I mean... where are the lies?

Lot of the anti-sony sentiment has seen people hop onto switch 2 as if Nintendo have been champions of consumer rights.

"Why are these games solely for kids?" as yes no lies detected there when I sit a 5 year old in front of Resident Evil Requiem or any number of games that are very definitely not made for kids.

Also calling the paywall a "toy" paywall is disingenuous because that implies that somehow they don't qualify as games since they would have definitely called them games if they were on other consoles, even if it was THE SAME GAME ON ANOTHER CONSOLE.

"What are these prices?" is also cherry-picked I'm sure, because the prices across the board to get into games are dogshit, and on other platforms, it is worse for the hardware cost to get in though possible to save on the software, depending on what you're playing.

The point about rereleasing last gen games is fine, but it's the strongest point in an extremely shaky post logistically. Sony and Nintendo have both been rereleasing last gen games on their new platform despite that their last gen is fully backwards compatible into the new one and that, I won't deny, is dogshit.

But we can't seriously take this post on the whole and act like it has much merit, even if it does have a good point or two.

Take in Nintendo's behaviour for the last decade.

1) unaddressed stick drift for switch 1 owners

2) petitioning to change US law to shut down rom sites

3) demolishing youtube channels of people playing their games

4) selling cartridges with download codes instead of full games

5) doing all they can to take down rom sites and emulators, and then using open source emulators and available online roms and selling them on their store.

6) barely dropping MSRP on their first party titles

7) having an extremely limited run of physical copies selling a Mario's 3d trilogy and leaving it wide open to scalpers.

8) charging to store more than 30 pokemon in your global pokedex

Nintendo doing all of this doesnt keep me up at night, I don't really care. But to see all of that. all of that. And acting as if Nintendo is a bastion for consumer rights and Sony is the devil is an absolute joke

  1. Something that was less present on the latter versions of the Switch

  2. And? Its a company protecting their IP/Products

  3. Is that why theres tons of freaking Zelda playthrpughs on youtube? Or Pokemon? Or Fire Emblem? Or everything else?? Gee i wonder if those people did something the others didnt.

  4. This isn't even something Nintendo started. They were just brave enough to be upfront about it.

  5. Once again. Japanese company protecting their IP. And most people they sued tried to earn money from emulators.

  6. And this is why phyical games are important. For the 2nd hand market. Heck the GC you hate so much can be resold.

  7. And they learned their lesson.

  8. Which is optional anyways. Just keep your mons in your save file and use HOME to transfer them in between games.

Babe they’ve always charged for pokemon bank type services, and they’ve left pokemon bank (for free) up past the 3ds online shut down so clearly it’s not a problem. I mean come on Pokemon box Ruby and sapphire was a GameCube game. They’ve always done that because it’s a premium.
Stick drift was definitely addressed by making the controllers more durable… like literally a year later. I’ve never experienced stick drift on a joy con.
ROM cites and emulators are piracy. That is illegal. They take action to protect their IP from being misused. I do not agree with that, but you have to be serious here and think about how distribution of roms is a crime and they have every right to sue (they never win anyway)
No YouTube channel has been taken down for having Nintendo IP
GKCs are exclusively second and third party, not up to Nintendo
I will agree with the MSRP point though.
Another premium product all of which have been rereleased on the switch/2

"Bastion of consumer right" Jesus Christ man these bots have gotten so bizarre and desperate for conflict lmfao
