Game designers using fluff to increase "fun"

NintendoDpad:
"Miyamoto is universal known for making some of the worlds most popular games. During a Iwata Ask segment about the new Punch-Out, Miyamoto gives his opinion on why games like Punch-Out are fun, and why new games being made today are not fun to begin with so they add fluff to the game to try and compensate."

I too wish games got back to the basics and were more addictive. New games don't seem to hold my interest as much as old ones used to.

However, to me, Killzone 2 felt like a real Killzone sequel, and not a milking cow

WOW! at 1.1... that comment surely had little to do with this... neways.

Yup gaming has gone too technical in the eye candy aspect and evolved to far too complex gaming dynamics and sometimes that combo just isn´t fun...

TruthbeTold5394d ago

Whatever happened to replay value outside of online modes?

Goomba125394d ago

Who needs replay value when you can't beat the game. Examples Contra, Ghosts N Ghouls, Megaman 2.

Games now not only have added "fluff", but are way to easy.

TruthbeTold5394d ago

Some of those games go a bit too far in the difficulty dept. Especially since sometimes that difficulty was due to crappy controls. Even so, a much better balance can be struck.

Goomba125394d ago

May be right, but back then that was the only way to really add replay value.

-Mezzo-5394d ago

No replay value in games these days. developers are focusing too much on Multi-player, well thats because of us US gamers.

like the mini games in zelda(bombachu/archery) & mario galaxy(ray surfing)? The extra challenges for wii sports/play? the stickers in SSB?

Or if fluff the fun stuff that keeps players coming back to games like tf2, halo 3 and cod4? Like great online with tons of different options...

a_squirrel5393d ago

Actaully, some of the time it is that stuff.

But minigames aren't fluff, it's a ----MINI-----GAME----

Everytime this retard opens his mouth, a bunch of stupid words leak out with his saliva.

Wiitards are indeed aptly named so.

6 Franchises Nintendo Needs to Resurrect on Switch

The Punished Backlog's David Silbert writes:

"Nintendo is widely known for its deep, eclectic well of beloved franchises. From The Legend of Zelda to Wrecking Crew, there’s no library in gaming as rich in history or as popular among fans.

2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for Nintendo, with representatives from Mario, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Pokémon all gracing the Switch platform before the year’s end. At the same time, there are still plenty of Nintendo franchises that lie dormant this generation, in desperate need of the “Switch treatment.”

While there are plenty of legendary series worthy of a revival, here are six in particular I would absolutely kill to see on Switch in the near future."

A new Golden Sun and Mother would be great, but I wish I wasn't the only one that wants a new StarTropics.

Kid Icarus on the 3ds needs to be remade in HD, that game was really fun, the controls were a tad awkward and I'd cramp up. It'd benefit from a more comfortable controller. I really enjoyed my time w it. Advance Wars is a no brainer, come on Intelligent systems!

CyberSentinel2193d ago

1)Earthbound
2)Punch Out!
3)Kid Icarus (2D Metroidvania style)
4)Star Fox

gangsta_red2193d ago

Kid Icarus has the potential to be another Zelda. The very first game came out at the same time Metroid did and had many of the same gameplay elements. I'm sure it could be updated into a Zelda open world format.

Einhander19712193d ago

F-zero, Pilotwings, Kid Icarus, Starfox, Luigis Mansion 3 for switch.
