after seeing a few things during the aug 22 gamescom i realized that my worst fears about nintendo have come true. see the other day i wrote about how nintendo was gonna screw it up, and i wanted to write about it months ago but didn't until after that an exploit was announced and people started saying how i only wanted "whatever they thought i wanted (im not a mind reader)" ill try my best to explain it but im terrible with putting words on paper/forum.
You know for months now all switch owners have been wondering "what will they bring out next after 2017" and i too have been wondering the same, However i always had a hunch that they were gonna lock stuff behind a paywall.
You see, when Nintendo says they are working on content, they aren't talking about new games, theyre talking out trickling out updates to older games that are intentionally built incomplete. they wont charge a DLC fee, mostly.... they'll just charge a yearly fee. Are the days that Nintendo dares to make complete games gone? We see games like Xenoblade and Mario Odyssey and Rabbids Kingdom but we don't see anything else. The future for Nintendo games is clear, bring out Two complete games out a year, but have Two that are incomplete and need constant updates... See ive always hated incomplete games, its just me, i don't like going and buying a cartridge and its only a portion of the game.
But i saw the future when they were really pushing Triforce Heroes and Metroid Federation and really trying to learn how to make games that were online friendly but they never solved how to keep it fresh... well they did now. The formula is simple, have a base game and sell it, and then build to it as it goes to keep people playing it. Is it the same as playing an incredible game? I dont know, When was the last time you picked up Zelda? It was a 10/10 game no? Even that game is incomplete too.
There has been certain critcism about nintendo games that always point to them being fun, good replayability but lacking in content. the way nintendo plans on fixing it is by releasing very little content then adding more as time goes by to fool people into thinking that theres much more content ahead, instead of just putting it in the game.
why give us the whole thing if they can just milk us for more money?
