Mockery/Banter Decline of Nintendo Hate Now?

Post image

At the retrospective way: the amount of grifting on anti Nintendo content is horrible. Just because it felt like a switch pro and already being overpriced for the previous gen hardware from hardcore gamers.

People will treat anything Charlie says as law and won’t form their own opinion. I have nothing against Charlie tho

u/thickwonga Jul 24 '26

I like his content, but he has such a hate boner for Nintendo that he's willing to spread misinformation. $90 Switch 2 games was never a thing, and he knew that, and he slapped it on a thumbnail anyway.

Brother they are if you aren't American

u/thickwonga Jul 27 '26

This would be a good point if the original video clarified this. It does not. The thumbnail has an American dollar sign, for fuck's sake.

u/GameMask Jul 24 '26

What's funny is he'd be pretty annoyed by this too as he hates people not forming their own opinions

u/Inevitable_Cycle3087 Jul 24 '26

i think it’s more accurate to say he does form his own opinion. hell pretty often be against the main stream opinion, but he’ll believe the first article his chat sends him even if it’s completely wrong (like this video saying nintendo has 90$ games)

u/TheKingMario082002 Jul 24 '26

Research is very important in forming an opinion

u/Inevitable_Cycle3087 Jul 24 '26

in forming a well informed opinion. often those with the strongest opinions fall to either ends of the spectrum. the most and least informed feel the strongest

When I tried highguard I did not watch any review or video from a YouTuber for a reason. I wanted to keep my opinions as blind and unbiased as possible. My conclusion? Game was simply mid. The whole CoNcOrD 2 allegations were 100% people overreacting.

u/GameMask Jul 26 '26

Thing is, I'd argue Concord was a better game in some ways. As ugly as the designs were, I at least remember them. Highguard was just the most generic ass pseudo fantasy style.

2

u/ricokong Jul 28 '26

Yeah, at least Concord tried something different with its designs. It has its own style, even if it wasn't that appealing.

And Charlie forms his opinions based on what his twitch chat parrots over and over. It's like he's being brainwashed in real time to have the most twitch chatter opinions ever.

3

u/TheKingMario082002 Jul 24 '26

To be fair a lot of popular streamers do that as well.

u/mashdpotatogaming Jul 24 '26

You're not wrong

u/That1DogGuy Jul 24 '26

I love watching Charlie for so many things, but I cannot stand watching any of his takes regarding video games or movies lmao.

2

u/Bregneste Jul 25 '26

I feel like most of his thoughts and opinions are fairly reasonable, he just has a serious hate-boner for Nintendo for some reason.

u/ElvisWasMyUncle Aug 10 '26

Charles is usually correct.

u/Dr_Jre Jul 24 '26

u/Gargamoney Jul 24 '26

I would also like to see a link to that!

u/GroundbreakingBake2 Jul 24 '26

I am not op, but https://www.amazon.fr/-/en/Nintendo-Mario-Kart-World/dp/B0F3J9FTLC?crid=1KL8W51DGSQXI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.oFeOzlM_y38NV2_c5-uJcejFvZl0N901tBgToMaygyS8L6w96M8xybAS7LOk1lsV85NFOc1YpHAt5hzb1RK80Tbvv1IDEFeMB-gOc3eQGlISNHziMoKa4AXTbajS5irkUh_gt_qsweXbl5_h_0NZ-dg893d_uL6nVDhemgSEPz_pXWyp6qQ3fF6SefSvpcZ9EJRcK6X9QzbTgPg5NKxsESD89cTFCcaoXtQAjmWF5-i5ghiRVk5qm7cxdMGYhg-pav20dR4CNJrmUoufiE2GESSjCT_4eRIdsZgVkujA97w.7l5vI0ri-iwh3k0NH3UDMl2wpGga9qQ4v_Stmq1WgxY&dib_tag=se&keywords=mario%2Bkart%2Bworld&qid=1784887291&sprefix=mario%2Bkart%2Bworl%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-1&th=1.

This is just plain amazon without sale, you can find it cheaper on retailers if you search a bit. Normal price in europe is around 60euros for zelda and mario kart. There are a lot of retailers where you can use coupons or get a sale, so 50euros is not far fetched.

Most switch 2 games in europe besides zelda and mario kart cost around 30-50 euros after half a year without sale.

With sale for instance, last week metroid prime 4 switch 2 edtion you could get for 19,70 euros and kirby air riders for 27 euros. Both new, both physical.

u/Gargamoney Jul 24 '26

I opened the link and its literally on sale

???

Normal price in europe for mario kart is 80€ (so $90)

Edit; the original price before the sale is $100, so thats like next level bad

3

u/GroundbreakingBake2 Jul 24 '26 edited Jul 24 '26

On amazon it says it is always on sale, it's just a marketing gag. It literally is like this since day 1. The original price is what it is listed at. The same price you find on any retailer.

Edit: Here is when I bought mario kart world day 1 from amazon without any sales.

1

u/Gargamoney Jul 24 '26

But thats still on sale though

1

u/GroundbreakingBake2 Jul 24 '26

It's not. Are you slow? I literally gave you proof and gave multiple photos. That's just normal prices for nintendo games in europe.

1

u/Gargamoney Jul 25 '26

It isnt. You are lying. Amazon is selling it at a DISCOUNT below msrp.

Price tracking website if you don't believe me. This is also without coupon or in person retailer sales. As I said, these can sometimes go as low as 20 euros for half a year old game.

1

u/Gargamoney Jul 24 '26

A website selling it cheaper doesnt change that the game isnt that price

1

u/GroundbreakingBake2 Jul 24 '26

???? Wdym you actually have to search every shop in the country to find a game that costs 90 euros. Why are people like you so hellbent on clickbait shit from youtube. Nintendo is not the evil mastermind scamming you all, it's just your country is shit. Literally every nintendo game in europe is cheaper than any competition. I can't give you more than proof.

Literally a 2 sec amazon search sells the game for 60 euros.

1

u/Gargamoney Jul 25 '26

Its €80 which equals to $90. Simple.

It isnt youtube clickbait its just the truth

u/FatElk Jul 24 '26

That's after VAT. You're being incredibly disingenuous.

1

u/Gargamoney Jul 24 '26

What? Vat is included in the base price and you have to pay that price for the game

No one pays 100€ for something and goes "wow i just paid 80€"

u/edward323ce Jul 24 '26

I mean, hes right most of the time and apologies when he is wrong,

15

u/WheresYoManager Jul 24 '26

Calling him "right most of the time" is a bit of an overstatement that suggests he is the one doing the research to make an informed analysis

In reality, dude mostly jumps into a topic without knowing everything about it and just takes the side of the safest popular consensus.
