Okay so, whenever I say the 90's were the golden years, people just claim its some kind of nostalgia. It's not nostalgia, I have proof this time.
Okay so, never in my life have I played Super Mario Kart until the late 2010's. So I don't have nostalgia of playing it. In the late 2010's I heard the Super Mario Kart soundtrack for this first time. And I thought it was otherworldy and amazing. Can't be nostalgia since it was after 2010 when I first heard the soundtrack.
Let's talk about Splatoon. Splatoon saved my soul, every morning I'd wake up depressed. Anti-depressants would only make it worse. But this morning I said no, I am not going to go on facebook, I am not going to be bullied by social media, I am doing escapism, I am not going to be Of this world I am going to be happy for once, finally one day of my life I will be happy. So I loaded up Splatoon. I never had played Splatoon before but I always wanted to. And let me tell you, it saved my soul.
The soundtracks were otherworldy, weird like Metroid Prime. Nintendo is quality, not quality. Xbox is quantity, not quality. Real gamers play Nintendo. Nintendo hires the best artists possible, all of their work is of utmost quality.Xbox is American. But even some American games can be good. For example, Cruisin USA is America done right. Yes the physics were horrible. But the music was American and goodly.
And let me explain some stuff. It is not nostalgia because, the electric Guitar of Cruisin USA is more special than newer guitars. If you listen closely, the guitar is soft like a square wave. It is soothing to the ears. Newer guitars are too HD and too grating on the ears.
It is not that it is nostalgia. But that it is objectively better for real reasons. For example, I played Forza Horizons, it felt like it was sucking out my soul. Everything about it felt ungodly. (Roger Moore, of the Saint, calls certain things "ungodly", you have to be a cultured person to understand.) It just felt zombified, like it was about billionaires experiencing an existential void, a Xanadu mansion kind of game.
And that brings me back to Splatoon. It is just, better than Sunset Overdrive. Sunset Overdrive is Americanized, uncultured bile. Why is Splatoon better? Because every element of the game is high quality. It doesn't even matter how insignificant. The more high quality components you will add, the more high quality you will feel. It has to all work like clockwork, like a machine. You can't have great graphics, but bad gameplay and bad music. And Nintendo does the job, time and time again, bringing innovations to the table and beating the sloppy, uncultured people at making games. Splatoon brings high quality, innovative music to the table. The graphics of Splatoon are HD and next-gen, without being annoying and plastic looking like many so called HD games. The graphics of Sunset Overdrive hurts my eyes. And the shooting mechanics of it are dated, and hard to shoot. Splatoon just feels inherently fun to play.
A game, should feel inherently fun to play. It is meant to be a vacation from reality. If it is less enjoyable than reality, then what is the point of the game? Each component of the game should be inherently good. Just walking around, jumping up and down, feels good to me. In Sunset Overdrive, it feels clunky, and the shooting is hard to see enemies. And just the environment of Splatoon makes me feel alive. Sunset Overdrive is the opposite, it feels like decay, like it makes me feel more depressed than before. And they put so much more fun surprises in Splatoon, like unique bosses. In Sunset Overdrive, all the enemies are Americanized, generic, like just generic movers with different models.
And lets look how America has been on a steady downhill since the 90's. Here is NIcktoons of the 90's, compared to today:
And look at Spongebob and the Simpsons (the same argument applies to Spongebob):
Icons of the 90s:
Icons of today:
And Xbox culture is super macho, like everything is some HD pic of some manly man in a space armor.
And its so macho it feels lame and sterile. Nintendo feels like a different type of testosterone, like it is game juice. Xbox culture feels like balding, DHT testosterone with a side of game juice. Nintendo feels like primarily, game juice. And lets look at people, specifically. When you look at Reggie Reg, you see a fun guy. The guy that you feel in your heart, yes lets get excited about games. Same with Shigeru.
And XBOX you just see, corporate, cubicle types. The type you don't normally associate with the word "Fun". The types that are politically correct and follow social trends and rules.
(This is the hipster capitalist type, the kind of man who dominates America.)
Ironically, Nintendo is the company that started out trying to make Love Hotels (escort pickup centers) they have always been about having a good time, letting loose of the rules. And yes, that is also why Rockstar is a great company. I wasn't a big fan of GT5, but lets be honest, I would play GT5 over that crappy ripoff game on Xbox One (I couldn't find the name, because Google is getting increasingly sucky and won't find anything for me.)
Splatoon feels like, Nintendo is a hot blooded teen who is not afraid to innovate. A true testament to the Gamecube years, where Nintendo dared to make things fresh. Nowadays, everything just feels stale and dead, corporate, stagnated, obedient, Orwellian/Draconian. It is Orwellian/Draconian because games are no longer about Art, but about only money. Thinktanks of no talent dictate to us and brainwash us into playing games we never wanted or asked for. For example, crapware/shovelware like Roblox, Mincraft, Terraria, etc. Games that offer open worlds, endless customization, but no reason to want to build: Quantity instead of quality.
Games like Splatoon are true works of art. There is no training manual, no cheap online guide, that tells you how to make great games like Splatoon. You can only make those games through mind-altering drugs or deep soul-searching, looking up to the stars on a starry night.
Also the name of the GTA ripoff was, APB reloaded, I remember it now.
Still Nintendo is guilty of many sins. It's Wii U shop is spectacularly awful, also, they owe me 5 dollars and never paid, and here is a video showcasing the downward trend of modern graphics:
