Seems like time and time again, Nintendo is always trying to sell games to an audience of people who do not wish to play video games. For a sequel, I figured Nintendo should focus on their core audience of Pikmin fans but it seems like they’re always changing things to appeal to people who don’t play games while in return alienating the people who want more sophisticated gameplay and challenges.

What are your thoughts?

    That’s the best. A lot of sequels are 80% the same controls and mechanics and sometimes I just need a reminder of that.

    Though some games could really use some form of really brief tutorial that just reminds me in a forgiving setting how to play, but doesn’t assume I need a lengthy and agonizingly slow tutorial. Civilization games don’t have that problem, but a lot of action games do. I’ll go back to the game cause a DLC is out and I can only remember bits and pieces of the controls and combat is way unforgiving cause it’s supposed to be end game DLC.

        Ugh, pokemon is the worst at this. They’ve somehow gotten only more handholdy. Yet they bizarrely don’t even try to explain the advanced concepts in most games (SV’s school was the first in game reference for some of those, though it’s still not that great of an explanation).
