask for. Good consistency of quality.

That audience may be kids and manchildren but the point stands.

Okay I just want to say something
Nintendo doesn't make good games and every single person itt right now that thinks they do is wrong and I am right.

How does that make you feel?
Knowing you're wrong like that?

Knowing you will die wrong and I will die right...

....kek your joking right? Botw is there only good game in years ffs bunch of delusional retards in here

lmao

Most of their AAAs (Odyssey, BOTW, Smash Ultimate) are 8/10 games, very good.

Mario Kart 8.1 on Switch is my favorite kart racer ever.

Okay I just want to say something
Your mother doesn't make good children and every single person itt right now that thinks she does is wrong and I am right.

How does that make you feel?
Knowing you're a faggot like that?

Knowing you will die a faggot and I will heterosexual...

they don't. they just have a rabid fan base.

how did they get that rabid fanbase user? Here's a hint.
Their games are better than everyone elses

>Implying I will die

>no defense
sad.

no, they just used to be. back when they had no competition in the 80's and 90's.

Sega was way more genuine competition in terms of actually good games, and Nintendo crushed them into dust.
Sony and Microsoft can't compare to classic Sega.

Or
3. You market the shit out of it.

They only release a handful of polished titles a generation. The rest are experimental tech demos, ports, or borderline shovelware that resemble mobile games.

its why 2018 had next to no games, and 2019 is set to have MAYBE 1 good release for this year.

Their secret is ''soul''. And I really mean it.

You mean nostalgia pandering and never setting the bar higher so its easier to meet the next time they make the same game again. They literally live to push hardware and same IP cycles.

>What is their secret? How can the quality of their games rival the rest of the industry combined?

Nintendo is a multi billion dollar company, they obviously have talent but they have several flops like Gamecube, N64, Virtual Boy, Wii U

>You mean nostalgia pandering
any long-running franchise panders to previous entries and the existing fans
>never setting the bar higher
elaborate

Ask a game designer from another company what the most important thing about their game is. You'll get a bunch of different messages.
Ask a Nintendo designer and you'll get one of two answers fun or gameplay. They both mean the same thing. The gameplay and gameplay design is #1 in Nintendo games.

>any long-running franchise panders to previous entries and the existing fans
Very rarely does it still have redundancy to the point Nintendo does.

>elaborate
Games look like shit, run like shit, have awful writing, terrible combat, etc.

>they give a shit

Annnnnnnnd /thread

you're beginning to jump the shark into being assmad about nintendo because it's nintendo, most especially with "nintendo games run like shit" when they're pretty well-known for squeezing the most optimization out of their own consoles

>How can the quality of their games rival the rest of the industry combined?
lmao

Yea making phone tier games on unity is really step above the competition. Do Nintendo fans even know what standards are? Let’s not forget all the cash grab shit Nintendo has produced since the switch launch.

It's going to be $60, right?

God you people are dumb. When was the last time Nintendo didn’t insult the intelligence of their audience? Every game they make is mechanically shallow and panders to casuals. In fact their games have gotten worse since the wii era.

Pay up gaijin, we no indie company here we need money.

The delusion is real, modern Nintendo releases 80% ports and rehashes

>smash
>mechanically shallow
i bet you dont how to tech

at least your honest with you disability

this is probably some retarded bait, but im bitting
it depends on the game
Switch docked can go as high as 1080p while handheld can go as high as 720p
But it all depends on the games if they want to run their games at 1080p/720p or lower, so that the game is able run

>When was the last time Nintendo didn’t insult the intelligence of their audience?
The last time they made a game.
I mean, even when they make easy games they don't pretend that it's some hardcore game.

"Who is the master that makes the grass green?" is Zen riddle.
When you find the answer everything will make sense.

Because they are trying to make games fun. No, they don't always succeed, but at least they're trying. It's really fucking bizarre that this isn't common practice in the industry anymore.

This is why Nintendo can sell hardware almost entirely on the shoulders of their 1st party library; something Sony and Microsoft cannot do. Horizon Zero Dawn isn't an awful game, but when I play it and most other AAA games, I don't get the impression the devs wanted me to have fun, at least not first and foremost. I get the impression they wanted me to be entertained, sure, but that's something different. Entertained can mean several things. Having fun in a typical AAA game today seems more incidental than anything else.

Tech chasing has been too nerfed since melee for techs to add any depth to the game. Characters move too slow and i-frames last for too long. This goes for almost every mechanic you could bring up : it could be interesting if Nintendo didn't force the gameplay into a slow, linear, kids-friendly party game.

They focus on gameplay and they hire the best talent in Japan which doesn't hurt

>When was the last time Nintendo didn’t insult the intelligence of their audience?

Seethe harder.

Link's Awakening is a near-perfect testimont to game design.

That other shit you posted is not.

Why can't you accept this?

Nintendo simply understand video games in a way that very few other developers do.

They don’t rely solely on 3rd parties to populate their games library.

Apologize
