Sticker Star was such a painfully boring game that I didn't even play past the second world

I liked the part of Sticker Star where battles were completely pointless and the game was actually a really mediocre puzzle game.

I just don't know how people go from "Sticker Star was mediocre" to "Miyamoto shouldn't be allowed to make games anymore". I mean, that poo poo is weird, right?

Blackbelt Bobman posted:What the gently caress are you even talking about The fact that Sticker Star's world themes are all completely bland and generic, and the characters are all pre-existing series staples. As opposed to previous games which introduced unique areas with new, memorable characters and enjoyable self-contained stories in every chapter. I mean for gently caress's sakes, look at Rogueport. That area on it's own has more personality than anything I've seen in Sticker Star combined, and it's the first place you go to in the game.

Obviously it's Miyamoto's fault that Sticker Star was bad, because his advice and guidance to the dev team was to not make it as wordy and plot heavy as Super Paper Mario, and not at all the fault of Intelligent Systems, the team that took that advice and made a bad game that happened to follow that advice in a way that was separated from what made the game bad.

Had a noir sounding level music, the wiggler diary, the boom box that had a small remix to Star maze from Super Mario Land, Sniffit or Whiffitit, Kersti having that moment in the spider web, and the Boss of the world. Enigmansion and the boss' story in world 4 and the level with Petey Piranha was great too. Oxxidation posted:No, you're not allowed to have that opinion. My 3DS has it listed as my favorite game now.

I certainly don't think that, but at this point I think Miyamoto shouldn't be given power over projects he's not personally directing or producing. People like Koizumi are perfectly capable of handling series like Mario on their own now without having Miyamoto hover over their shoulder.

Also they based the "no plot" directives off of club Nintendo surveys apparently, so that service was only ever used for evil. I think that's also the reason Dream Team was 24/7 tutorials.

The problem is that Miyamoto is a great video game designer, but he also has a pretty distinct style he always goes for. Having him be influential in too many projects makes everything in the company start to become homogenized

As far as I can tell from interviews Miyamoto doesn't really give "Advice and guidance", he just 'upends the tea table' or whatever the phrase they use is and tells the team to remake the game a certain way

The company was restructured to imbue Miyamoto's design ethos into everything they do, that ship may have already sailed. Pretty much all their internal development is under EAD now.

I just beat Sticker Star like a week ago. It wasn't amazing but it was totally alright. I think it's not what a Paper Mario fan would have been looking for and people being disappointed about that is totally reasonable, but what it is is okay too and whenever it's brought up everyone acts like it's some crime against humanity when it's not. Basically what I'm saying is the internet's a bunch of whiny overreactive babies

More of the games are fitting the same "minimal plot, popping colors, lighthearted tone" mold. Series like Metroid and F-Zero may not have been as popular, but they helped to round out the game library to be all-around more inclusive, if you wanted a dark atmospheric space opera you could get that from Nintendo, if you wanted a frantic racer that was only for the truly dedicated players, you could get that too. Hell, Tropical Freeze was a fantastic and challenging platformer, but even that went for brighter colors and bouncier themes than its SNES brethren. Nintendo too busy trying to make games that anyone could play, rather than a repertoire of games that anyone could find something that appeals to them in.

This is more fitting than you think, to promote Donkey Kong Country and "PLAY IT LOUD" they actually held events at colleges where you'd show up in a bathing suit and get splattered with paint. Then people would get scored on how colorful/covered in paint they got.

I think Nintendo is still doing that, but now the less inclusive games are either given to other teams at Nintendo (Monolith, XenoX), or made through working with other companies like Platinum and Atlus.

The thing to remember about F-Zero in particular is that it's not a franchise they ran into the ground or treated as a weird experimental playground like Starfox - they kept putting out fun, no-bullshit racing games that improved with every entry but fewer people bought each one, so it got to the point where they had to innovate or just move on, and I think they made the right call.

I've found that when people say "I want more variety," what they really are trying to say is "I am uncomfortable with brightly colored games, I want something violent so I don't feel like someone will make fun of me for playing a children's game." This is also why this argument pops up a lot online among more nerd-oriented websites where people get absurdly self-conscious about what they play and enjoy, whereas the average person doesn't actually have time to worry what xXxGokuWeed47xXx is going to say about Mario Kart 8, they just want to play it during their free time.

Honestly, they just need to take Mario Kart, make a 250cc mode, and you're close enough to F-Zero with items to be good enough. They've already got the Blue Falcon in there, so it's not even that far off. They could just add Captain Falcon and maybe some of his buds and there you go. And I guarantee you this hypothetical Mario Kart 9 would sell better than all the previous F-Zero games combined. Names do that.
