Your Opinion on Modern Day Nintendo Games being called "slop"

"What do you mean by slop?"
You may be asking, well I'm referring to the current era of Nintendo, the switch and switch 2 specially. If you need an example of this here's a video:
(I used Pokemon ZA as an example)


And honestly, I agree with some of the points made in this video.

I have a switch 2
But it's not because it was the shiny new thing from Nintendo, I got it because my old switch was run down. I had my old Nintendo switch 1 for almost a decade now. (God I'm getting old) and I got the switch two because my old switch ran like a GAMEBOY.

This meme is like perfect for my old switch.



But getting back on track, my experience with the switch two has been pretty alright, of course there's the obvious ones (runs great, and is an overall upgrade) but the games have been, mixed for me.

Let's address the elephants in the room.

Mario Kart World and Legends Z-A. When I was younger I LOVED Mario Kart and Pokemon, I'd play MKWII for hours on my wii u, and I'd always love playing Pokemon on my 3ds. But how do these games compare? They honestly don't, Mario Kart World is fine, but to me, it's style over substance, like the battle mode is so overlooked, and I promise you, I don't think we needed it to be open world. (I only used free roam ONCE). And Legends ZA, it's.. alright, I played it and genuinely enjoy it, but that's not when I'm NOT looking around for 15 minutes just for the next task, and that's the thing. it just got repetitive.

Summary and Final Thoughts

Nintendo's been getting a lot of hate, and RIGHTFULLY SO. But sometimes, I think that it gets to a point where people don't just hate Nintendo or the games, they hate the players and fans for even enjoying the series. So, in conclusion, out of all the switch 2 Games, Sonic Racing Crossworlds (not even a nintendo made game) and LUIGI'S MANSION (A GAME OLDER THAN ME) we're the most fun games I've played on the switch 2, do with that what you will.

Ngl Nintendo's hate recently was because of the prices we have been from the past year. We had Mario Kart World being $80 recently, and some of the stuff Nintendo made that costed lots of money, so thats why Nintendo got lots of hate recently.

Only using free roam once is insane, that's literally all of the single player content for me

They could have (and still can) do so much more with free roam. A full world battle Royale and a hide and seek mode would be imo great additions to help make the free roam feel like a great addition.

To add more fire to the flame he's 15 that's make your first pokemon game sun and moon that has 2 different versions sold for same price also MK8 is better game on the wiiu because it didn't a have dlc with tracks that have a complete art style switch so kid start putting fries in the bag

I respect your opinion, i genuinely do, but for your Pokemon point, sun and moon weren’t the first games with the same version, that was black and white 2, which were (correct me if i’m wrong) for the same price as their originals. And your MK8 point is fine sure, but I don’t see how it relates to the overall conversation. And also, please don’t try and bring up my age like it discredits my argument. I’m just trying to have a discussion about what people think of modern day nintendo, I can see how you use my age to bring up the games that I myself grew up with around the time, but i already stated that in my original post. If the point your trying to make is that nintendo games were slop from the era I started playing then I can (kinda) see your point.

I'm trying to say that Nintendo has been like this since you been playing those games.

I think this is a lot deeper of a sentiment than just the games being "slop".

There's no denying that people are upset at Nintendo right now, which I feel is deserved. Prices are going up EVERYWHERE which makes us as consumers feel betrayed and upset.The cost of living is going up, and that makes everything harder. So when Nintendo comes out with a 70 dollar rerelease of a Wii game or a 50 dollar amiibo, its hard to not feel at least a bit negative about the company.

That doesn't make their games necessarily slop though. I think that MK world definitely has its flaws, especially with its online, but DK Bananza looks super cool. I'm looking forward to playing it when I get a Switch 2. There are also some other games coming out that I'm excited for, like Splatoon Raiderz and the new Tomadachi Life.

I don't think the games are slop. I think it's just the poor business decisions that make it hard to root for Nintendo at the moment.

People bring up pokemon a lot with this stuff, but Nintendo doesn't make pokemon, game freak does and Nintendo's basically just the publisher.


that's missing the fact that, well, its actually 2 games.
honestly 35 dollars isn't that bad for Mario Galaxy. Its a pretty normal price form remasters/rerelases

tbh I don't think they're necessarily "slop", but some are kinda mediocre, MKWorld, Mario party jamboree and Kirby forgotten land's switch 2 editions are mediocre at best and Kirby Air Riders was really good. cant say much about pokemon za and Hyrule warriors cus I haven't played those games. and not sure if you're also counting Mario party jamboree and Mario wonder with this but I would say those were just mediocre, and this might be stretching but imma count Kirby forgotten land and Splatoon 3, forgotten land I havent finished but its mediocre and Splatoon 3 was good, but I wouldn't really say any of these were "slop" though

Because those were entirely new games, whereas Ultra Sun & Moon were remasters a la Platinum
