I should say so. The user in question has been dogging threads about Nintendo's relationship with Platinum with the same message for quite some time, namely through the use of premature hyperbole in ragging on Wonderful 101's sales.


What rule did he break?


Spamming?

Is this guy serious? How can he see his future with Nintendo when he's just made the bomba of the year?

They have to unveil projects for other consoles ASAP. They have people waiting for their games outside the Nintendo world. Why can't they understand that!? It hurts so much to read things like that...

You've been harping on Wonderful 101's sales long enough. This is your warning.


I want to know if this is a serious post.

premature hyperbole? have you seen the sales for the game so far? its not like the man is wrong. and he's not of topic cause im this game is going to affect Ninty's relationship with Platinum and if they want to go with them.

In which case, 90% of posts in weekly sales threads over the last few Months should be moderated.

Trolling. Subtle, long-term trolling.

Tbh I don't think he's breaking any rules, unless being entertaining is no longer allowed.

C'mon now, it doesn't work that way.

 

Edit: Unless he starts bringing it up in completely unrelated topics or in trollish/flamebaiting manners he's not breaking any rules.

We both know thats bullshit.

This thread is about TW101 and Platinum Games' relationship with Nintendo. To point out the game in question is a bomb is not trolling. You can not give out a warning for what he did. Its simply poor moderation on your part. His post breaks no rules. He is correct.

From a business perspective, it doesn't make much sense because Platinum games are not really that big, meaning that Nintendo would have to invest in games that may not return profits.

From a "gamers" perspective (for the lack of a better word), this will will mean Nintendo is interested in more mature rated games, which will not increase their profit, but will change their image. The problem is that Nintendo stigma with "kid games" is so powerful that buying Platinum won't change that, they had to buy the entire game industry for Nintendo to change their image.

The "core" gamers opinion don't really matter in long term so Nintendo should stick with the first option and keep Platinum as it is right now, making exclusive games for them from time to time.

'tis all in the phrasing. Plenty of folks have made mention of W101's performance, but none seem to come off like his.

its been ingrained to long i would argue from way back in the SNES era. To be fair, its not like Ninty didnt have a hand in doing it to themselves, they have done(and not done) things that kind of make it easy for that stigma to stick. the editing of Mortal Kombat for SNES is the earliest i could remember
