The reason there was no Mother 4 is because the story is done, concluded, finished. Itoi intentionally ended it with Porky in the Absolutely Safe Capsule so he would be as good as defeated. Impossible to bring back. He wanted it to be a full conclusion. He said in an interview that he would love to play fans' contributions if they decide to fill in the Mother series gap themselves. Sticking to his word, he has played Undertale.
Kirby is intended to be completed 100%, the main story is short but it has a large post game world, hundreds of waddle Dee's, the true arena, several mini games and more
I dont know if Elijah or a commenter mentioned this, but tomodachi life had honest to god potential, it couldve had customization galore and mii creativity including the makeup and hair from miitopia. I think i can agree with that. I know its a common trope, but it's honestly put off for so long its that way
I absolutely adore ARMS! It has so much stylistic charm. The lively music, the artwork, the creative premise, the diverse cast of characters, the lore, etc. They have a solid framework here with so much potential. It would be a huge waste not to make a sequel that fixes the issues people had with the first. Add more content and give players more reason to want to play it. Make it happen, Nintendo!
The issue isn’t it’s quality, it’s actually one of the best games on switch while you can play it. The issue is that there’s nothing to do. You can play single player for 5 hours tops, and 2 hours multiplayer each time you have friends over or play with family
The game itself is quite fun, but if there's one thing it needs, it's a hook. Replay value, something more to do and something more engaging. It may be fun, but it's admittedly bare bones. I really want to see another ARMS game, I would kill for it, but if that were the case, it needs something to do.
I remember Nintendo announcing that New Horizons would have a different pace than previous ones so you would take over a year to finish it. We all thought that was great until we realized there was no progress to be done in the first place... The store only upgrades once. Once!! That's insane. I remember everyone asking, "what's the bell threshold to get another upgrade?" Or, "how many times do I need to buy something from Kicks or Label before they open a store in my town?" Only to find out that was never gonna happen :(
They didn’t remove the “So long Gay Bowser!” They used a different version of the game that originally released in Japan called the Shindo version that released in 1997 Also they did add back the analog trigger controls to Mario Sunshine
Hear me out, Animal Crossing is like THE perfect launch title. It gets people into a routine involving the brand new console. It’s actually surprising that Nintendo hasn’t used this to their advantage yet
"Splatoon 3 still gets post-release support" ...duh? it's a multiplayer shooter game that has realtime online multiplayer events as one of its biggest focal points. of course they've gotta update the game to put in data for splatfests, big runs, or even just bug fixes and weapon changes. i really don't think mentioning splatoon's update cycle really makes sense for this otherwise strong argument
not to mention the splatoon team is the same team that works on animal crossing - it's definitely fault on nintendo's part for not being able to allocate enough resoures for both series, but ultimately it's a lil off to compare the update cycle of splatoon to that of animal crossing, especially since splatoon quite literally has a confirmed end to the update cycle that was announced literally before its launch - it's one year from now
that's a personal opinion with no backing. i assume by this you mean the core gameplay, but i think that's ridiculous. the core gameplay is one of the best things about splatoon as a series. the updates and the maps are very lacking, though . i still don't think splatoon's support is enough, the updates feel haphazard and rushed @@FastbenSupremoo
Animal crossing fans are crazy. This isn’t a live service game. AC is a franchise that only gets one game per console. I like AC but I had my fill with it after the first year. I can wait for the next one on the new console.
@@bytewizerd2712 the post launch was fine I was satisfied with the game in general but a lot of people complained and still do. People want animal crossing to be a game something it’s not.
@neoPeake no it's not about that, it's the fact that new horizons has way less content than the older games, and nintendo said it would get lots of updates, not that they would just stop updating it after a year, and animal crossing pocket camp gets WAY more content than new horizons, animal crossing fans have a reason to be upset, nintendo did not put animal crossing new horizons to it's true potential
You know, this man accidentally proved his own point about forgetting about neglected franchises being forgotten by forgetting to mention Wario land even despite Pizza Tower release and take over of the internet.
I feel like the expectation of having constant updates in modern games is a bit crazy. No Animal Crossing prior to New Horizons had that, so im honestly not surprised NH doesnt have it either. Unless people want a mobilefication of their games (which is what Pocket Camp is for), or even a fortnitefication with seasons and battle passes and battle royales (kinda like Splatoon 3, which you did mention in the video). Which is, just. Silly to think something like that would apply to Animal Crossing. I know NH is a bit disappointing in regards to the Animal Crossing formula, at least i see it that way, but the thought of it having constant updates was just never something that really crossed my mind. Animal Crossing games are supposed to be ready to be fully played since day one releases. Which is why I can see why NH's treatment is so disappointing to people. Idk. I dont really feel like there's much to panic here. New Leaf also only had one update, which was the Welcome Amiibo in 2016, and it was huuuuuuge. And its why i still play it to this day lmao. I know it'd be awesome to have something like that for NH, but at this point i feel like its just unrealistic. To Nintendo, Animal Crossing is supposed to be a one and done kinda deal. They updated it in 2021 because it wasnt the full game experience (which admitedly sucks). I feel like thats it, you know. Now, just to add one correction. The 3D All Stars version of Super Mario 64 wasn't updated after 25 years just to remove the "so long gay bowser" line, like you said in the video. They used the Shindou version of the game for 3D All Stars, which is the updated version of SM64 that Japan got in like 1997 or something like that. Which is the version that, alongside with changing the line, removes a few glitches like the BLJs. It wasnt something they did just for the sake of it, they just used the newest updated version of the game that they already had. As far as neglected series goes, I feel like the Rhythm Heaven series would be a great contender also. Last time we had a game was in 2015 for the 3DS, and it was just a mega collection of all the other games. Which unfortunately seems like a great way to end a series now that I think about it. Idk. Rhythm Heaven is such an unique spin on the rhythm games genre that i just hope it doesnt end like this. Rhythm Heaven Fever for the Wii is still greatly played today, you know. It's sad to let it die just like that. I feel like Wario's 2D games (the Wario Land series) could be discussed too. And, of course, Tomodachi Life. Also, just another opinion which probably isnt that great. Not all games need to become huge franchises that get games yearly like Pokemon. And i know thats a bit crazy to say in today's world but i feel like. Idk. Franchises like Earthbound told their story. The story is complete, you know. If im not mistaken the creator himself said something along those lines. I think its better to leave things than to create another Starfox situation where it keeps getting brought back in a half baked kind of way that the fans are never satisfied with because, well, who would ?? Its truly sad that Mother 3 never got an oficial translation/localization, but, to me, a new sequel is not the way to go about it. Of course the franchise's story needs to be told (and a new game keeps the story alive), I know that. Which is why I think Nintendo should indeed rerelease or even put it on Nintendo Switch Online. Anyway i feel like i talked too much. I love your channel btw, i hope you dont see this comment as inherently negative. I tried being polite while presenting my points.
This. I don't understand why people are complaining about ACNH stopping being updated, it's literally the way the franchise always worked since 20 years, especially considering that ACNH is already bigger than any other AC games now
@@ramhthewatermelon Yeah akdhsj. I kinda get it because I feel like ACNH has left people dissatisfied, even though it added way more than any other previous game. But it's something that could never be solved with an update like that. I feel like it's too unrealistic.
@@doorcruz Honestly I don't really understand why ACNH made people that disatisfied. Sure it was really lacking content when it first released but right now it's probably the best game of the franchise. Maybe the nostalgia for the older games make people more biased idk
@@ramhthewatermelon I mean I always see people complaining about how shallow the villagers' dialogue is, how they wished they had more to do with their friends like minigames (like New Leaf had with the island tours), etc. I generally always see people dissatisfied in that sense. Content-wise it's obvious NH is the best. But for some people maybe that's not everything. I have no nostalgia for the older games as I started playing Animal Crossing in 2022 for the first time ever (I played a little bit of every previous one throughout the months), and, to me, New Leaf is the best. I play it almost daily still, and sunked +400 hours on it.
@@doorcruz I'm kinda the opposite lol, I played every games in the franchise (some of them are part of my childhood) but I still think NH is the best one (even if I love other opus like CF or NL) I don't think the villagers in NH are that shallow tbh, the dialogues are less absurd and a bit repetitive (the repetitive part was also in NL for me) but they're still funny
calling 3d mario neglected is crazy, we're guaranteed to get a new one whenever theres a new console, sure we couldve had odyssey 2 like we had totk, but we usually only get 1 new 3d mario per console with the wii being the exception an offical release of mither 3 outside japan might end up being lesser that what we have with the fan translation considering they might have to censor some stuff that happens in the game I dont play AC but I wouldnt call it neglected, from what u said they could give it more consistent updates for at least 2 years like they do with splatoon
5:00 Pokémon is highest grossing because of the merch, not the games. The games are basically ads for the new products. Astonishing how people don't think about it
Nah, thats Chibi-Robo. Original game was released in 2005, before the Wii came out 2nd game was a Walmart exclusive and the 3rd game recieved poor reception.
@@Scribble2345 Bad news Chibi Robo's creator Kenichi Nishi left the company in 2009. So Skip can't make a great one without him. The good news is that he did create Moon Remix RPG Adventure.
I don’t think I would say animal crossing is ‘neglected’ I would say it’s just, finished. They are either, A: Getting an update after/with the new switch. Or B: Making a new game later on, (During or after the new switch) To be honest I think *some* of the animal crossing players are greedy. Edit: yall stop arguing 😭 (I also just fixed some minor mistakes and highlighted some things others didn’t see. :D
It is just funny, that ACNL has more to offer in the long run then ACNH has. NH misses so much stuff from NL and that just made me sad, if I knew that they would not add certain things (like I am still waiting for minigames to play with friends) and those boring dialoges that repeat way more often then in NL than I'd never bought NH in the first place... And then there are you calling ppl greedy, because they wanted at least the same amount of content for a better console then the 3DS. xD Yes there is the building stuff. but tbh, if I want to build, I just start Minecraft.
@@KarlaO711 I second your thoughts that while we got a new AC game, the lack of a majority of the best parts of NL was missing until later updates and some never showed up really got me upset. I still go back to play NL for this exact reason.
@@KarlaO711You play New Leaf if you want the New Leaf experience, New Horizon is for that specific experience, expecting NL experience in NH is just kinda weird ngl... It's fine tho if you don't like NH..
Correction: the line in Mario 64 when Mario swings Bowser around was first changed in the Shindoh version of Mario 64, of which the 3D All-Stars version is based off.
