I will. Might as well avoid threads where I'll sound stupid (cough cough politics thread xough)

Seeing a lot of the same things, with pricing a lot of people's complaints.

When I was making the thread, I was scared people will accuse me of being a penny pincher

Their relative lack of ambition on the WiiU. They've released some genuinely fantastic games, and plenty that make great general use of the WiiU's hardware, but it took them 3~ years to make a game i felt properly justified the relative jump between the Wii and WiiU in ambition (that game being XCX). I understand they had a lot of issues transitioning into HD development, and there's still BotW on the horizon, but it's hard for me not to be disappointed at having to wait so long for so few examples of what i originally expected to see frequently.

I should note that this complaint isn't reserved for just Nintendo, i feel like the 8th gen in general has been slow on the ambition front (relative to what we know each system is capable of), but Nintendo don't have the luxury of brute forcing ambition through major 3rd party support, and in general i expect more from them than i do most publishers.



For me:

-Region locking
-No achivement system
-No unified account system
-Too many delays
-Relatively unpolished games as of recent (ever since XCX, ignoring FE Fates, and until TMS #FE, I've felt that every game Nintendo has put out has been average at best, and the delay for Star Fox Zero was not worth the wait at all.)
-Trying to be innovative for the sake of being innovative



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

- Not enough 3D Platformers

- Region Lock

- My Nintendo platinum points are mostly useless

- Uhh, no Pokémon for consoles? Can't think of anything else really, most of my complaints are about the Wii U especifically =P

I want more Monolith Soft games!



The fact that their systems are region locked. No fucking reason for it.

Never understood that either. Doesn't benefit anyone

 

Heck, they can get more sales from places they don't sell games to if they didn't region lock

Innovation for the sake of innovation. Basically trying to do simple things in a new way just so they can say they're different. I don't mind doing things in a new way if there's a clear reason and use for it, but all too often Nintendo seems to just try and come up with the next big thing when all everyone wants is to play their games as they always have.



Sometimes they can be very dense as a company.
