Date: November 1st, 2025 7:06 PM Author: ocher comical base double fault Have they improved the new Mario Kart since launch? I can see dumping some $$ into whatever lets you play Mario Kart right now, unless the latest version is a clusterfuck. In that case, get a Switch 1 at a discount (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5792478&forum_id=2#49393701) |

Date: November 1st, 2025 9:12 PM Author: curious hot stain round eye Surprised I didn’t get downvoted too badly in that exchange. That sub is full of Nintendo fanboys who are mad about “prices” and “DLC” and little else. The gamers who complain about DLC are the ones who actually buy all of that lame shit lmao. The prices bother them because 1.) they’re poor and 2.) they’re going to buy like 500 games so an extra $20/ea adds up. Oh and they shit on Pokemon bc they apply their western AAA design sensibilities to Eastern-made handheld games. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5792478&forum_id=2#49393876) |

Date: November 2nd, 2025 11:39 AM Author: curious hot stain round eye FDR-Enjoyer • 1h ago Thought OP had a point, started scrolling the comments and saw him talking about exclusives being worth 3 points or some shit to explain how he’s still right and then compared a modern day console launch to the Sega Dreamcast launch 20 years ago like the industry isn’t a completely different beast now.
What a joke.
driley97 • 1m ago It feels like OP’s whole account is a joke, apparently he’s been banned from nearly every other gaming subreddit and blamed it on liberalism, low karma, and other reasons instead of just admitting he’s the problem, and it seems like he’s doing much of the same here blaming Nintendo for him just not liking the games that have released (which is okay to admit, not every game is for every person. I like Nintendo games but that doesn’t mean I like every Nintendo game and see them never doing wrong at all) and stating non-factual information or really poor comparisons to 20-30 year old console launches that are nowhere close to what we experience now to fit his own narratives. |

Date: November 2nd, 2025 11:50 AM Author: curious hot stain round eye and this is literally on r/fucknintendo. If you get to the heart of the problem - the lack of games - they'll bend over backwards to defend nintendo. They'll insist "we eatin' good." Brown zoomers in the comments talking about Dreamcast like it was 100 years ago. They all think that Consoles all launch without Games when it's not the norm at all. Shitcube had Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, Super monkey ball, Wave Race, animal crossing, and more. Nothing has changed. They think something has changed but it hasn't. All that's changed is that Nintendo realized they diminish themselves by releasing Games. They want to sit back like Valve. They want to torture their fans with Droughts because it makes them all the more dedicated. Every time another quarter passes without a Game being released, it's like a blacksmith folding the Samurai's sword one more time. Nintendo fans' mettle has been forged in the flames of Lost Gens.
And if you make criticisms which basically amount to complaining about you being poor and Nintendo being rich, everyone cheers. Nintendo fans are just Liberal. They're mad that they don't spend $270,000,000k making every Pokemon game like they're fucking Ubisoft lol. They're mad that games cost money. But tell them the truth, that there are no games, and watch them recoil. Gradually I began to hate them. |

Date: November 2nd, 2025 12:02 PM Author: Amethyst Excitant Alpha Plaza Nintendo adults don't want to play games imo, their backlogs are full, they just want Nintendo to succeed and keep making movies and theme park shit. They want to be Disney adults but with Mario and Pikachu. You can easily watch a Nintendo film in 2 hours and be satisfied. They can buy amiibos too and they dint even have to open them. A game free console is their platonic ideal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5792478&forum_id=2#49395230) |

Date: November 2nd, 2025 12:11 PM Author: curious hot stain round eye If you could measure their actual brain wave responses at the release of a new 3D Mario they’d probably show feelings of dread.

Date: November 2nd, 2025 12:01 PM Author: curious hot stain round eye Btw did you see the one acting like Hyrule Warriors is a major release?
Yeah_IGoon • 15h ago I mean to be fair this isn’t the 90s they can’t dump the mag on every big release. That said we have like 3 major games (legends of zelda,Metroid, and Kirby) that are gonna be exclusive this year. Thats not really that bad considering that covers almost every major ip.
cowgod180 OP • 14h ago Hyrule warriors isn’t major imo
driley97 • 55m ago If it wasn’t a major title, why is it getting a third entry. I get that it may not be a title for you, but if there was no audience for it they wouldn’t be making a third entry.

Seems like not understanding is a you problem. Maybe play a real video game for once and and let the adults talk while you're learning to enjoy our media. Or stick with the kid stuff your call.

Date: November 2nd, 2025 8:29 PM Author: curious hot stain round eye Longjumping_Sea_8119 • 53m ago No. You’re just busy trying to hate on something for whatever reason. Don’t want a switch 2? Don’t buy one. The biggest issue with this subreddit is that so many people seem to care what other people spend their money on enough to bitch about it every day.
cowgod180 OP • 51m ago Console Wars have consequences though. If people let Nintendo off easy, Gaming will suffer.
Longjumping_Sea_8119 • 20m ago I’m not saying don’t criticize them for certain practices. I’m saying that when you have a post like this that’s not based in fact but in feelings that it isn’t helpful.
Objectively the switch 2 with backwards compatibility and many first and 3rd party titles since launch is pretty much right where the switch was at launch if not even positioned a little better.
Sure we can criticize not a full Zelda and the cost of an upgrade but really. Can you honestly tell me that breath of the wild isn’t worth 70 bucks if you didn’t own it?
You’ll get 100 plus hours out of it easy.
So it’s objectively worth the money.
Maybe some things aren’t great and I would agree they aren’t perfect and we should criticize real stuff and certainly some business practices but let’s not kid ourselves.
The switch 2 first 6 months is a good launch window.
cowgod180 OP • 1m ago We aren’t getting Zelda until 2031. This is another Wii U in terms of software. BOTW released after the Wii U had been on the market for 5 years. We aren’t getting Games. Nintendo released a console with No Games. |
|
Date: November 2nd, 2025 11:21 PM Author: curious hot stain round eye Longjumping_Sea_8119 • 1h ago That’s objectively false.
Mario Kart. Kirby. Super Mario Party Jamboree. Donkey Kong Pokémon.
That’s what’s been released so far as first party games.
Nintendo is releasing one a month at a minimum.
Now whether or not you like the games is irrelevant. To say they don’t have games is just not accurate.
Plus they have 3rd party support they did not have during the Wii U days.
That plus the sales of the console will create more support from devs.
We have madden for the first time on a Nintendo console in over 12 years ago. Plus a current FIFA or FC. Without it being the previous tech.
Apex was fully updated and is a great version, plus WWE 2K that works and I don’t even play most of these
These are just off the top of my head.
So come on dude. To say there’s “no games” is just inaccurate.
cowgod180 OP • 1m ago Mario Kart is worse than Mario Kart 8 according to everyone
2 of the games you listed are Switch 1 games. You listed 3 Switch 2 games that aren’t on Switch 1.
N64 had, in the same span of time:
Super Mario 64
Pilotwings 64
Wave Race 64
Wonder Project J2
International Superstar Soccer 64
Shadows of the Empire
Mario Kart 64 (JP release)
Killer Instinct Gold
And it was said to have No Games. What does that say about Switch 2? |