Not to mention that Charles Martinet confirmed a few years ago that the line wasn't "so long gay Bowser" in the first place (it was "so long King Bowser". I think the confusion mainly stemmed from the way that sounds in Mario's exaggerated Italian accent).
Neglected franchise? Animal crossing? Just because they stop posting and updating on a finished game, doesn't mean the franchise doesn't matter to them. They leave us hungry for content in order to make the next game another magnum opus. Nintendo doesn't care for the consumer. It's just a better marketing strategy.
I don’t know… I’m kind of fine with the idea of a game just being released completed and just having one or two updates if any. I don’t think NH needs any more content than it already has, it’s still hugely more content than any other game (except maybe Pocket Camp but that doesn’t count). I don’t see what’s wrong with NH the way it is, people are so greedy. Hopefully they’re putting resources into developing the next game.
I am still waiting on minigames to play with my friends. I miss them from ACNL... ACNL has so much more to offer in a long run. Yes you cant really redesign your town, but the villagers didnt feel like robots and after the update houses wont spawn on placed tiles, so you are now able to choose the location, were a house would place itself. ACNH is just boring in its own way, cutting out a lot of events, items, dialoges, places. The only thing I did not miss, was the weird songs from Captn
@@KarlaO711 I agree ACNL is still my favorite, but I don’t think any update to NH could fix our deep issues with it, like flat villagers. Mini games could be added sure, but that doesn’t interest me personally. Maybe unpopular opinion but I’ve never cared for multiplayer animal crossing
You pay for online but you get less things to do with your friends online than New Leaf. I wouldn't complain if it was for free or you can go do mini games locally. Cause you know Nintendo is behind with online and cloud services. Like I have never heard of a kart racing game having an issue with cloud saves on any other console or pc.
@@SolitareHeartz you pay for Nintendo online for MANY things, if you see my other comment I personally find AC multiplayer to be useless but that’s just me
27:56 No, Nintendo didn't delete this line only for 3D All-Stars: they used the "Shindou Pak" Edition released in Japan in 1997, so that the Joy-Cons can rumble. In this version, there isn't the famous line because, in Japan, Bowser is called Koopa. So it is only a coincidence.
I'm a big pokemon fan as well as an animal crossing fan. You know the situation is bad when ANIMAL CROSSING FANS are telling pokemon what they should do differently😂😂
As someone who has New Horizons, I’m gonna just keep playing new leaf. It’s the best we are ever going to get and if the devs will try to learn, they should use that game as an example
ACNH added so many cool things but also lost some things that made animal crossing... animal crossing 😔 I was really hoping the updates would add the features they were lacking but they just didn't
@@mmaaaaaxxx I agree wholly. The graphics were amazing and the sunsets were just chef’s kiss. But to see so much still lacking and things that could be changed just hurt me as a longtime fan. Like the more obvious points have been said but no one says a lot about the museum. The plaques for example should not have been a museum day giveaway and something else like hats or clothes or nonplaque furniture should have been given out. Getting 20 plaques loses its charm very quickly and those should have been things you earn for completing the museum sections
27:51 that’s not the reason. This port was based on the Shindo release in Japan. It featured rumble along with bug fixes. In that version he says “bye bye” in the original version he says “so long king bowser” and people on the internet popularized it as something else.
Ugh, don't get me started on that (the infamous line). Charles Martinet himself confirmed what the actual line was a couple years ago, and people STILL claim it's "so long gay Bowser".
Really hit the nail on the head. For AC: While the newest game had a lot of new features that added some great gameplay, the execution on some of these new features was really lacking or even took away from the goals of the original design, in addition to the game missing many major features of the previous games. IMO the extent at which you can decorate, combined with the grindy-ness of crafting is totally opposite from the original intent of the game to be a chill life simulator. It's devolved into a game where you grind nonstop for money and resources and spend 100s of hours trying to get the perfect design. At the same time, they neglected various aspects that play to the daily life sim aspect, such as dialogue, random events, and holidays. In order to get more back to its roots they really need to not necessarily dial back decorating as much as they just need to make it much much easier with tons of QOL features and dial back on grind to get items in the first place big time, all while greatly increasing the effort spent on the daily life aspect by improving dialogue and villager interactions, more story/friendship based progression with special characters, and much more holidays / events to spice up the game day over day and week over week. With this, the game would meet much more happily in the middle of being focused on both decorating and daily life rather than its current 95% decorating, 5% chill daily life sim. For Pokemon: It doesn't take a genius to tell the newer pokemon games have really been lacking. Sword and Shield in its final state with DLC honestly isn't too bad, but the main part that's wrong is the fact that with DLC it has about as much content as Ultra Sun/Moon, while being more than double the price ($40 vs $90), and not even being graphically better. SV however is just an absolute travesty. Nobody in their right mind can argue that performance and visual wise, the game is abhorrent. A large amount of the game would be considered lazy visually even by Gamecube standards. In addition to this, the game was made to be Open World, yet it lacks literally any thought being put into this major design change. Fans for generations have been thinking about how cool an open world pokemon _COULD_ be, as well as all the problems that could arise from being able to explore freely from the get-go, and solutions to those problems. Issues like being able to catch pokemon too powerful for the section of the game you're on, being able to train against strong pokemon to level too quickly, and gyms having to scale with your level all were blatantly ignored and the game's difficulty feels like a joke if you take advantage of the exploration, train a bit in some high level areas, and then beat the high level gyms first. Not only do the gyms / evil team members / giant pokemon not scale with your level, it doesn't even tell you what order is recommended to challenge them in, and if you beat the 3rd gym first it just feels like a waste of your time to go back and fight the 1st and 2nd gyms. For Mario Kart: I honestly never liked Mario Kart 8 from day one and was right away hoping the next one would ditch the anti grav and go back to normally designed tracks that have much more off-track areas to boost over for shortcuts instead of just guard rails as everything is technically in the sky. Very disappointed my least favorite MK game is the one that's stuck around the longest of any game in the franchise, with no new games (not counting home circuit and tour) since 2015. Between camera turn rate not feeling right at high CCs (makes memorization more necessary), bad item randomness (low places frequently get bad items, high places frequently get items that shouldn't even be possible like triple red shells in 1st or 2nd place), mushrooms in general feeling awful due to lack of boostable areas on courses / speed boost being pitiful on higher ccs / moving too fast being a disadvantage on the mostly curvy stages / all while being like half the items in the pool, and I personally would prefer if you could just play whatever character / cart you want and decide your stats (although that's been an issue of mine for quite a few games, not just this one).
The 3d all stars version of mario 64 is the Japan exclusive reissue of the game that added rumble, removed some glitches, and replaced "so long gay bowser". Nintendo didn't make the change just for the collection.
38:05 Ah as a fan of The World Ends With You, I know this pain all too well. I remember the IP was in danger of dying out and TWEWY fans were encouraged to buy TWEWY FR or risk the IP being dead forever and never getting a sequel. Nearly the exact same fate as Chibi Robo. We got NEO TWEWY (the sequel) but that then didn't sell well due to lack of advertizing so...that's it, TWEWY as an IP is dead
I think the problem with this is that when talking about animal crossing or Pokémon you’re talking from a place of superiority. These are top selling highly advertised, highly merchandised series. I think rather than “Nintendo neglect these series” a better thing to say is that Nintendo isn’t very good at maintaining its own properties. Less clickbait, I know but still something that’s not said often because Nintendo is still seen by most to be one of the better gaming companies. Nintendo favors some more than others in some aspects and develops more in others than some. Like you stated, Mario is their main guy but even he can’t get new games or good updates to some of his series. But to say that Mario fans are being neglected sounds ridiculous when every Nintendo direct has some mention of him. Similarly to say Animal Crossing is being neglected after a year and half of updates sounds ridiculous to fire emblem fans who get half a year of updates after launch at most. There are problems with how they handle their series across the board and I think it’s important to focus on that rather than who gets more love than who. Because that just makes communities that should be working together fight amongst themselves.
@@orangeslash1667exactly!because not only does it become monotonous but it also means there’s not many new things basically. But people like Ben are just sheep following the big company Shepard even when the company’s going down and not bothering with quality.
Why would there be another animal crossing already when there is currently one on the same console? And it'd be pretty disrespectful to continue doing things with the Mother series.
Couldn't agree more. We get one new main Animal Crossing game per system (except for the Wii U, and I'm not counting the Japanese exclusive update to the GC one). I don't know why people would expect that to suddenly change.
ARMS has massive potential and its a shame Nintendo abandoned it (yes thats me as an ARMS fan saying this) Edit: I forget to mention that us as the playerbase are forever grateful to have this series talked about. Yabuki (same director as the Mario Kart team did say that he wants to expand on the franchise. We even had a graphic novel by Dark Horse but was later canceled due to unknown reasons. People just kinda bash this game even though it didnt do anything. Sure, theres criticisms but theres also potential and people can see it. ARMS has a small, cult fanbase but we still love new people who join in too
I really liked this video, but I did have a bit of feedback. You say at 11:34 that some of these games get away with having a cool concept but don't really expand on it all too much for what it's worth price-wise, which is a VERY GOOD point, but then use examples that actively contradict your point, such as Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Captain Toad, and Woolly World. The point of these games are meant to be meticulously crafted dioramas for you to explore and find everything in - the reason why the main campaign is so short is because you mainly go through and get the main objectives to complete the story. And in the case of Kirby and Yoshi, the levels are so fun and creative themselves, that they actively make you want to go back and play through them again and again. So, all of these games DO have a LOT of replay value. You then specifically examine Kirby starting at 11:45, saying that they mainly use the child-friendly brand recognition to pump out games. And that is ABSOLUTELY not the case. There may be LOTS of Kirby games on the Switch, but they're all of very good quality, and I have bought and enjoyed all of them! Specifically, Forgotten Land (the one you use an example) is a complete revolution of the classic Kirby formula, creating a new 3D experience that melds classic and fresh gameplay really well in a VERY creative experience. It's no Breath of the Wild, but that's not what it's trying to be. And the reason why there are so many Kirby games in the first place is because they are mainly developed by HAL Laboratories, not Nintendo - the latter just publishes it. You use this at 10:45 to juxtapose against the lack of support for other games, which is fair point, but I feel you just use the wrong example. Hope you don't take this as being negative, just wanted to offer whatever feedback I can! Regardless, this was a well-made video!😄
Shigasato Itoi, (the man who created the MOTHER series, and owns the rights to them) has stated that he's not gonna make another MOTHER game before all 3 games went through development hell and he doesn't want to keep doing that.
