What's your least favorite thing about Nintendo?

[Officer Berri]

-Region lock
-Mario Party/Kart 23353535
-GIMMICK DEVICES
-Street Pass
-Nintendo Zones
-One Pokemon Games for the price of two if you wanna catch em all
-Let's release a bigger version of the 3DS after having the original out for a while. Lets release a new, more powerful 3ds right after making a cheaper version of the 3DS!
-Lets make people pay for backgrounds on their 3DS home screen. Let's tease the poor ones by making only one free: the sonic boom one.
-Lets ignore Metroid, F-Zero, and Star Fox. People only play Mario and Zelda right?
-Lets make figures of everyone! Now lets play the rarity game by making some harder to find than others~ Also lets make cards that you have to purchase blindly and get duplicates of.
-Who cares about those socially anxious introverts? Let's make games that require you to leave the house to get special things in them or require you to have friends!

Region lock. I want those japanese games and backgrounds (and badges!) without a need for a homebrew or another console where I have to get japanese region and mess around with payments!

 

[GuerreraD]

Right now? The fact they aren't pushing Camelot to make Golden Sun 4! :-( I've been waiting for so long!

this. really want new golden sun. it's such a good series. i also finally want golden sun games in the 3ds eshop. the fact that they are only out on the wiiu annoys me so much!!!!!!!!!! also general gba&ds games on the 3ds (still hoping it'll come with this new nintendo account thing, but idk :/)

region lock is annoying and not necessary..!
their localization policies and views over the years. if i hear one more "oh that's too japanese, people won't understand, it won't sell" and americanizing everything, leaving out japanese & international terms etc turning sushi into hamburgers ..(probably not but you get the idea..) and refusing to just introduce people to more complex stuff and educating.. (from what i've seen yokai watch does an ok job with this, but dunno)
they've gotten better at this, but it's still happening here and there..
lots of games still never leave japan..

about the streetpass/nin-zone stuff i agree, they should just handle this via everyone's wifi now. they could atleast let you get 3 free streetpass via wifi every day like they do in rumble world (and additional 3streetpasses for 1 play coin), there are so many people who aren't anywhere near a nintendo zone or spotpass
about anything else, i really don't think about it atm.

i don't like reggie.. and the ways people idolize him

their general baby-sitting and hand-holding of their users..

oh right how could i forget about their attitudes towards lgbt+
that they removed same-sex relationships from tomodachi life for their western release. they are so behind the times with these things it's unbelievable. is this the dark middle ages?
i saw some let's plays by some guy on youtube some time ago and he basically had to make a potential partner a girl dress her up and make her look like a boy to even simulate something remotely close.. idk.. so backwards..

guess i wrote more after all

the questions by which they determine wether youre a boy or girl in new leaf and other games are horrid and not ok..

 

[uwuzumakii]

Their inability to meet consumer demands for certain things.

Okay this is just wrong.
Same-sex marriage was never in the game EVER. There was a patch to fix a glitch in the japanese version of the game. The glitch had to do with save data, nothing relating to the gameplay. The "same-sex" marriage that was supposedly patched out was just people making someone the opposite gender so they could marry the "same" gender. (Which is what you said.)
http://m.ign.com/articles/2014/05/05/nintendo-on-gay-marriage-and-tomodachi-life
They have already said to include same-sex marriage in later games, but that may only be for the japanese release. They remove LGBT references in western versions because of other people in society finding if offensive, and theyre louder than the people supporting it, so Nintendo doesn't include it. Same reason for all of the censoring in games.

I don't support censoring of either, but it happens anyways and it's not really Nintendo's fault.

 

[shunishu]

ah i didnt realise or forgot that was a glitch, its been a long time ago now nvm and i do know they are trying but anyway.. the situation wasn't handled very well back then in their initial reaction from what i remember (and looking at the stories again now)..
what i was mostly trying to say with that is what you wrote as well and the localisation process(by NoA etc) and stuff like i said as i said it.. anyway its how i feel about it..

i worte about their perception of gender norms and roles too which clings into this too but anyway

 

[Serk102]

They're not making any games for Android or iOS, and I'm not talking about that bejeweled pokemon game, or that virtual reality stuff either. I to play mario on my phone.

But there is this Fantasy Life 2 coming to mobile... such a pity, by the way

This. Fantasy Life was amazing and I'm not sure why Yo-Kai Watch went to 3DS while the Fantasy Life sequel would go to mobile. Imo Yo-Kai could work as a mobile game.

Tell me about it... I loved Fantasy Life since the first minute playing, so of course I was enthrilled to know it would have a second game. Only to discover it won't be playable in my 3ds. Such a big disappoint.

There is actually a Yokai Watch mobile game in Japan. It's basically a tsum tsum clone with Yokai Watch mechanics in it.

 

[SockHead]

i would say some **** but they just announced pokemon gen 1 on eshop so i cant complain anymore

 

[Hyoshido]

These new free to play games that try and bait people into putting money onto them just to be "better" or have more things than others.

Kinda low of them tbh, if they made a great Mario game that's inspired by 64/Galaxy then that'd nab em LOADS OF CASH.

I think Yo-Kai could work great as a mobile app. Using the camera to find Yo-Kai in the "real world" and getting together with friends to battle or whatever. It'd be like how they're describing Pokemon Go, really.

Some of us still have our original Red/Blue cartridges.
I really wish they would do something about the original Green though. I was so confused when FireRed and LeafGreen came out since there wasn't a Green released before it. Lets just hope they keep everything the way it was for maximum nostalgia. That includes MissingNo, Nintendo.

MissingNo was the original Action Replay...

Well, Missigno wasn't supposed to exist since the very beginning, but nowadays it became such a legend that many people consider it the true pok?god (sorry Arceus).
And I didn't get into Pok?mon until Crystal so I could play as a girl, but I know for sure my best friend still keeps each and every version of the game she ever got, that including BOTH Red&Blue for GameBoy Thanks to her I was able to play Yellow when it was already out ot reach.

 

[Kristen]

the badge arcade really grinds my gears
why would I pay $1.25 for a chance to win badges to decorate my home screen with?
the only badges I have and will ever have are from free plays

edit: to clarify.. I don't particularly agree with irl machines like this either. at least in this case you get a real life thing you can use or play with. the badges aren't.

 

[Silversea]

Free to play games with microtranscations, would rather just pay full price for the full game. Pokemon shuffle was ok, you can get past it without microtransactions fairly simply without missing out on content (unless you started late and don't have good pokemon for the recent events/competitions). Picross and rumble world didn't give you access to everything because there was only a limited supply of currency in the games. Sure you can very slowly gain it, but the time that takes is so unreasonable it might as well not be possible.

This was really only a problem with Pokemon Picross for me. Further into the game you're basically forced to pay to move on. :/

 

[shunishu]

i wish you could just have an option to disable being harassed by the bunny about it every two seconds..
and just be able to decide yourself when something is worth spending on or not.

i didnt have any problems advancing in rumble world tho dunno, with the daily spotpass visitors and missions and the diamonds they give you sometimes during the balloon stages, it's possible. there are a bunch of passwords for diamonds around too..
it's enough for casual play anyway.. and they'll release the phsyical version soon that will already include a high number of pok? diamonds.

i still have my old pokemon cartidge too ^^
it's cool that they finally release it on the eshop. it's long overdue ^^. i hope tho, that they'll add online trading too and not just local. it's too bad that they don't release green as well, like they'll do in japan and the package with the cartridge magnet and world map.
