I would assume Konami is happy for any positive news considering their current situation. Compared to, say, SquareEnix, which apparently is a hassle to work with.

As long as Konami is able to make any money off the stuff they own, they'll be fine even though they drove away their talented game devs that could have made new games for them. As for Square-Enix, their difficulty is partially why I think Geno isn't worth it. Ultimately its another Mario character that isn't owned by Nintendo. Even more damning are the facts that he's already a Spirit in the game (which could deconfirm him as a DLC fighter) and that they could easily release the Geno Mii Costume from Smash 4.

According to Akamatsu, Konami placed profits above all else, and developers who weren’t creating games that made lots of money were all eventually axed one-by-one. A number of them went on to do great work at Square Enix.

That's just Inafune almost killing Capcom because he convinced the brass that no one likes their japanese games and wanted more Lost Planet and DmC DMC 5 only exists because Itsuno threatened to quit because he had nothing to do and Capcom gave him his pick of any project to do.

King of Solomon posted:Smash Bros was originally going to be a different game. Captain Falcon's moveset was developed as the boss character's moveset, if I remember correctly. Then, when it became Smash Bros, they used the existing assets and mapped that moveset onto Falcon. Well, we were just talking about that they'd make up poo poo from scratch at all. Quality is completely unimportant. You aren't wrong though that Fox's poo poo is way better than Falcon's poo poo. Even if Falcon's poo poo later became canon in F-Zero.

People have found what they think is Sakurai's Switch account and are now rioting because Three Houses isn't on it, so thus Sakurai lied. Again, I stress they think it's Sakurai's. I can't imagine why anyone would think this franchise's fanbase is full of whining idiots.

Playing devil's advocate just for a moment, Japanese developers did go through a rough spot at the start of that generation where they seemed like they just weren't ready for the jump to HD development. All those articles and think pieces were still stupid though. Having Inafune there egging them on really didn't help matters.

I can agree with that to some extent, but those issues aren't because of a lack of taking inspiration from western game design. Like when I think of some of the more divisive games from that era, its stuff like Final Fantasy 13 or Resident Evil 6 that specifically did take cues from what was popular in the west or an attempt to appeal to westerners.

If anything it's Western game development that was utterly dire throughout that era, with the jump to HD development mostly resulting in AAA stagnation and the only innovation being investing in new ways to make people keep spending money on a game they already own, and lots of dull brown and bloom (sometimes magenta) games about scowling hairy dads shooting people. Game journalists are generally wrong about everything.

Nintendo def had the right idea seeing the entire game journalism industry eagerly prognosticating their doom at every opportunity and deciding to cut them out of the equation entirely because it turns out they can literally just post videos on youtube without needing an american failson to talk over them Smash Bros is basically becoming a wildlife preserve for well known video game characters whose original devs don't give the slightest poo poo about them anymore, between, the Belmonts, Banjo and Kazooie, Mega Man, Pac-Man, and basically Sonic given his franchise would be better off dead

I think the Japanese devs who transitioned better to HD during that period were the ones who just kept making games that were deliciously japanese. Or Nintendo, but they cheated by entering into HD much later on.

remember when he invited Toby Fox to Japan to smash some bros and put Sans in the game because of it or the time he actively encouraged people to buy an Xbox on a Nintendo stream so that they can play Banjo Kazooie or when he spent the bulk of the Terry direct discussing his collection of Fatal Fury/KoF action figures or when he taught us all a "count in binary" lifehack