When Nintendo repackaged features that were just in the other games as if they were something new, yeah, of course peole would complain. Like New Horizons was not a finished. Heck it was bearly game at launch. I am not a fan of the ROAD MAP type of update. Like different bugs and fish for the changing season. Holidays and events. Yeah, always been there in the game in some way. Imagine if they did that type of thing to Zelda or a Mario game. Road map to adding levels/dungeons, power ups and items to the game. People would revolute! By the time they added things to make it a full game of Animal Crossing. People were burned out and bored. I thought the newer games usually add or at least try to maintain the standard of the pervious. But you think simce it is Nintendo why to have to wait so long to have a completed game? Didn't Shigeru Miyamoto once say "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."
Most ACNH fans came from games like Sims where it’s kept alive for years with new stuff. Nintendo never really did that before. I’m sure they would’ve preferred to just make a new game altogether.
8:55 Generally it's one Mario Kart per system. 8 was great, it's main problem was being stuck on Wii U. Yes it's a port, but with all the DLC i'd say it's new enough
Basing this comment/explanation solely off the thumbnail, the title feels either misleading or using the term "neglect" in an incorrect or biased manner. Animal Crossing isn't being neglected, it's just finished receiving main support. Mario Kart isn't being neglected; 8 is a fantastic, extremely well selling game that's literally receiving its last wave in the current DLC pack and has even started receiving character/vehicle balance patches that shows a lot of care is being given to the game even over a decade after its original Wii U release. The only one in the thumbnail fitting of actually being neglected is Pokemon because TPCI is forcing Game Freak's hand to release games with unreasonable time constraints plus Game Freak seemingly refusing to increase the size of their miniscule staff to better handle said time constraints, resulting in unfinished games being forced out for merchandising and multimedia release purposes and because they know we'll still consume their product regardless of how poorly handled it is. All that aside, while I'd disagree that New Horizons was neglected, I can and will agree with anyone who says that the game is underwhelming, especially when comparing New Horizons vs. New Leaf. But I would also agree with anyone who says the game is great, because I personally believe the game is both fantastic for what it is and aimed to be, but also a little underwhelming in that it could've done just a bit more, even if only some more quality of life improvements to finalize the product post-release. Or, like... give us actual villagers instead of a bunch of collectable wind up dolls with only 10 different wacky and incredible™ catchphrases. I hope this comment doesn't come off as rude or aggressive... Now to watch and enjoy this video regardless because Rocket makes rad content 🙏
I don’t understand exactly how New Horizons is “underwhelming” or “lacking” when it’s meant to be very different than the rest of the series. You’re on a deserted island that you grow and grow over time. Simple as that! Straight to the point!
Animal Crossing stopped receiving support because they needed the developers to finish up Splatoon 3, the two series share the same Nintendo EPD group.
Some of these feel extremely nitpicky. I mean, Mario, Kirby, and Animal Crossing of all things... If that's what neglect looks like then sign me up. We've got franchises like F-Zero, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country, Punch Out, and Kid Icarus which haven't gotten "new" games in forever but I feel your point gets diluted when you conflates these series with ones like the aforementioned.
us tomodachi fans still have to play on the 3ds Nintendo did not even just port it to Nintendo switch and tomdachi life made them a ton of money so where's tomodachi life 2?
Honestly, I don't see in how far a new Mario Kart could improve the status quo right now. Currently, graphics and gameplay is fine. Releasing a new game just for new levels would be strange, it just made more sense to put it in a DLC. Maybe in the future you could drastically improve graphics - but that could be an update to Mario Kart 8, too. There is no reason to start from scratch. Besides, it's good for us, isn't it? We don't have to buy an expensive base game again.
I think the pokemon rant is well meaning and I even agree with points, but the development team on SV was larger than BotW. Nearly 500 people worked on that game for 3 years, it absolutely wasn't a small production. The issue isn't the resources, its the team and likely the people financing these projects pushing for larger and larger scope from a team that just last gen, in 2013, made their first 3d game ever. The brand size, the market expectations and the team inexperience with tight time tables are really the wider issue. So yeah, again, not to discredit your points, it just feels like an outsider's take on a pretty much widely held belief without actually digging into the actual subtle issue at GF and with the pokemon brand.
Also ILCA has done plenty of game development, to say they never made a game before makes it seem like they aren't experienced. They released a One Piece JRPG this year that had been in production for 6 years as well. They aren't publishing their own works but they've been doing game development for a long while.
7:11 Bdsp is misunderstood it may not have had platinum content but it did add it’s own new stuff like expanded underground, updated qol, modern type chart, modern movepool, ramanas park etc and it’s got wholesome and cute quirky vibes
I feel like the problem with Pokemon is that theyve slowly been forced into this 3 year timeframe to make a game and now that everyone expects it they have no option but to co-operate unless they want to loose fans and money, they can keep their team small if they want as long as they have the time to facilitate that, especially with the rapid evolution of gaming and the technology associated with it Pokemon just needs to have more time instead of being forced out in three years only to IMMIDEATLEY start working on the next game to keep up with the rat race
The only thing about Animal crossing I would say ( and this is coming from an animal crossing fan) but as “big” as it is. It’s still a niche tittle. The only reason it sold that much is because of the pandemic and many people used that to play online and connect with friends. Since you couldn’t go out during most of the pandemic. It dropped off quickly and I myself haven’t even played it yet tbh. I’m probably going to get it for Christmas this year but we will see. Also wanting to get TOTK as well. But yes I agree I think animal crossing should maybe do what the sims do with expansions and DLCs but I also know EA gets torn apart for what they charge and offer
THATS WHAT IM SAYING!! Also splatfest already happen so it’s super easy to make them themed to a new game when animal crossing would need totally new items and etc 😭
i played ACNH, and it seems like its already everything it needs to be. Given how its played, with events that are based in real time which you play once and would only touch again in a year, having consistent updates just seem not in best interest andbest hold off for a sequel
Hopefully, there's a mention of the Endless Ocean series from the Wii era; I loved playing those two games back in the day, but they hadn't released another game since 2009.
Mario Galaxy isn’t a series it’s just a set of games in a bigger franchise. They aren’t neglecting it they just aren’t making anymore games for it and have moved on since.
27:48 the line wasn't changed because of a misconception, the reason the line is different in the 3D All Stars version is because that version of SM64 is a Japanese version of the game that was originally developped to add rumble support back on the N64, and since Bowser in Japan is called King Koopa, they decided to change the line where Mario says "So long gay Bowser" to just "Bye bye" to avoid confusion
If you think Nintendo games are too short you haven’t played enough games. Not just not enough Nintendo games, not enough games. Nintendo games have less story, more fleshing out. Nobody hates Nintendo more than Nintendo fans, as they cry and sob not looking at the competition, who are far worse.
Nintendo treats animal crossing how they should be treating pokemon. Give pokemon more time to marinate and let animal crossing release a little more content
I will forever rant about Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's performance issues *until Game Freak decides to do an update that includes fixing them and allowing us to remove battle animations* LIKE PLEASE 🙏🤬 these games are almost 1 year old 😭
The sad thing. I dont think they will ever change it. They are probably like, yeah dont know how to fix it, dont care either, we try next time with the new gen. They arent very good with programming stuff, we saw that with X and especially with Sun and Moon (reminder Lilly was copy pasted in every cut-scene she was in, instead of leading a path to a main sorce to cut down on resources - thats why a lot of lags happend there) It seems they are still not used to make 3D games.
Even if you get rid of the battle animations , then Pokémon won’t be as Pokémon anymore. But there will come a day where you will grow bored of ranting for so long , but Game Freak won’t listen to jus one person who’s been going on a forever rant. It is their mistake for being lazy and for being sloppy , but they were being rushed and nobody doesn’t likes to be rushed right. So please ease up on blaming them for their mistakes. But how would you liked it like if someone blamed you for your mistakes for so much ??? If you don’t like that then think about how they feel , like when someone blames them for their mistakes. If you don’t like that at all , then you shouldn’t be quick to blaming them for their mistakes. If you don’t want to be blamed for your mistakes , then you shouldn’t be blaming them for their mistakes.
@@Designer239 It is literally no excuse for beeing the Number 1 franchise of the whole world and pushing out a game in a state like that. Sorry... If you are beeing pushed, then try to find ppl that work for you that actually know how to program a game... Because since they went 3d it went downhill, so they are not comfortable with that at all. If they did the Zelda route and let 1k ppl program 1 Pokémon, with walking animations etc, another 1k ppl for the rest oft the game and a team that coordinates the stuff, then we could have had a good game with the time the franchise gives them. But just saying yes I buy and amen without even complaining, even if it is the worst quality should not be the way. I will not go on with Nintendo, just because of Pokémon. Not worth my money. And sooner or later others will do the same. Because you can make a fandom really fed up, even if your game is well known. I watched other games crumble the same way.
Nintendo has so many good games that they could re-release or give another sequel, but they choose to forget about them. For me personally, I would love to see a Kid Icarus remake or a Banjo Kazooie remake. But I guess it'll never happen. And it's not just Nintendo either, Sony has some amazing classics that I would also like to see make a return, classics like Sly Cooper and the Ratchet & Clank PS2 games. But like Nintendo, Sony had also decided to neglect them. Another thing that stills bothers me is the Mario 3D All-Stars collection. Like they could had at least continue selling the game digitally on the Nintendo Eshop. But no, instead they wanted to sell it for a limited time. So I hope the some day, we get another Mario 3D collection with the addition of Super Mario Galaxy 2. Because it really didn't make any sense to me with how that game just got completely left out.
animal crossing and mario kart do make totally sense. animal crossing is popular for being a life simulation, theres not much space to do something entirely new that justifies a new ip. spin offs really are unsure to be successful, amiibo festival was horrible but maybe it made nintendo think that spinoffs wont do well. mario kart 8 deluxe sold so extremely well that a new ip wouldnt have the same potential, as the most families or anyone that plays mk8 for the local multiplayer already have a marrio kart for their console to play and wouldnt need a new game. i think we'll get a new mario kart on the switch 2 pretty fast.
Isn't Animal Crossing one of those games where you're supposed to play it religiously, for quite a while? Years of play accumulate to what your town becomes? Considering AC gets a mainline release semi-regular and they put in a LOT of work for it, I would never in a million years say they neglect the series.
The thing about Mario 3D All Stars Super Mario 64's "So long, Gay Bowser" line was removed because the game is based off the Shindou edition, and that version of the game features rumble support, and that version added the "Buh bye!" line that Mario says.
