I want a plot. I want the characters to talk to each other. I want it to feel like a cartoon when I’m playing. I don’t want mostly text based dialogue with weird pseudo-Banjo noises and maybe 2 actual cutscenes.
Im sorry for saying this but then go play a sony game. They do tons of character interactions

How do I fix my signature, or is it the site's fault?
The ones that are broken are not .png, or .anything except for bmp.
Find images that are .png or .jpeg to add on to your signature.
Press "Open link in new tab" if you want to see the link.

Can you get them to make more Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and Ape Escape please. Because unless someone brings those franchises back I have to come here to get new platformers.

Plus, we were specifically talking about the idea of a Nintendo developed Sonic game. I was illustrating why I think it’s a bad idea that wouldn’t fig the franchise.

I mean, even if it's just text, the characters are interacting with each other. It may not be grandiose or expensive CG cutscenes, but a story is still being told.

A story with very little effort being put into it. To the point they might as well not have it.

We all know Shigeru Miyamoto has something against stories, and arguably depth, in video games.

I don’t even understand your point. You tell me to go play Sony games and then you tell me they’re never making any more of those games. What are you suggesting Pump? That I just don’t play video games?

See this?
That Boshi icon works, because it is a .png image.
.png png.PNG
See this broken image?
AHHHH AWORK.PNG
This does not have a .png on it. Make sure the image has a .png on it or .anything that relates to an image besides .bmp.

Clarify this for me: Are you saying not animating cutscenes equals not putting effort into the story or are you saying you actually don't like the story of...
I was gonna put a specific example here but you seem to be Waving away every single example people have given you

That's completely irrelevant to the point I was making
so what exactly is your point here besides "people shouldn't be making memes about stuff because it's not constructive" because people are gonna meme everything in existence fam

people are going to express their general dislike towards the design with their funny images, and i'm sure there's plenty of focus groups, test audiences, and people online to tell them what exactly they don't like about the design

memes are inevitable

Miyamoto is fascinating because he did help shape Nintendo to what they are today but his ideas are very outdated lately with the idea that Paper Mario, beloved for the writing, shouldn't have a focus on the writing. Colour Splash was a step in the right direction but it was on the Wii U and people didn't believe they'd address criticisms

I’m specifically talking about Mario Odyssey and the First Splatoon.

I’m saying a combination of both.

Oh I think I read that wrong, were you saying make SONY make more of those games? My bad, yeah, idk why they arent making those games anymore. I think its mostly because they went away from the direction. So unless they wanna go back to platformers, everyone is stuck with story drived tps's

you're missing the point, faygo

memes must be constructive towards a better society

Yes. I was.

Hopefully the success of Crash and Spyro and the hopeful success of MediEvil gets them to dip their toe back into those beloved IPs.

You do realize Miyamoto isn't responsible for every Nintendo game, right?

Also, saying things like Majora's Mask or TTYD are low effort stories is a bit much. Writing something off because it's told through text is writing off a lot of good stories.

Mario's story isn't amazing or detailed, but there's still a story being told. Odyssey and Galaxy had a lot of love put into it in terms of storytelling.
Zelda, Metroid, and Star Fox are in the same boat.

Games like Kirby, DK, and Pokemon don't need a big story because they are designed to be accessible games and have cartoonish characters.

Paper Mario also had fantastic stories game 1 to 3 to go along with its music and gameplay.

Xenoblade Chronicles was like any other modern game with its story.

Nintendo games aren't as plot-driven as other companies but say there's none or little is off the mark.

edit: Miyamoto games only? His range is limited and sometimes outdated, but he was and is capable of delivering something with mainline Mario and Pikmin

Allright, neither of these games was really made for the story. I think your wish for a story heavy platformer is oddly specific

Like, take Mario Odyssey. They didn’t write a plot. Nothing happens in each kingdom. You just go there, get the thing, and leave. There are no arcs, no journey is gone on. There’s no drama.
'Cause that isn't the point of the game.

You're not playing for story, you're playing to have fun jumping around and exploring as Mario.

You want drama in a Mario game?

Just simply does not belong there.

Play Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid, Xenoblade, or Fire Emblem for that. Not Mario, DK, or Kirby.
