Yeah I also bought a Wii U for Bayonetta 2. Maybe I'll get Bayonetta 3 before the Switch is over. Oh boy one game like this every few years.
Devil's Third was hardly released in America and also crap. Fatal Frame V was digital only and in general the series has been worse off in Nintendos hand. At least in America.
Clearly representative of Nintendo's general output.
Don't play Fire Emblem so I know nothing about it. Only played the first one on 3DS briefly.
Sony also put out Knack, Gravity Rush 2, and Shadow Remake. So I guess by your metric, it's not all cinematic shooters either.
Yes they publish some things over now and then that appeal to me. Never said they don't. But Astral Chain and Xenoblade are not the connerstones of Nintendo's brand or lineup. Mario and the like are. If you want to say Sony is just one thing, you have to say Nintendo is just one thing.
"Oh but Xenoblade sells millions".
So do Gran Trusimo and MLB the Show. I guess Sony is also in the sim sports area. Somewhere Nintendo also isn't.
You have nothing but nothing system warriors arguments.
1. You mention Bayonetta and then add a slight "oh boy one of these types of games every few years!" Newsflash: the genre Bayonetta only pops up once every few years. There's only three series that are famous for that type of gameplay: Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and Ninja Gaiden. DMC was dead for ten years (DmC doesn't count), NG has gone into hibernation. We just got DMCV this year. Bayonetta has kept the torch lit for that particular genre for years, this entire decade in fact. This hints at bias
against Nintendo.
2. "Oh boy one one of these types of games every few years!" part 2 - you said Nintendo didn't have anything and that people were just mindlessly praising Nintendo for the Direct when this year alone Nintendo has Daemon x Machina, Astral Chain, AND Bayonetta 3 in its lineup. This shows you do not care about games themselves. You care more about systems.
3. Knack sucked. Shadow of the Colossus is a remake.
4. Do you
play Sony sims like Gran Turismo and MLB The Show? Hasn't GT been usurped by Forza? Most think GT has slid extremely downward in quality. But you use that as an example while Fatal Frame games are bad?
5. Nintendo doesn't make sim games like MLB The Show or Gran Turismo, but they're the ONLY major publisher pushing arcade sports gameplay in the 2010's. Games like NBA Street, Virtua Tennis, SSX, Sega Rally are dead. Meanwhile, Nintendo has Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart 8, and recently put out Mario Sports Superstars - a compilation of various sports titles - on 3ds.
You are using list wars between companies and it's telling me you care less about good games and more about the platform. Do you play some of these games you're listing or are you using them as poker chips in system wars? That's like me using Nintendo being one of the few arcade sports developers out there as a case against Sony. I have only ever used Sony itself as an argument against Sony's own output showing I have no real horse in this race.
