"We always want the best talent but we're going to hire based on skin color and sexual degeneracy instead."
I want to lose weight but I'm going to eat only pizza and ice cream.
You could probably lose weight on pizza and ice cream if you ate in moderation, but they're going to gorge on it instead.
Nintendo of America's CEO is named Bowser? Please stop the Clown World, it's gone too far Clown.
They did a cute little animation with the Koopa King being silly when they made the announcement. This distracted most of us from the fact that ol' Doug used to work for EA.
Bowser was the vice president of EA during a time when people called EA the worst company in America

He has been that for a few years now, it was a huge meme at the time after Reggie, the viral icon he was, was literally replaced by a Bowser.
NoA has always been the bastard millstone dragging NoJ down, and that is unlikely to ever change. They pushed all the blame on Treehouse (deserved) in the 2010s and managed to save their own skins, but they will always be one of the biggest failures of their entire organization.
Not that NoJ is perfect or innocent, but they are terrible in the way all Jap businesses usually are.
100% true. Nintendo of America has basically only ever been a detriment to the whole company and video games as a whole.
What does NoA do other than pozz shit from NoJ?
American Corporate gaming companies should be criminalized for terrorism.
All game development should be privately owned.
I don't want Nintendo to be composed of a diverse pantheon, I want it to be a bunch of smart and creative Japanese people making Japanese games that other countries will also happen to enjoy.
DEI is the default state of gaming for AAA, even Ubi won’t change and they’re about to go under. There’s absolutely no reason to believe Nintendo will change course even if the switch 2 flops with the price hike and likely dlc increases.
Not a chance (changing OR flopping). Switch 2 is going to be sold out for months.
Retards are already preordering that junk heap in droves.
Japanese companies being famously slow to adapt means they're going to be driving straight into post-GamerGate 2015 diversity just as Trump made it legal to put boobs and white people back in video games.
The source is this article. Which the original source was some Brazillian site that has a paywall.
I suspect nintendo is due for a massive regression towards the mean. Buildings don't make things, people do, and nintendo is built on the efforts of a few exceptional people that are products of their time and circumstances. You can't just get new revolutionary geniuses from wherever, especially if you value anything else above talent.
NoJ has been pretty good about training their next generation of talent actually. Splatoon was an idea that originated from their newer staff. Most of the recent Mario and Zelda games have been using more ideas from Koizumi than Aonuma or Miyamoto. In fact, Miyamoto basically doesn't do anything in the game side of the company anymore other than advising, so he's practically retired but cant really even hint at retiring without tanking the stock price.
Japanese game studios are the exception I guess, not a whole lot of diversity there and they do just fine
IIRC the only shred of diversity in Nintendo properties is in Creatures Inc, the company tasked with designing all the Pokemon and Pokemon's human characters
All Nintendo games are being censored during development. Xenoblade 3 had a character that was initially white and they made him black.
Fucking die, then, nintendont.
Fuck Nintendo then, I guess.
Oh who am I kidding, I haven't played a Nintendo product in decades. I'm not the target audience, kids are, and that's the problem.