ARMS was great. It was refreshing to see something new even if it wasn’t executed the best. Nintendo was still new to ongoing updates and such but I think it’ll come back maybe on the next Switch.
You really don’t understand it, Animal Crossing is NOT neglected or not treated well, it’s just that it’s usually one game per console. The series is always omnipresent with merchandise and events.
15:40 who cares about graphics the story and writing and character interactions have a lot of charm and personality and that’s all you really need It’s not the graphics the game uses mocap which we aren’t used to for Pokémon
There is a lot of misunderstanding on how Nintendo EPD works here. If every game were the same scope as Breath of the Wild you would only see safest series as the Game too 800 people six years to develop. Also very few games are developed by either Nintendo or one of their subsidiaries(Retro, Monolith, Next Level, 1UP Studios). Some series were tried but kept getting less and less sales like F-Zero and don't have a producer pushing for new entries like Metroid or Pikmin. Sometime Nintendo doesn't have enough developers to develop everything and priority is placed on thing that series that sell or series that don't nessary sell but have the blessing of someone high up at Nintendo. Larger games often take 4-5 years to develop even when things do go smoothly. Kirby gets a lot of love because HAL owns 50% of the franchise and gets a significant amount of money from merchandise. HAL is almost always going to work on a Kirby game if it is being published by Nintendo, anything else is going to be small. Same thing to a lesser extant with Intelligent Systems and Fire Emblem; they want that big game to be the one they Co-own with Nintendo. Neither Intelligent Systems or HAL are owned by Nintendo The reason we stopped getting updates for Animal crossing was because most of the developers move on to Splatoon 3 as the Same development group works on both. There weren't many developers left to continue work on it. That is why we got Amiibo Festival instead on the Wii U, most of the developers were working on Splatoon. Pokemon's problem is the very short and ambitious time table where they have to hire freelancers to work on the game in short order. There just isn't time or development manpower to get a new Pokemon game out every three years, some of the problems were likely caused by too many cooks in the kitchen and management issues. The multi headed Hydra that is The Pokemon Company's profits demand game in order for there to be new Merchandise which is the primary driver of profit. Nintendo doesn't do much in the way of Pokemon game Development and primarily publishes and markets the games. The last game they Developed for Pokemon Was Pokemon Stadium 2. BDSP was likely rushed once Legends Arceus potentially Pivoted from originally being remake to a new experience. I should point out that Game Freak nor Creatures is own by Nintendo; Nintendo just owns a third of the Pokemon IP. A new Mario Kart on the switch was likely moved to the switch successor system as a launch title, Nintendo always tries to get a new Mario Kart early on in a systems life. We didn't get a new Kid Icarus because Sakurai was busy for a decade on Smash Bros and is now in semi retirement. The other thing was for Melee, Brawl, and 3DS/Wii U was the inclusion of one or two NES Representatives a few who were planed for Smash 64 even but got held off. Mother is another series that Nintendo doesn't fully own as the rights are Split between them and Itoi's company. Even if Itoi wanted to make a new game or remake he just doen't have the connections in Nintedo he used to now that Iwata passed away. However Itoi had said that he wasn't just done with Mother but Game Development entirely. Make sense as the smoothest development he had was a Fishing game, Every other game was hit with varying degrees of Develoment Hell. Earthbound/Mother 2 took 5 grueling years of development with HAL having to support APE/Creatures in order to finish; to put things in perspective Final Fantasy VI a more mechanically ambitious( and buggy) game took a little over a year. Mother 3 N64 was canned and Mother 3 GBA was cut down, suffers from some poor optimization and would require much more reprogramming in order for Nintendo to not get sued. Mother 3 if it had a western release wouldn't have come out until a year later at the earliest. Likely June or July in order to give some time between the Final Fantasy game Nintendo was publishing in the west and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Chibi Robo problem is the developer of the series went defunct in 2015 and the other developer is not assisting on Kirby titles.
Honestly, you might get a lot of flack for this video, but you are speaking nothing but facts. Nintendo, I feel, has fallen into this rut (not the right word but I digress) where they are relying HEAVILY on being a household name and brand loyalty. Not to mention, all the new games that have come out, although experimental (BOTW, Odyssey, Forgotten Land, etc) are very *safe* options for Nintendo to release. Idk why they would go for safe, especially being an established brand, but that is what's happening. I know this is a AC channel, but I think Pokemon is the biggest example of putting effort into a franchise being almost nothing. IMO, as an avid SwSh defender, No. 1 Arceus stan, and Pokemon Snap enjoyer, Pokemon hasn't been the same since its full transition into 3D. I think the best step its taken on the Switch was Arceus, and imo, Arceus is better than SV any day of the week. But, to bring the point back, I want to know what's going on behind the scenes for the reason that everything has become so "but it now and hope we support it later". Look at Mario Strikers, that game, that EVERYONE was so hyped for was basically left out with no support from Nintendo. It got one, maybe two, updates? But then nothing. And, to come back to Animal Crossing. I know another youtuber made a video recently about how the AC community is "spoiled and entitled" but I couldn't fully agree to the points they were making. I don't think its bad or unreasonable to expect more from the second best selling game on the Nintendo switch. Like, NH was supposed to be an upgrade from New Leaf, and while on paper it mostly is, theres SOOO much cut content that makes it feel like it both is and isn't. I, again, don't think its unreasonable to ask for performance issues to be fixed, to ask for more of the old furniture sets to be brought back, or to ask for an upgrade to the Nook Shop. I don't think the game is "finished", I think Nintendo was pushing yhe dev team to hurry up on the Splatoon hype and release 3 when Splat 2 was only realased a short time before. Idk man, its a fickle time to be a Nintendo fan
Side Note about ARMS: I absolutely LOVE the idea of ARMS!! The characters, the lore, the OST, EVERYTHING. However, I think ARMS would have profited more if it releases on the Wii and utilized those motion controls (like Punch Out did) on that system. However, if ARMS ever does come back, I think taking the approach of a traditional fighting game would be super beneficial. By that I mean the game play would be the same, but the story mode would be you choose your character and go through their story, choose dialogue options and then fight other characters until you reach the end with the boss for that character. Then, once you complete all the characters storylines, you unlock the "true ending" and then you're done. Tl;Dr a story mode. Because ARMS is cool
0:50 I see two remakes and a download title that was part of a full game. Kirby is also Nintendo's experimental IP, since generally anything makes sense for him
I hope they just give us a new Animal Crossing game in a few years. Cause New Horizons is just a huge heartache. Y'all imagine the Big 3 were treated this way. Zelda, Mario and Pokémon were treated like Animal Crossing. Like the pandemic and being a long time since we had a mainline game are the only things saving NH from criticism. Like Miyamoto delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad" New Horizons for me is that game that was "rushed" out and Nintendo is now milking dry until they sell Switch 2 or whatever. Updates and quality of life stuff would be appreciated, but the hurt is already there. There is nobody on Earth that can convince me that Animal Crossing New Horizons was a full Animal Crossing game at launch. All the "free updates" were them just patching the rest of the game. So they were just trying to get the game done. I think people would be more understanding if Nintendo communicated clearly like what they did with Metroid. There is an issue we delay the game. Due to the issues of the state if the world we are unable to finish the game and will give free updates until we can get it done.
15:50 The graphics for detective pikachu aren’t bad it’s have always looked like that it’s an intentional artistic choice it’s part of the charm the previous game looked like that too It’s part of the charm to make the characters more expressive You are too focused on the superficiality of the graphics to appreciate the personality of the game itself
I'd like to point out that the development team for Animal Crossing is the same team for Splatoon, so they had to shift gears and stop supporting ACNH in order to support Splatoon 3, which gets updated frequently for two years. Perhaps once support for Splatoon 3 ends in September, they will focus on another Animal Crossing game, but right now, they gotta focus on Splatoon.
Bad news Chibi Robo's creator Kenichi Nishi left the company in 2009. So Skip can't make a great one without him. The good news is that he did create Moon Remix RPG Adventure.
I'm still so angry about Animal Crossing!!! It was my first dive into the game, and they abandoned it SSSSOOOO quickly! It was so lackluster I abandoned it right before Halloween 2020!
I mean if you count 3D world Nintendo puts out a 3D mario every generation I wouldn’t want or expect more it makes it an event and why they’re so memorable.
Yeah we definitely do need a newer AC Game. But the multiplayer part of ACNH really does stinks , but i do know of a newer way for the multiplayer part of that game to be way better. But also to change more things about that game of ACNH. But ACNH really should be in a whole newer way , like for the whole entire game of it. Like being able to interact to absolutely everything and really to work for a living. But the friend codes are there for us to be connected to each other. But if we don’t wanna be connected to each other at all , then there should be a spot for those people. So that way they don’t have to be connected to everyone. But whoever wants to be connected to everybody , then the game itself should have a away , to get all of us to be connected to all of us. But the game should really should be more opened to learning from us all. But i do have a lot more of newer ideas.
The reason there was no Mother 4 is because the story is done, concluded, finished. Itoi intentionally ended it with Porky in the Absolutely Safe Capsule so he would be as good as defeated. Impossible to bring back. He wanted it to be a full conclusion. He said in an interview that he would love to play fans' contributions if they decide to fill in the Mother series gap themselves. Sticking to his word, he has played Undertale.

Kirby is intended to be completed 100%, the main story is short but it has a large post game world, hundreds of waddle Dee's, the true arena, several mini games and more
I dont know if Elijah or a commenter mentioned this, but tomodachi life had honest to god potential, it couldve had customization galore and mii creativity including the makeup and hair from miitopia. I think i can agree with that.
I know its a common trope, but it's honestly put off for so long its that way
I absolutely adore ARMS! It has so much stylistic charm. The lively music, the artwork, the creative premise, the diverse cast of characters, the lore, etc. They have a solid framework here with so much potential. It would be a huge waste not to make a sequel that fixes the issues people had with the first. Add more content and give players more reason to want to play it. Make it happen, Nintendo!
The issue isn’t it’s quality, it’s actually one of the best games on switch while you can play it. The issue is that there’s nothing to do. You can play single player for 5 hours tops, and 2 hours multiplayer each time you have friends over or play with family
The game itself is quite fun, but if there's one thing it needs, it's a hook. Replay value, something more to do and something more engaging. It may be fun, but it's admittedly bare bones. I really want to see another ARMS game, I would kill for it, but if that were the case, it needs something to do.
