Seems like time and time again, Nintendo is always trying to sell games to an audience of people who do not wish to play video games. For a sequel, I figured Nintendo should focus on their core audience of Pikmin fans but it seems like they’re always changing things to appeal to people who don’t play games while in return alienating the people who want more sophisticated gameplay and challenges.

What are your thoughts?

Most Nintendo games aren’t worth $60. Most console games aren’t worth $60.

I heard you can download and emulate Nintendo games for free and they play at better resolution and frame rate when emulated. I don’t know anything about that though….

Hollow Knight felt like a $60 game I got for $15.

I have 3,000 hours in RimWorld, almost no games are worth buying these days for me.

Oh come on, games don’t need ludicrous thousand plus hour play times to be worth the money.

… But I do still have 135 hours in Against the Storm, the last game I bought, just saying…

Haha I know, it’s just hard for me to find value in a game where I get less than 10 hours per dollar in these days. Like Skyrim, Fallout 4, Stardew Valley, and Terraria could all meet at least that.
