Come on GAF. Why can't we all get along?

 

[ForkNetwork]

I dont think anyone dislikes myamoto, but he seems to meddle alot in games at nintendo some times for worse, some times for better.

Talk to Paper Mario fans, they arent too happy that he pretty much destroyed their favorite franchise.

As a guy who grew up with Paper Mario 64 and TTYD, I will never forgive him for that. I still appreciate how much he influenced in modern gaming, but his mistakes deserve attention as well.

 

[Crayon]

Shit is all off topic but I want to say that there is a close relationship between the bullying and the general reaction it gets. Just putting that out there.

On topic: I think I will try minecraft on switch. I remember looking at it when it was very first catching on and I thought "well Ill be damned" as I looked at the sales. But I never really played it but for a few minutes. Now I have switch fever and all of a sudden I want minecraft. Derp.

 

[Liliana Eileen]

How can anybody actually dislike Miyamoto, though? He is an awesome human being.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

He is right, though. Literally RIGHT after those posts they came flooding in. I mean, it didn't even make it to the second page. IMHO, it's more sad that it's such a common occurrence here, so much so that people predict it correctly seconds/minutes before it actually happens.

Like, that's fucking pathetic. A topic about Minecraft on Nintendo Switch has people talking about Xbox having no games, Phil Spencer is shilling, and Xbox exclusives should be on Playstation on the first page.

Why talk about a couple of pre-emptive (and ironically 100% correct) posts when there is a much bigger problem here?

Anyways, we should get off this subject as it's going to further derail the thread.

So let them post first and then just PM a mod. No need to assist them in derailing and giving them the attention they desire. Last thing I'll say about it.

I wonder if it'll be possible to play multiplayer on the go with multiple controllers. That'll be pretty cool for the kids.

That is indeed possible.

 

[El-Pistolero]

Based Phil putting those first party to work...

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

That is indeed possible.

Wow. Kids everywhere are gonna be carrying their switch joycons around everywhere they go.

How can anybody actually dislike Miyamoto, though? He is an awesome human being.

There are those who don't subscribe entirely to his philosophy of what constitutes a great game and those principles are reflected (allegedly) on every game Nintendo produces. Personally speaking, I think he's a genius and the only thing I really disagree with him on is his dismissive attitude toward narrative-driven games (e.g., Paper Mario series).

Could you imagine if they worked out Goldeneye? Make it happen you silly fucks

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Woah it's crazy how good the shape of the One S is for the NES.

 

[Jpop]

Can this thread be restarted. Literally every post is off topic, or talking about how quick it will derail.

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

Woah it's crazy how good the shape of the One S is for the NES.

It's absolutely gorgeous!

That moment when Microsoft has put more games on the Nintendo Switch than EA.

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Phil didn't say that, The Verge did lol

 

[Oblivion]

Praising Nintendo?

Trouble in paradise, Phil?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

so he didn't say that, the verge did.

Sigh... yeah, but he shared the article. Don't be pedantic.

Like, there's something called inference guys.

Phil didn't say anything.

 

[Head.spawn]

Phil Spencer, journalist for Verge.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Stupid question, but why isn`t Minecraft exclusive to Windows Store and Xbox at this point? It`s not like they are releasing any of their other titles on PS4 and Nintendo.

Because money.

 

[Hermii]

If they wanted to I bet they could have pulled mc from all non ms platforms and sold a ton of Xbox ones.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Phil Spencer: "Minecraft is perfect for us to make a shit tonne of money on Switch."

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

Hm, Paper Mario Color Splash is a great game, so I don't see the franchise "destroyed" but just moving forward, perhaps in a direction some don't like, but that is just a matter of opinion.

@thread: MS will make tons of money with the Switch version.

 

[longdi]

Do we need a new thread whenever Phil says sometimes?

The dude sure know how to astro turf like a boss

He didn't even say that lol. He just re-tweeted the article.

"Salesman publicly shills his product"

[Maximus P]

I've been around long enough to know the drill when it comes to Phil Spencer threads on here,but, I've got to say, the responses on here still surprised me. The guy didn't even say anything and he's still getting berated.

You'd be fucking surprised how much anti-NintendoGAF hates Miyamoto.

I wonder how he felt about Super Mario RPG. Did he see it as a harmless one off instead of a series like Paper Mario that challenged what a Mario game could/should be?

I don't even know if you are serious or not.

 

[Sleight of Jam]

These threads every time Phil says something are getting ridiculous.

I'm sorry but it was so obvious that minecraft would come to switch.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Some of you guys are really annoying.

"He didn't say it directly."

He still meant what the Verge printed as a headline. I mean, he had to have if he tweeted the article.

 

[fantomena]

You underestimate GAF's power.

It's not GAFs fault that Phil says what people want to hear and simple things that means little to nothing. Phil should become a politician.

Politicians are businessmen and businessmen are politicians.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I think this topic should go well, I mean it's nice to see competitors benefiting from one another like this and it's great for the industry we love. I can't see how anyone would turn this thread into shitshow becau-

Not even one page i'm fucking cackling

I don't think you know what astroturfing means.

I mean Sony does the same thing but you don't see a line of people berating them.

I don't think you understand the concept of astroturfing.

Just FYI, some discussion of this, from another thread: Link

And now we're at the Sony Too™ phase I see.

This thread is complete.

We did it!

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I forgot Microsoft owns Minecraft.

 

[Red Devil]

Maybe Nintendo bought Microsoft.

Spoiler

j/k

 

[takriel]

Some people in here are really sad fanboys.

I, for one, might finally jump on Minecraft.

Halo? Dad in the water.