I remember Nintendo announcing that New Horizons would have a different pace than previous ones so you would take over a year to finish it. We all thought that was great until we realized there was no progress to be done in the first place... The store only upgrades once. Once!! That's insane. I remember everyone asking, "what's the bell threshold to get another upgrade?" Or, "how many times do I need to buy something from Kicks or Label before they open a store in my town?" Only to find out that was never gonna happen :(
They didn’t remove the “So long Gay Bowser!” They used a different version of the game that originally released in Japan called the Shindo version that released in 1997
Also they did add back the analog trigger controls to Mario Sunshine
Hear me out, Animal Crossing is like THE perfect launch title. It gets people into a routine involving the brand new console. It’s actually surprising that Nintendo hasn’t used this to their advantage yet
"Splatoon 3 still gets post-release support" ...duh? it's a multiplayer shooter game that has realtime online multiplayer events as one of its biggest focal points. of course they've gotta update the game to put in data for splatfests, big runs, or even just bug fixes and weapon changes. i really don't think mentioning splatoon's update cycle really makes sense for this otherwise strong argument
not to mention the splatoon team is the same team that works on animal crossing - it's definitely fault on nintendo's part for not being able to allocate enough resoures for both series, but ultimately it's a lil off to compare the update cycle of splatoon to that of animal crossing, especially since splatoon quite literally has a confirmed end to the update cycle that was announced literally before its launch - it's one year from now
Splatoon is crap tho
that's a personal opinion with no backing. i assume by this you mean the core gameplay, but i think that's ridiculous. the core gameplay is one of the best things about splatoon as a series. the updates and the maps are very lacking, though . i still don't think splatoon's support is enough, the updates feel haphazard and rushed @@FastbenSupremoo
Animal crossing fans are crazy. This isn’t a live service game. AC is a franchise that only gets one game per console. I like AC but I had my fill with it after the first year. I can wait for the next one on the new console.
I haven’t played it but I remember it having good and lengthy post-launch support too. How could you possibly want more
@@bytewizerd2712 the post launch was fine I was satisfied with the game in general but a lot of people complained and still do. People want animal crossing to be a game something it’s not.
@neoPeake no it's not about that, it's the fact that new horizons has way less content than the older games, and nintendo said it would get lots of updates, not that they would just stop updating it after a year, and animal crossing pocket camp gets WAY more content than new horizons, animal crossing fans have a reason to be upset, nintendo did not put animal crossing new horizons to it's true potential
So many people I know say they didn't like the new AC but almost always still played more than 100 hours.
@@zmitty6089exactly!! the game wasn't done. that's the whole problem.
I didn't know Super Mario was neglected by Nintendo
You know, this man accidentally proved his own point about forgetting about neglected franchises being forgotten by forgetting to mention Wario land even despite Pizza Tower release and take over of the internet.
and sushi strikers
I feel like the expectation of having constant updates in modern games is a bit crazy. No Animal Crossing prior to New Horizons had that, so im honestly not surprised NH doesnt have it either. Unless people want a mobilefication of their games (which is what Pocket Camp is for), or even a fortnitefication with seasons and battle passes and battle royales (kinda like Splatoon 3, which you did mention in the video). Which is, just. Silly to think something like that would apply to Animal Crossing. I know NH is a bit disappointing in regards to the Animal Crossing formula, at least i see it that way, but the thought of it having constant updates was just never something that really crossed my mind. Animal Crossing games are supposed to be ready to be fully played since day one releases. Which is why I can see why NH's treatment is so disappointing to people. Idk. I dont really feel like there's much to panic here. New Leaf also only had one update, which was the Welcome Amiibo in 2016, and it was huuuuuuge. And its why i still play it to this day lmao. I know it'd be awesome to have something like that for NH, but at this point i feel like its just unrealistic. To Nintendo, Animal Crossing is supposed to be a one and done kinda deal. They updated it in 2021 because it wasnt the full game experience (which admitedly sucks). I feel like thats it, you know.
Now, just to add one correction. The 3D All Stars version of Super Mario 64 wasn't updated after 25 years just to remove the "so long gay bowser" line, like you said in the video. They used the Shindou version of the game for 3D All Stars, which is the updated version of SM64 that Japan got in like 1997 or something like that. Which is the version that, alongside with changing the line, removes a few glitches like the BLJs. It wasnt something they did just for the sake of it, they just used the newest updated version of the game that they already had.
As far as neglected series goes, I feel like the Rhythm Heaven series would be a great contender also. Last time we had a game was in 2015 for the 3DS, and it was just a mega collection of all the other games. Which unfortunately seems like a great way to end a series now that I think about it. Idk. Rhythm Heaven is such an unique spin on the rhythm games genre that i just hope it doesnt end like this. Rhythm Heaven Fever for the Wii is still greatly played today, you know. It's sad to let it die just like that. I feel like Wario's 2D games (the Wario Land series) could be discussed too. And, of course, Tomodachi Life.
Also, just another opinion which probably isnt that great. Not all games need to become huge franchises that get games yearly like Pokemon. And i know thats a bit crazy to say in today's world but i feel like. Idk. Franchises like Earthbound told their story. The story is complete, you know. If im not mistaken the creator himself said something along those lines. I think its better to leave things than to create another Starfox situation where it keeps getting brought back in a half baked kind of way that the fans are never satisfied with because, well, who would ?? Its truly sad that Mother 3 never got an oficial translation/localization, but, to me, a new sequel is not the way to go about it. Of course the franchise's story needs to be told (and a new game keeps the story alive), I know that. Which is why I think Nintendo should indeed rerelease or even put it on Nintendo Switch Online.
Anyway i feel like i talked too much. I love your channel btw, i hope you dont see this comment as inherently negative. I tried being polite while presenting my points.
This. I don't understand why people are complaining about ACNH stopping being updated, it's literally the way the franchise always worked since 20 years, especially considering that ACNH is already bigger than any other AC games now
@@ramhthewatermelon Yeah akdhsj. I kinda get it because I feel like ACNH has left people dissatisfied, even though it added way more than any other previous game. But it's something that could never be solved with an update like that. I feel like it's too unrealistic.
@@doorcruz Honestly I don't really understand why ACNH made people that disatisfied. Sure it was really lacking content when it first released but right now it's probably the best game of the franchise. Maybe the nostalgia for the older games make people more biased idk
@@ramhthewatermelon I mean I always see people complaining about how shallow the villagers' dialogue is, how they wished they had more to do with their friends like minigames (like New Leaf had with the island tours), etc. I generally always see people dissatisfied in that sense. Content-wise it's obvious NH is the best. But for some people maybe that's not everything. I have no nostalgia for the older games as I started playing Animal Crossing in 2022 for the first time ever (I played a little bit of every previous one throughout the months), and, to me, New Leaf is the best. I play it almost daily still, and sunked +400 hours on it.
@@doorcruz I'm kinda the opposite lol, I played every games in the franchise (some of them are part of my childhood) but I still think NH is the best one (even if I love other opus like CF or NL)
I don't think the villagers in NH are that shallow tbh, the dialogues are less absurd and a bit repetitive (the repetitive part was also in NL for me) but they're still funny
calling 3d mario neglected is crazy, we're guaranteed to get a new one whenever theres a new console, sure we couldve had odyssey 2 like we had totk, but we usually only get 1 new 3d mario per console with the wii being the exception
an offical release of mither 3 outside japan might end up being lesser that what we have with the fan translation considering they might have to censor some stuff that happens in the game

A: Getting an update after/with the new switch.

B: Making a new game later on, (During or after the new switch)

Correction: the line in Mario 64 when Mario swings Bowser around was first changed in the Shindoh version of Mario 64, of which the 3D All-Stars version is based off.
Shindoh is also rumble in Japanese
yeah this bugged me, this info is very readily available
Google is hard when it's easier to just complain on UA-cam.
Not to mention that Charles Martinet confirmed a few years ago that the line wasn't "so long gay Bowser" in the first place (it was "so long King Bowser". I think the confusion mainly stemmed from the way that sounds in Mario's exaggerated Italian accent).
Neglected franchise? Animal crossing? Just because they stop posting and updating on a finished game, doesn't mean the franchise doesn't matter to them. They leave us hungry for content in order to make the next game another magnum opus. Nintendo doesn't care for the consumer. It's just a better marketing strategy.
yep, it's all about the moneyzzz
I don’t know… I’m kind of fine with the idea of a game just being released completed and just having one or two updates if any. I don’t think NH needs any more content than it already has, it’s still hugely more content than any other game (except maybe Pocket Camp but that doesn’t count). I don’t see what’s wrong with NH the way it is, people are so greedy. Hopefully they’re putting resources into developing the next game.
I am still waiting on minigames to play with my friends. I miss them from ACNL... ACNL has so much more to offer in a long run. Yes you cant really redesign your town, but the villagers didnt feel like robots and after the update houses wont spawn on placed tiles, so you are now able to choose the location, were a house would place itself.
ACNH is just boring in its own way, cutting out a lot of events, items, dialoges, places.
The only thing I did not miss, was the weird songs from Captn
@@KarlaO711 I agree ACNL is still my favorite, but I don’t think any update to NH could fix our deep issues with it, like flat villagers. Mini games could be added sure, but that doesn’t interest me personally. Maybe unpopular opinion but I’ve never cared for multiplayer animal crossing
You said my exact thoughts. And what people think lacks in NH is not gonna be fixed in a update
You pay for online but you get less things to do with your friends online than New Leaf. I wouldn't complain if it was for free or you can go do mini games locally. Cause you know Nintendo is behind with online and cloud services.

Damn… the CPM (crap per minute) of this video is off the charts.
Yeah, bro is mad that Animal Crossing doesn't get update every month
Animal Crossing fans try not to be the most impatient fanbase in existence challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!!)
27:56 No, Nintendo didn't delete this line only for 3D All-Stars: they used the "Shindou Pak" Edition released in Japan in 1997, so that the Joy-Cons can rumble. In this version, there isn't the famous line because, in Japan, Bowser is called Koopa. So it is only a coincidence.
I'm a big pokemon fan as well as an animal crossing fan. You know the situation is bad when ANIMAL CROSSING FANS are telling pokemon what they should do differently😂😂
As someone who has New Horizons, I’m gonna just keep playing new leaf. It’s the best we are ever going to get and if the devs will try to learn, they should use that game as an example
ACNH added so many cool things but also lost some things that made animal crossing... animal crossing 😔 I was really hoping the updates would add the features they were lacking but they just didn't
@@mmaaaaaxxx I agree wholly. The graphics were amazing and the sunsets were just chef’s kiss. But to see so much still lacking and things that could be changed just hurt me as a longtime fan. Like the more obvious points have been said but no one says a lot about the museum. The plaques for example should not have been a museum day giveaway and something else like hats or clothes or nonplaque furniture should have been given out. Getting 20 plaques loses its charm very quickly and those should have been things you earn for completing the museum sections
27:51 that’s not the reason. This port was based on the Shindo release in Japan. It featured rumble along with bug fixes. In that version he says “bye bye” in the original version he says “so long king bowser” and people on the internet popularized it as something else.
