| potato_hamster said: If your argument is that third party titles don't really matter in the grand scheme of things for Nintendo platforms then why are we talking about it? Also, isn't it ironic that you claim that Japanese games that have an impact are ones that mirrors the appeal of first party games, and then mention Octopath Traveller, which isn't like any major first party Nintendo game that Nintendo has made in years. You're contradicting yourself. |
Nope no contradiction as Octopath is very much in line with rpgs that Nintendo would put traditional but with a certain quirk to it similar to how Paper Mario and the M&L games have quirks that put put a spin on the traditional JRPG approach not to mention Nintendo has made JRPG type games so the appeal is already among the userbase.
You're the one saying only exclusives that have sales impact matter when for Nintendo that's not been the case for well over a decade now which is what I responded to, don't try that side step either because the point is very clear you're talking about games that can't be ported being a problem when we've just had a year with some notable games that weren't ported and Switch did just fine and outperformed the platform with those games which under the stance you're arguing shouldn't happen.
