there's quite a lot for Nintendo on the channels I watch at leastVideo game commercials on cable TV are so rare nowdays, sometimes you see one of a big flagship title like Assassins Creed or Halo and then there's times there's a bunch of ads for a browser city building game.
I miss the 90s and early 00s internet. So many small communities here and there, so many obscure websites. Now most people visit 2 or 3 gigantic sites where they have everything conveniently filtered by a big corporation and that's it.You didn't even post the good stuff.
Back then before the internet was big and we didn't have all of this social media, you could do the fun little jabs.
These days? Hell no. There's already way too much toxicity and attacking each other.
Is it fair to judge games for their budget or not being AAA?As much as I liked Yooka Laylee Impossible Lair, it really isn't the same getting these games from just indie devs. The effects of the lower budget can really be felt and most of them are usually 2D pixel art or 2D Metroidvanias. It isn't the same thing as having multiple trilogies of AAA 3D platformers on one console.
Everyone made fun of the Kevin Butler commercials back in the day so I'm surprised we've gone full 180 on them.
Seems you care more about marketing than games if you thinkg modern Nintendo is "sterile". Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Astral Chain, new Fire Emblem etc lack personality? Wut.
I'm glad it's dead. I hated it even more when they focused on it at e3I always hated these smug commercials. They do nothing but breed more toxic garbage.
It makes me feel old saying that but I really feel like things were more fun back then.

While true in terms of production values, if we're being real the best of the current indie games are definitely just better better games overall than the 90s/00s mascot platoformer stuff.
Yeah, this was my takeaway too. I prefer focusing on the quality of product over corporations focusing on developing 'personalities.'"Everything feels so sterile and corporate"
Friend, you just posted a bunch of advertisements.
Eh, the Crash games for example are colorful and pretty solid games, but there's definitely tons of much tighter platformers.
If you want juvenile bullshit then stay tuned to this forum.....shit is about to get real with PlayStation and Xbox having big blowouts in the next month or so......I could do without the compnies themselves engaging in it though,lol.
