The sad thing is, Nintendo has started to let some real junk on the eshop recently

It is one thing to have some bad games released but some of the more recent releases bored on plain scams- it is as if these scammers have found a new "mark" in the eshop without near the competition of the I-store - honestly I don t think games like The Letter and Little Red Riding Hood would even be allowed on the I store

The same dev that made the mostly broken Brick Breaker (or something like that) is the guy now marketing the Minecraft clone- If anyone read the mii verse comments and reviews about his current game they would. Or get excited about his clone - the dev them cola I ed publicly about his well deserved poor review scores

People might think it is no big deal but these "scam games" divert dollars away from the legit indies putting in a real effort, they create more clutter to need to avoid to find the legit games and they also cause people that want to support the indies to loose trust when they purchase such garbage- they are less likely to take a risk the next time

I remember this AE guy from before - I could. It follow his pr today so I watched the video thinking it would clear his message- NO- neither the PR or video made any sense

As sad as it is that the eShop has been getting so much crap recently, I do think it's not that big of a deal, because they do a great job of not showcasing the garbage games.



I disagree they showcase those games as much as any other eshop game- they all have mii verse communities, they all get to have some time on the main mii verse hub - they are in no way treated less than or different from all but a few indie games If Nintendo was going to hide these games they would not let them on the eshop in the 1st place - the dev s of these games get verifies user status on Mi verse and they are often active in the communities trying to peddle their junk


But not all of them show off in the eshop front page. Its hard because there is not a great stream of quality games, so they cannot put the good games in front.

 

But one things has bothered me for some time now: why games like minecrat, limbo, braid, and many other still doesn't show up? Were is the walking dead, and many others well recivied indie games? Its odd for me, because sucessfull games from 2013, like gone home and the swapper, and even guacamelle are here, but the olders didn't issue any plans, it seem only "new" indie developers are trying to support, while "old" indies continue to ignore, even after some so much sucess from games like shovel knigth.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
