I aint bouncin no way no how!!
Because they do the things literally every good game designer should do?
o: ...
If not for Nintendo, do you realize how dead video games might've stayed during that time?
It only seems like common sense because it was done so well.
There weren't rocksteady rules for any of this!
The idea of training people before letting them undertake a more risky task existed long before this
Its just being applied to video games in this case
But without any instructions?
That's the genius.
No "Mario, you see those?"
Controller in your hand, character on screen, obstacles.
Teaching with just those. That was the incredible part.
@>Cytos, de lieve goede synth THIS is loss.
i was hoping someone would do this
I was having trouble with one of the bushes
and then I remembered my Super Mario Bros. trivia
and took a cloud.
you aint verified
get that shit out of here
clouds are bushes man
Games back then had instructions, but they werent always in the game
Usually they were in the acompanying manual
Also, I wouldn't call the trait of harnessing the brain's ability to learn from intuitive means a specifically Japanese trait.
Portal actually did a lot of the same sort of tricks.
aye, but they applied is masterfully in vidya first
like with megaman
All the best games could be played without supplemental material.
original
Mega Man X does the Mario level 1 thing.
Japan dominated the vidya industry early on anyway.
The only reason they got the opportunity to dominate it is because america dropped the ball as hard as it did.
A complete and total lack of quality control.
their loss
All the corporations could buy the big licenses and make game swith recognizable titles. But they weren't programmers. So they made ALL the worst games.
This constant trickery of good licenses having bad games, and parents just buying them based on license, it did meltdown eventually.
All those games hit bargain bins, and the companies that DIDN'T melt down didn't know what that meant.
It just made the same problem worse.
So Tim said he had to catch a plane in his second channel video yesterday
CHEAP bad games against NORMAL PRICED good games.
