@natsock @rasterman @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage @mrsaturday @why I honestly don't think Nintendo changed that much. A lot of stuff that came out well after iwata died was still in the oven while he was alive and acting CEO. There were questionable business decisions then, and there still are now. From going behind the scenes to shut down Project M, to not letting online Melee tournaments happen because of it being modded to do so during COVID-19 where nobody could meet in person. Iwata was closely involved in the development of the Switch as well. The Wii sold like a mother fucker and has some incredible games on it (Mario Galaxy, anyone?). The Wii U would have tanked Nintendo (due to horrible advertising, the games were really good) if it weren't for the 3DS, which still sold pretty well all things considered, and had a pretty good duration of support.
Before Iwata, you had the GameCube, N64, and SNES, all of which had absolutely amazing games but suffered from some critical design errors/business decisions especially for the time (I liken the Wii U to them in a way). You had major IPs like Final Fantasy jumping ship because cartridges didn't have enough space, and that would continue through to the Wii and even today on the switch in some cases (which has led to the horrible advent of buying streamed games).

Nintendo has incredible games, often times with really unique and polished gameplay you can't find anywhere else. They have always made very weird decisions for their systems and sometimes that has come back to bite them. They are somehow always simultaneously ahead of the curve and behind the times. The rest of the market is typically what dictates how well something they put out well be received, and you can see that tenfold with the switch. Even though it is super underpowered, it fills the handheld niche insanely well and the games are focused on good gameplay, rather than the shit many people are getting tired of from Playstation especially. As a reminder, the Switch was basically fully developed with Iwata overseeing the project. If you ask someone what consoles they have, it is likely they own a Switch. Just as it was with the Wii.

@coolboymew @rasterman @NettoHikari about as easy as it is to hack a wii. just has one of those DNS hacks, installs a channel and there ya go.

@NettoHikari @coolboymew @rasterman yeah the wii u is THE best console to have if you want to experience nintendo's entire catalog from wii u and prior. really easy to hack. it's got the best DS emulation of any device period, for the sole reason that there are two screens, and the bottom screen has all the controls on it. there is no other experience like that.

wish i didn't have to sell mine but unfortunately was hurting for money at the time.

@coolboymew @rasterman yeah it's way too simple of a game. i'd honestly love a new ice climbers game that's kind of in the same vein as kirby and the forgotten land. just a really solid and fun 3d platformer that takes place on a big mountain. maybe with some puzzles thrown in. it could even be two player!

it's kind of crazy that, of all the nintendo characters, ice climbers made their way into melee and smash in general, despite only having one (really boring) game on the NES. was it really big back in the day or something??

@CentaurBreeder @cummies if you must know, the main one's krystal. because i'm a basic bitch. i've legit got a star fox tattoo, i fuckin love star fox, ever since i became sentient.

but there are plenty more.

it's what growing up with these kinds of characters does to a nigga. pokemon, disney, the works.

@rasterman @coolboymew i'm personally banking on the ice climbers reboot

@CentaurBreeder @cummies

@rasterman @Wyatt @special-boy it's fake news unfortunately

@CentaurBreeder @cummies implying i only have 1 character

@coolboymew huzzah! maybe we'll see half a screenshot of metroid prime 4!

@cowanon @pix

@special-boy @Wyatt it's not a sudden thing, it has been happening for many years. i think it may have originated from someone saying that dolphin pussy juice can kill you from cumming too many times or something like that.

@cummies everyone is a furry for at least 1 character

@LouisConde it won't be able to say anything about whinnie the pooh or tiananmen square
