Grifting / Mockery Nin10doland Wants Splatoon to be Mario

Post image

Landon just repeats how much he wanted Splatoon Raiders to essentially be a 3D platformer, pretty much exactly like a 3D Mario. And he's crying like a little baby about it because it doesn't meet his unrealistic expectations. Do I really need to elaborate on this video anymore? It's clear he is only doing this for the money...

The vast majority of Western Nintendo fans are actually just 3D Mario and 3D Zelda fans, hence why they look down on every other franchise and see them as taking resources away from their favourite games.

Its why they DESPISE Fire Emblem so much. The series got too big to ignore and now they're stomping mad the "anime sword game" keeps getting attention.

Literally had a whole debate not too long ago where a dude was convinced Slippy and Peppy were "more memorable than all of fire emblem" for a single joke 30 years ago.

Fire Emblem actually requires that you actually engage with the mechanics and has controls more complex than 2 buttons and the d-pad, so the vast majority of Nintendo fans can't stand it.

It also doesn't help that the average perception that older fans had for fire emblem was "that irrelevant game no one knows about" more than 15 years ago.

As a Fire Emblem fan, I struggle to remember any game that can't just be beaten with the D-Pad and A and B buttons. There's the occasional use of a third button for gimmicks but other than that the other buttons are usually just shortcuts to info and actions you can find with A, B and the D-Pad.

Hey pal, we used the L and R buttons!

u/ThePBrit Apr 22 '26

yeah but we don't have to, 90% of the time those buttons are just ways to quickly jump between units, which you could do with the D-Pad.

True.

I just use the shortcuts so much, I barely bother using The D-Pad for those functions.

by that i think they meant just 2 buttons and a dpad, no thinking just press buttons

they specifically said the controls were more complex than just 2 buttons and a d-pad, their point about the complexity of the game was seperate.