Ugh, don't get me started on that (the infamous line). Charles Martinet himself confirmed what the actual line was a couple years ago, and people STILL claim it's "so long gay Bowser".
Really hit the nail on the head.
For AC:
While the newest game had a lot of new features that added some great gameplay, the execution on some of these new features was really lacking or even took away from the goals of the original design, in addition to the game missing many major features of the previous games.
IMO the extent at which you can decorate, combined with the grindy-ness of crafting is totally opposite from the original intent of the game to be a chill life simulator. It's devolved into a game where you grind nonstop for money and resources and spend 100s of hours trying to get the perfect design. At the same time, they neglected various aspects that play to the daily life sim aspect, such as dialogue, random events, and holidays.
In order to get more back to its roots they really need to not necessarily dial back decorating as much as they just need to make it much much easier with tons of QOL features and dial back on grind to get items in the first place big time, all while greatly increasing the effort spent on the daily life aspect by improving dialogue and villager interactions, more story/friendship based progression with special characters, and much more holidays / events to spice up the game day over day and week over week. With this, the game would meet much more happily in the middle of being focused on both decorating and daily life rather than its current 95% decorating, 5% chill daily life sim.
For Pokemon:
It doesn't take a genius to tell the newer pokemon games have really been lacking. Sword and Shield in its final state with DLC honestly isn't too bad, but the main part that's wrong is the fact that with DLC it has about as much content as Ultra Sun/Moon, while being more than double the price ($40 vs $90), and not even being graphically better.
SV however is just an absolute travesty. Nobody in their right mind can argue that performance and visual wise, the game is abhorrent. A large amount of the game would be considered lazy visually even by Gamecube standards.
In addition to this, the game was made to be Open World, yet it lacks literally any thought being put into this major design change. Fans for generations have been thinking about how cool an open world pokemon _COULD_ be, as well as all the problems that could arise from being able to explore freely from the get-go, and solutions to those problems.
Issues like being able to catch pokemon too powerful for the section of the game you're on, being able to train against strong pokemon to level too quickly, and gyms having to scale with your level all were blatantly ignored and the game's difficulty feels like a joke if you take advantage of the exploration, train a bit in some high level areas, and then beat the high level gyms first. Not only do the gyms / evil team members / giant pokemon not scale with your level, it doesn't even tell you what order is recommended to challenge them in, and if you beat the 3rd gym first it just feels like a waste of your time to go back and fight the 1st and 2nd gyms.
For Mario Kart:
I honestly never liked Mario Kart 8 from day one and was right away hoping the next one would ditch the anti grav and go back to normally designed tracks that have much more off-track areas to boost over for shortcuts instead of just guard rails as everything is technically in the sky. Very disappointed my least favorite MK game is the one that's stuck around the longest of any game in the franchise, with no new games (not counting home circuit and tour) since 2015.
Between camera turn rate not feeling right at high CCs (makes memorization more necessary), bad item randomness (low places frequently get bad items, high places frequently get items that shouldn't even be possible like triple red shells in 1st or 2nd place), mushrooms in general feeling awful due to lack of boostable areas on courses / speed boost being pitiful on higher ccs / moving too fast being a disadvantage on the mostly curvy stages / all while being like half the items in the pool, and I personally would prefer if you could just play whatever character / cart you want and decide your stats (although that's been an issue of mine for quite a few games, not just this one).
you mean n64, gamecube is when Nintendo was pushing for power
Man...u wrote way too much, u need a blog or a forum 😂😂😂...not utube comment section
jesus christ, yap yap yap
3:42 a laid back style game gets a laid back approach to content
Splatoon is an online multiplayer focused game it’s not the same
The 3d all stars version of mario 64 is the Japan exclusive reissue of the game that added rumble, removed some glitches, and replaced "so long gay bowser". Nintendo didn't make the change just for the collection.
Nobody talks about Star Fox. I want a new game in that series.
38:05 Ah as a fan of The World Ends With You, I know this pain all too well. I remember the IP was in danger of dying out and TWEWY fans were encouraged to buy TWEWY FR or risk the IP being dead forever and never getting a sequel. Nearly the exact same fate as Chibi Robo. We got NEO TWEWY (the sequel) but that then didn't sell well due to lack of advertizing so...that's it, TWEWY as an IP is dead
I just wanna say I love your channel and I love the continent you make you make me so happy when I’m having a hard time. Thank you for posting.!!
continent 💀
No one likes a suck up.
Bro think he an earthbender 💀
I think the problem with this is that when talking about animal crossing or Pokémon you’re talking from a place of superiority. These are top selling highly advertised, highly merchandised series. I think rather than “Nintendo neglect these series” a better thing to say is that Nintendo isn’t very good at maintaining its own properties. Less clickbait, I know but still something that’s not said often because Nintendo is still seen by most to be one of the better gaming companies. Nintendo favors some more than others in some aspects and develops more in others than some. Like you stated, Mario is their main guy but even he can’t get new games or good updates to some of his series. But to say that Mario fans are being neglected sounds ridiculous when every Nintendo direct has some mention of him. Similarly to say Animal Crossing is being neglected after a year and half of updates sounds ridiculous to fire emblem fans who get half a year of updates after launch at most. There are problems with how they handle their series across the board and I think it’s important to focus on that rather than who gets more love than who. Because that just makes communities that should be working together fight amongst themselves.
I don’t see any problems, I think people are just spoiled.
Nintendo is not the problem, it’s YOU people always wanting more. Just be satisfied with what you get already!
@@benmalsky9834 This is why indie games are important, because expecting one big company to do everything is not likely.
@@orangeslash1667exactly!because not only does it become monotonous but it also means there’s not many new things basically. But people like Ben are just sheep following the big company Shepard even when the company’s going down and not bothering with quality.
@@mr.bridge7839 I am not sheep, I am a FAN!
Why would there be another animal crossing already when there is currently one on the same console?
And it'd be pretty disrespectful to continue doing things with the Mother series.
exactly ANCH came out just 3 years ago. wait for the next generation at least
Couldn't agree more. We get one new main Animal Crossing game per system (except for the Wii U, and I'm not counting the Japanese exclusive update to the GC one). I don't know why people would expect that to suddenly change.
ARMS has massive potential and its a shame Nintendo abandoned it (yes thats me as an ARMS fan saying this)
Edit: I forget to mention that us as the playerbase are forever grateful to have this series talked about. Yabuki (same director as the Mario Kart team did say that he wants to expand on the franchise. We even had a graphic novel by Dark Horse but was later canceled due to unknown reasons. People just kinda bash this game even though it didnt do anything. Sure, theres criticisms but theres also potential and people can see it. ARMS has a small, cult fanbase but we still love new people who join in too
LItterly i was an actual pro at it however my controller top triggers stopped working lol. I was one of the right joy con and it is never the same.
They’ll probably make a sequel to arms eventually seeing as min min’s In smash.
@@GLOVEEM hopefully but I was fine with the first game just more updates.
Eh at least wait until the switch 2
animal crossing never really gets any BIG updates and never is on the same console so yeah not really
I really liked this video, but I did have a bit of feedback. You say at 11:34 that some of these games get away with having a cool concept but don't really expand on it all too much for what it's worth price-wise, which is a VERY GOOD point, but then use examples that actively contradict your point, such as Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Captain Toad, and Woolly World. The point of these games are meant to be meticulously crafted dioramas for you to explore and find everything in - the reason why the main campaign is so short is because you mainly go through and get the main objectives to complete the story. And in the case of Kirby and Yoshi, the levels are so fun and creative themselves, that they actively make you want to go back and play through them again and again. So, all of these games DO have a LOT of replay value.
You then specifically examine Kirby starting at 11:45, saying that they mainly use the child-friendly brand recognition to pump out games. And that is ABSOLUTELY not the case. There may be LOTS of Kirby games on the Switch, but they're all of very good quality, and I have bought and enjoyed all of them! Specifically, Forgotten Land (the one you use an example) is a complete revolution of the classic Kirby formula, creating a new 3D experience that melds classic and fresh gameplay really well in a VERY creative experience. It's no Breath of the Wild, but that's not what it's trying to be.
And the reason why there are so many Kirby games in the first place is because they are mainly developed by HAL Laboratories, not Nintendo - the latter just publishes it. You use this at 10:45 to juxtapose against the lack of support for other games, which is fair point, but I feel you just use the wrong example.
Hope you don't take this as being negative, just wanted to offer whatever feedback I can! Regardless, this was a well-made video!😄
Shigasato Itoi, (the man who created the MOTHER series, and owns the rights to them) has stated that he's not gonna make another MOTHER game before all 3 games went through development hell and he doesn't want to keep doing that.
I wouldnt say animal crossing is neglected, its just that ac fans have very high standards
When Nintendo repackaged features that were just in the other games as if they were something new, yeah, of course peole would complain. Like New Horizons was not a finished. Heck it was bearly game at launch. I am not a fan of the ROAD MAP type of update. Like different bugs and fish for the changing season. Holidays and events. Yeah, always been there in the game in some way. Imagine if they did that type of thing to Zelda or a Mario game. Road map to adding levels/dungeons, power ups and items to the game. People would revolute!
By the time they added things to make it a full game of Animal Crossing. People were burned out and bored. I thought the newer games usually add or at least try to maintain the standard of the pervious. But you think simce it is Nintendo why to have to wait so long to have a completed game?
Didn't Shigeru Miyamoto once say "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."
Yeah, the series is always omnipresent, just look at the new Lego line that was just announced for next year!
@@SolitareHeartzYou are complaining because you don’t understand what New Horizons was about.
@@SolitareHeartzRoad maps are perfectly fine. We don’t need to be spoiled with goods all the time.
Most ACNH fans came from games like Sims where it’s kept alive for years with new stuff. Nintendo never really did that before. I’m sure they would’ve preferred to just make a new game altogether.
8:55 Generally it's one Mario Kart per system. 8 was great, it's main problem was being stuck on Wii U. Yes it's a port, but with all the DLC i'd say it's new enough
If tomodachi life is not on this list...
