Like bro it's a fucking toy, you would think that it's a religion the way these dingleberries talk.

Every major game company is greedy and terrible, your favorite gamer shit isn't any less mindless consumption-y than the gamer shit that you don't like.

It sucks because the whole industry is shitty and instead of acknowledging that they distract from the real problems facing the industry by squabbling about which souless company is the most souless.

The same kind of people complain when game industry workers try to unionize.

I always assume it's just children on Reddit that act like that... I hope.

I watched the official Nintendo trailer for the game and I couldn't get over the narrator speaking like she's addressing a kindergarten class.

I'm sure the game is fun but dang, it really made me feel like I was looking at an ad for the latest vtech console. I don't actually like 2d platformers though so its not even relevant for me. It was just a shock since I haven't watched an ad for a nintendo game in so long.

I think it depends on which game it is but Mario is definitely being aimed at a younger audience. The game is really fun though
