Never have I felt this much anger over a videogame announcement.
Miyamoto went from being the most creative game director for 20 years to being most overrated hack in the past 10 years

How the fuck did it happen

>Posting Kotaku clickbait
This here is the real reason
>"Tanabe: Yeah. With regard to the story, we did a survey over the Super Paper Mario24 game in Club Nintendo25, and not even 1% said the story was interesting."
Would it be so hard to make TTYD HD just so most people are happy? Give it Sticker Star's graphic aesthetic if they feel need to push it and make the game "new".
>falls for clickbait
>>329688796
It began in 1995.

>No one liked SPM's story
>The void gets bigger in every chapter
>The void swallows an entire world whole you're in it
>Chapter 2 was mysterious, had you being a slave, was a cool premise
>Chapter 3 had /v/ incarnate, plus a cool art style, Dimentio really getting his BS started
>Chapter 5 flips your expectations over, has good characters, the cave was the best dungeon
>Chapter 7 is easily the best, the Underwhere and Overthere had the most atmosphere in the entire game
If Sticker Star had a story half as good with more than, like, 2 recognizable original characters, it would've been fine. But they trashed everything.

I liked the story. Most of the people who used that survey weren't even fans, just casual people who played the game. Basically the casuals fucked over Paper Mario by not giving a shit about the story.
Miyamoto is locked in his ways.
How lucky are we that Square got to make SMRPG at the peak of their power level?
Source? I think this is not the real story.

old age is a bitch, aint it?
>>329687921
Didn't he make them change up Super Paper Mario too, to distance it from TTYD?
>>329689213
Miyamoto had literally nothing to do with Virtual Boy.
>>329691632
Googled it because I wanted to back you up, he fucking did
>>329691476
No, they wanted to do something different, to push story a little more. This was in a Nintendo Power interview back in 2007. They even said they would go back to the old formula when they were finished with this, which is the main reason I was open to playing it.
>>329688976
These fucking people have lost their touch
The story is nothing special but it's still the main excuse for the action and RPG-ing, and ditching it completely undermines every other aspect of the game
>>329688113
He and the rest of Nintendo management just got old and out of touch with the industry.
>Legacy dev abandons story
>FOR THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM!

I hate to break it to you but you are the cancer here, friend. You're mad that a video game didn't have a good enough story for you, while instead offering a brand new experience that, while being in a more generic setting, had brand new gameplay and level design and a focus on puzzles (in other words actually playing the game and not walking go every major town just to talk to one guy). What do you want them to do? TTYD already expanded on 64 in every way (though I feel wasn't as good), they did what they could with the series and it's time to move on.
>>329688113
Explain
>>329693194
The irony.
>>329693194
They should try making a good game
>>329691002
There isn't one. People are convinced scary Miyamoto ruined IS who can obviously do no wrong.

>As a result of increasing competition for internal resources alongside the flagship Nintendo 64, Virtual Boy software development proceeded without the company's full attention, and with very little involvement by lead game designer Shigeru Miyamoto
>>329692432
The story was flimsy nonsense, but the characters and dialogue and shit involved were exceptional.
>>329689213
Miyamoto didn't do shit with the Virtual Boy, that was all Gunpei Yokoi. Ironically, it's the only flawed project he ever made.
>>329693194
The gameplay in Paper Mario has never been nor will it ever be anything more than functional and alright. It's fun, that's all it needs to be. What made Paper Mario good was the characters and the distinct feeling of having an adventure. Every chapter had you going somewhere new, meeting peculiar new characters, and doing something different.
Participating in a fighting tournament? Being a detective on a train? Getting your body stolen from you by a ghost? Fighting your way out of the underworld all the way into heaven? Those were the things that made the game great.
>>329696996
Much of that has to do with the thing being rushed out the door against the guy's wishes when it still needed a good deal of work, anyway.
>>329689557
/v/ is the kind of person who thought you had to actually grind out the debt in the second chapter and didn't find out about the vault until later
>>329698057
There's no way anyone actually grinded out the debt right? It was some astronomically high number that tipped me off that there was another way right away.