This whole video just feels like some kid complaining that we don’t get enough, but we get PLENTY.
Maybe we should just shut down all Nintendo franchises, we got plenty of them.
@@mr.bridge7839 No we shouldn’t!
@@mr.bridge7839 What are you crazy?!
@@mr.bridge7839 Please don’t say that
@@benmalsky9834what happened to “we got plenty”? Also OP is just projecting.
Asking for new leaf and not even e+, embarrassing
Basing this comment/explanation solely off the thumbnail, the title feels either misleading or using the term "neglect" in an incorrect or biased manner. Animal Crossing isn't being neglected, it's just finished receiving main support. Mario Kart isn't being neglected; 8 is a fantastic, extremely well selling game that's literally receiving its last wave in the current DLC pack and has even started receiving character/vehicle balance patches that shows a lot of care is being given to the game even over a decade after its original Wii U release. The only one in the thumbnail fitting of actually being neglected is Pokemon because TPCI is forcing Game Freak's hand to release games with unreasonable time constraints plus Game Freak seemingly refusing to increase the size of their miniscule staff to better handle said time constraints, resulting in unfinished games being forced out for merchandising and multimedia release purposes and because they know we'll still consume their product regardless of how poorly handled it is.
All that aside, while I'd disagree that New Horizons was neglected, I can and will agree with anyone who says that the game is underwhelming, especially when comparing New Horizons vs. New Leaf. But I would also agree with anyone who says the game is great, because I personally believe the game is both fantastic for what it is and aimed to be, but also a little underwhelming in that it could've done just a bit more, even if only some more quality of life improvements to finalize the product post-release. Or, like... give us actual villagers instead of a bunch of collectable wind up dolls with only 10 different wacky and incredible™ catchphrases.
I hope this comment doesn't come off as rude or aggressive... Now to watch and enjoy this video regardless because Rocket makes rad content 🙏
I don’t understand exactly how New Horizons is “underwhelming” or “lacking” when it’s meant to be very different than the rest of the series. You’re on a deserted island that you grow and grow over time. Simple as that! Straight to the point!
Animal Crossing stopped receiving support because they needed the developers to finish up Splatoon 3, the two series share the same Nintendo EPD group.
@@costby1105 Yeah, that explains it well.
Some of these feel extremely nitpicky. I mean, Mario, Kirby, and Animal Crossing of all things... If that's what neglect looks like then sign me up. We've got franchises like F-Zero, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country, Punch Out, and Kid Icarus which haven't gotten "new" games in forever but I feel your point gets diluted when you conflates these series with ones like the aforementioned.
us tomodachi fans still have to play on the 3ds Nintendo did not even just port it to Nintendo switch and tomdachi life made them a ton of money so where's tomodachi life 2?
Honestly, I don't see in how far a new Mario Kart could improve the status quo right now. Currently, graphics and gameplay is fine. Releasing a new game just for new levels would be strange, it just made more sense to put it in a DLC. Maybe in the future you could drastically improve graphics - but that could be an update to Mario Kart 8, too. There is no reason to start from scratch. Besides, it's good for us, isn't it? We don't have to buy an expensive base game again.
"Nintendo needs to make more games!"
"Nintendo games are too much"
You hit the nail on the head with all of these, SPECIALLY with Pokémon
I think the pokemon rant is well meaning and I even agree with points, but the development team on SV was larger than BotW. Nearly 500 people worked on that game for 3 years, it absolutely wasn't a small production. The issue isn't the resources, its the team and likely the people financing these projects pushing for larger and larger scope from a team that just last gen, in 2013, made their first 3d game ever. The brand size, the market expectations and the team inexperience with tight time tables are really the wider issue.
So yeah, again, not to discredit your points, it just feels like an outsider's take on a pretty much widely held belief without actually digging into the actual subtle issue at GF and with the pokemon brand.
Also ILCA has done plenty of game development, to say they never made a game before makes it seem like they aren't experienced. They released a One Piece JRPG this year that had been in production for 6 years as well. They aren't publishing their own works but they've been doing game development for a long while.
7:11 Bdsp is misunderstood it may not have had platinum content but it did add it’s own new stuff like expanded underground, updated qol, modern type chart, modern movepool, ramanas park etc and it’s got wholesome and cute quirky vibes
I feel like the problem with Pokemon is that theyve slowly been forced into this 3 year timeframe to make a game and now that everyone expects it they have no option but to co-operate unless they want to loose fans and money, they can keep their team small if they want as long as they have the time to facilitate that, especially with the rapid evolution of gaming and the technology associated with it
Pokemon just needs to have more time instead of being forced out in three years only to IMMIDEATLEY start working on the next game to keep up with the rat race
16:16 the og game was like that too and replayable tracks was what a lot of fans loved about the games
The only thing about Animal crossing I would say ( and this is coming from an animal crossing fan) but as “big” as it is. It’s still a niche tittle. The only reason it sold that much is because of the pandemic and many people used that to play online and connect with friends. Since you couldn’t go out during most of the pandemic. It dropped off quickly and I myself haven’t even played it yet tbh. I’m probably going to get it for Christmas this year but we will see. Also wanting to get TOTK as well. But yes I agree I think animal crossing should maybe do what the sims do with expansions and DLCs but I also know EA gets torn apart for what they charge and offer
Splatoon gets more content because it sells more consistently with each game
THATS WHAT IM SAYING!! Also splatfest already happen so it’s super easy to make them themed to a new game when animal crossing would need totally new items and etc 😭
idk pokemon has never had voice acting, i wouldnt appreciate it, its how i like my zelda and pokemon games
i played ACNH, and it seems like its already everything it needs to be. Given how its played, with events that are based in real time which you play once and would only touch again in a year, having consistent updates just seem not in best interest andbest hold off for a sequel
Hopefully, there's a mention of the Endless Ocean series from the Wii era; I loved playing those two games back in the day, but they hadn't released another game since 2009.
Nintendo KNEW what they were doing with scarlet and violet…..
Mario Galaxy isn’t a series it’s just a set of games in a bigger franchise. They aren’t neglecting it they just aren’t making anymore games for it and have moved on since.
Animal crossing is not neglected....
exactly
27:48 the line wasn't changed because of a misconception, the reason the line is different in the 3D All Stars version is because that version of SM64 is a Japanese version of the game that was originally developped to add rumble support back on the N64, and since Bowser in Japan is called King Koopa, they decided to change the line where Mario says "So long gay Bowser" to just "Bye bye" to avoid confusion
If you think Nintendo games are too short you haven’t played enough games. Not just not enough Nintendo games, not enough games. Nintendo games have less story, more fleshing out. Nobody hates Nintendo more than Nintendo fans, as they cry and sob not looking at the competition, who are far worse.
You forgot the biggest offender of this category… Duck Hunt.
Nintendo treats animal crossing how they should be treating pokemon. Give pokemon more time to marinate and let animal crossing release a little more content
I will forever rant about Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's performance issues *until Game Freak decides to do an update that includes fixing them and allowing us to remove battle animations*
LIKE PLEASE 🙏🤬 these games are almost 1 year old 😭
The sad thing. I dont think they will ever change it. They are probably like, yeah dont know how to fix it, dont care either, we try next time with the new gen. They arent very good with programming stuff, we saw that with X and especially with Sun and Moon (reminder Lilly was copy pasted in every cut-scene she was in, instead of leading a path to a main sorce to cut down on resources - thats why a lot of lags happend there) It seems they are still not used to make 3D games.
the further out we get the less likely the game will get fixed
Even if you get rid of the battle animations , then Pokémon won’t be as Pokémon anymore.
But there will come a day where you will grow bored of ranting for so long , but Game Freak won’t listen to jus one person who’s been going on a forever rant.
It is their mistake for being lazy and for being sloppy , but they were being rushed and nobody doesn’t likes to be rushed right.
So please ease up on blaming them for their mistakes.
But how would you liked it like if someone blamed you for your mistakes for so much ???
If you don’t like that then think about how they feel , like when someone blames them for their mistakes.
If you don’t like that at all , then you shouldn’t be quick to blaming them for their mistakes.
If you don’t want to be blamed for your mistakes , then you shouldn’t be blaming them for their mistakes.
@@Designer239 It is literally no excuse for beeing the Number 1 franchise of the whole world and pushing out a game in a state like that. Sorry... If you are beeing pushed, then try to find ppl that work for you that actually know how to program a game... Because since they went 3d it went downhill, so they are not comfortable with that at all. If they did the Zelda route and let 1k ppl program 1 Pokémon, with walking animations etc, another 1k ppl for the rest oft the game and a team that coordinates the stuff, then we could have had a good game with the time the franchise gives them.
But just saying yes I buy and amen without even complaining, even if it is the worst quality should not be the way.
I will not go on with Nintendo, just because of Pokémon. Not worth my money. And sooner or later others will do the same. Because you can make a fandom really fed up, even if your game is well known.
I watched other games crumble the same way.
Nintendo has so many good games that they could re-release or give another sequel, but they choose to forget about them. For me personally, I would love to see a Kid Icarus remake or a Banjo Kazooie remake. But I guess it'll never happen. And it's not just Nintendo either, Sony has some amazing classics that I would also like to see make a return, classics like Sly Cooper and the Ratchet & Clank PS2 games. But like Nintendo, Sony had also decided to neglect them. Another thing that stills bothers me is the Mario 3D All-Stars collection. Like they could had at least continue selling the game digitally on the Nintendo Eshop. But no, instead they wanted to sell it for a limited time. So I hope the some day, we get another Mario 3D collection with the addition of Super Mario Galaxy 2. Because it really didn't make any sense to me with how that game just got completely left out.
animal crossing and mario kart do make totally sense. animal crossing is popular for being a life simulation, theres not much space to do something entirely new that justifies a new ip. spin offs really are unsure to be successful, amiibo festival was horrible but maybe it made nintendo think that spinoffs wont do well.
mario kart 8 deluxe sold so extremely well that a new ip wouldnt have the same potential, as the most families or anyone that plays mk8 for the local multiplayer already have a marrio kart for their console to play and wouldnt need a new game. i think we'll get a new mario kart on the switch 2 pretty fast.
Mario kart gets a pass because of its infinite replaiblity
Isn't Animal Crossing one of those games where you're supposed to play it religiously, for quite a while? Years of play accumulate to what your town becomes? Considering AC gets a mainline release semi-regular and they put in a LOT of work for it, I would never in a million years say they neglect the series.
F Zero 💔
When i think of dead franchises, i think of Ice Climbers, 1080 Snowboarding, Wave Race and F-Zero.
pocket camp is literally getting more personalization than new horizons, and the most if them arent playable if you don't pay 💀
I'm glad it's not just me yearning for something new from the Kid Icarus franchise.
The thing about Mario 3D All Stars
Super Mario 64's "So long, Gay Bowser" line was removed because the game is based off the Shindou edition, and that version of the game features rumble support, and that version added the "Buh bye!" line that Mario says.
1:12 the game was complete and the dev team moved onto splatoon it wasn’t abandoned
They’re probably developing the next AC game right now
ARMS was great. It was refreshing to see something new even if it wasn’t executed the best. Nintendo was still new to ongoing updates and such but I think it’ll come back maybe on the next Switch.
just wait for splatoon 3 to finish its updates, im sure we will see a new animal crossing soon after the next switch launches
I’m not gonna watch this whole Video but uh. I hope you mentioned Golden sun.
You really don’t understand it, Animal Crossing is NOT neglected or not treated well, it’s just that it’s usually one game per console. The series is always omnipresent with merchandise and events.
15:40 who cares about graphics the story and writing and character interactions have a lot of charm and personality and that’s all you really need
It’s not the graphics the game uses mocap which we aren’t used to for Pokémon
There is a lot of misunderstanding on how Nintendo EPD works here. If every game were the same scope as Breath of the Wild you would only see safest series as the Game too 800 people six years to develop. Also very few games are developed by either Nintendo or one of their subsidiaries(Retro, Monolith, Next Level, 1UP Studios). Some series were tried but kept getting less and less sales like F-Zero and don't have a producer pushing for new entries like Metroid or Pikmin. Sometime Nintendo doesn't have enough developers to develop everything and priority is placed on thing that series that sell or series that don't nessary sell but have the blessing of someone high up at Nintendo. Larger games often take 4-5 years to develop even when things do go smoothly.
Kirby gets a lot of love because HAL owns 50% of the franchise and gets a significant amount of money from merchandise. HAL is almost always going to work on a Kirby game if it is being published by Nintendo, anything else is going to be small. Same thing to a lesser extant with Intelligent Systems and Fire Emblem; they want that big game to be the one they Co-own with Nintendo. Neither Intelligent Systems or HAL are owned by Nintendo
The reason we stopped getting updates for Animal crossing was because most of the developers move on to Splatoon 3 as the Same development group works on both. There weren't many developers left to continue work on it. That is why we got Amiibo Festival instead on the Wii U, most of the developers were working on Splatoon.
Pokemon's problem is the very short and ambitious time table where they have to hire freelancers to work on the game in short order. There just isn't time or development manpower to get a new Pokemon game out every three years, some of the problems were likely caused by too many cooks in the kitchen and management issues. The multi headed Hydra that is The Pokemon Company's profits demand game in order for there to be new Merchandise which is the primary driver of profit. Nintendo doesn't do much in the way of Pokemon game Development and primarily publishes and markets the games. The last game they Developed for Pokemon Was Pokemon Stadium 2. BDSP was likely rushed once Legends Arceus potentially Pivoted from originally being remake to a new experience. I should point out that Game Freak nor Creatures is own by Nintendo; Nintendo just owns a third of the Pokemon IP.
A new Mario Kart on the switch was likely moved to the switch successor system as a launch title, Nintendo always tries to get a new Mario Kart early on in a systems life.
We didn't get a new Kid Icarus because Sakurai was busy for a decade on Smash Bros and is now in semi retirement. The other thing was for Melee, Brawl, and 3DS/Wii U was the inclusion of one or two NES Representatives a few who were planed for Smash 64 even but got held off.
Mother is another series that Nintendo doesn't fully own as the rights are Split between them and Itoi's company. Even if Itoi wanted to make a new game or remake he just doen't have the connections in Nintedo he used to now that Iwata passed away. However Itoi had said that he wasn't just done with Mother but Game Development entirely. Make sense as the smoothest development he had was a Fishing game, Every other game was hit with varying degrees of Develoment Hell. Earthbound/Mother 2 took 5 grueling years of development with HAL having to support APE/Creatures in order to finish; to put things in perspective Final Fantasy VI a more mechanically ambitious( and buggy) game took a little over a year. Mother 3 N64 was canned and Mother 3 GBA was cut down, suffers from some poor optimization and would require much more reprogramming in order for Nintendo to not get sued. Mother 3 if it had a western release wouldn't have come out until a year later at the earliest. Likely June or July in order to give some time between the Final Fantasy game Nintendo was publishing in the west and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.
Chibi Robo problem is the developer of the series went defunct in 2015 and the other developer is not assisting on Kirby titles.
Honestly, you might get a lot of flack for this video, but you are speaking nothing but facts. Nintendo, I feel, has fallen into this rut (not the right word but I digress) where they are relying HEAVILY on being a household name and brand loyalty. Not to mention, all the new games that have come out, although experimental (BOTW, Odyssey, Forgotten Land, etc) are very *safe* options for Nintendo to release. Idk why they would go for safe, especially being an established brand, but that is what's happening.
I know this is a AC channel, but I think Pokemon is the biggest example of putting effort into a franchise being almost nothing. IMO, as an avid SwSh defender, No. 1 Arceus stan, and Pokemon Snap enjoyer, Pokemon hasn't been the same since its full transition into 3D. I think the best step its taken on the Switch was Arceus, and imo, Arceus is better than SV any day of the week.
But, to bring the point back, I want to know what's going on behind the scenes for the reason that everything has become so "but it now and hope we support it later". Look at Mario Strikers, that game, that EVERYONE was so hyped for was basically left out with no support from Nintendo. It got one, maybe two, updates? But then nothing. And, to come back to Animal Crossing. I know another youtuber made a video recently about how the AC community is "spoiled and entitled" but I couldn't fully agree to the points they were making. I don't think its bad or unreasonable to expect more from the second best selling game on the Nintendo switch. Like, NH was supposed to be an upgrade from New Leaf, and while on paper it mostly is, theres SOOO much cut content that makes it feel like it both is and isn't. I, again, don't think its unreasonable to ask for performance issues to be fixed, to ask for more of the old furniture sets to be brought back, or to ask for an upgrade to the Nook Shop. I don't think the game is "finished", I think Nintendo was pushing yhe dev team to hurry up on the Splatoon hype and release 3 when Splat 2 was only realased a short time before.
Idk man, its a fickle time to be a Nintendo fan
Side Note about ARMS: I absolutely LOVE the idea of ARMS!! The characters, the lore, the OST, EVERYTHING. However, I think ARMS would have profited more if it releases on the Wii and utilized those motion controls (like Punch Out did) on that system. However, if ARMS ever does come back, I think taking the approach of a traditional fighting game would be super beneficial. By that I mean the game play would be the same, but the story mode would be you choose your character and go through their story, choose dialogue options and then fight other characters until you reach the end with the boss for that character. Then, once you complete all the characters storylines, you unlock the "true ending" and then you're done. Tl;Dr a story mode. Because ARMS is cool
I don’t even want a whole ass new animal crossing game, I’m chill with more furniture or movements/emotions, hair styles… a new island-
0:50 I see two remakes and a download title that was part of a full game. Kirby is also Nintendo's experimental IP, since generally anything makes sense for him
I hope they just give us a new Animal Crossing game in a few years. Cause New Horizons is just a huge heartache. Y'all imagine the Big 3 were treated this way. Zelda, Mario and Pokémon were treated like Animal Crossing. Like the pandemic and being a long time since we had a mainline game are the only things saving NH from criticism.
Like Miyamoto delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad"
New Horizons for me is that game that was "rushed" out and Nintendo is now milking dry until they sell Switch 2 or whatever. Updates and quality of life stuff would be appreciated, but the hurt is already there.
There is nobody on Earth that can convince me that Animal Crossing New Horizons was a full Animal Crossing game at launch. All the "free updates" were them just patching the rest of the game. So they were just trying to get the game done. I think people would be more understanding if Nintendo communicated clearly like what they did with Metroid. There is an issue we delay the game. Due to the issues of the state if the world we are unable to finish the game and will give free updates until we can get it done.
Kirby and the "FORGOTTEN" land
15:50 The graphics for detective pikachu aren’t bad it’s have always looked like that it’s an intentional artistic choice it’s part of the charm the previous game looked like that too
It’s part of the charm to make the characters more expressive
You are too focused on the superficiality of the graphics to appreciate the personality of the game itself
Kirby and yoshi are meant to be relayed to explore the levels and get everything.
Honestly, everything Animal Crossing New Horizons ever got in a update should've just have been in the base game.
The best thing Animal Crossing fans will get in a short while is Dondoko Island from Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth
being a splatoon and animal crossing fan is honestly interesting
I'd like to point out that the development team for Animal Crossing is the same team for Splatoon, so they had to shift gears and stop supporting ACNH in order to support Splatoon 3, which gets updated frequently for two years. Perhaps once support for Splatoon 3 ends in September, they will focus on another Animal Crossing game, but right now, they gotta focus on Splatoon.
Just be thankful you're not a F-Zero or Star Fox fan...
Arcade racing games and shooters are still a thing in indie games.
another day thanking the lord for making me think star fox gameplay is werid and never becoming a fan
Hopefully one day a new Chibi Robo game is released.
Bad news Chibi Robo's creator Kenichi Nishi left the company in 2009. So Skip can't make a great one without him.
The good news is that he did create Moon Remix RPG Adventure.
I'm still so angry about Animal Crossing!!! It was my first dive into the game, and they abandoned it SSSSOOOO quickly! It was so lackluster I abandoned it right before Halloween 2020!
I mean if you count 3D world Nintendo puts out a 3D mario every generation I wouldn’t want or expect more it makes it an event and why they’re so memorable.
Yeah we definitely do need a newer AC Game.
But the multiplayer part of ACNH really does stinks , but i do know of a newer way for the multiplayer part of that game to be way better.
But also to change more things about that game of ACNH.
But ACNH really should be in a whole newer way , like for the whole entire game of it.
Like being able to interact to absolutely everything and really to work for a living.
But the friend codes are there for us to be connected to each other.
But if we don’t wanna be connected to each other at all , then there should be a spot for those people.
So that way they don’t have to be connected to everyone.
But whoever wants to be connected to everybody , then the game itself should have a away , to get all of us to be connected to all of us.
But the game should really should be more opened to learning from us all.
But i do have a lot more of newer ideas.
Dective Pikachu 2 started as a 3ds game but went through development hell
captaid toad: treasure tracker. that’s all i’m saying
