There’s been some talk with Far Cry 5 that Ubisoft’s game is being political based on its setting. The National approached Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime about the situation, and his response was hardly surprising.

“Making political statements are for other people to do,” he said. “We want people to smile and have fun when they play our games.”

The other companies can learn a thing or two.

Fuck yeah, that's why we can get girls like Twintelle and Pyra from Nintendo games tbh. I just feel like they're the only ones making attractive female characters anymore. I'm sure people will prove me wrong, oh yeah 2B is a great recent example actually.

But yeah aside from that, their stance is admirable.

Honestly Ubisoft AAAs are the most boring and generic big games out there

Just a reminder that Nintendo censors things like harmless dresses



Other companies learning from Nintendo would be a disaster

Can someone tell me how shooting up a crazy religious cult is a political statement? Is the statement that crazy cults are bad?

that's why nintendo games will never be taken seriously as an artistic medium, and will forever be relegated to the gimmicky kiddie game genre

Games aren't art

They combine visual art, musical arts, and the art of storytelling.

They are factually art.

It incorporates various art forms. But the core purpose is entertainment

This guy so triggered by Nintendo he's arguing in favor of political statements in video games.

they absolutely are

No

Video games are video games

They are not art and most certainly not sports

The villain is white and American so clearly it's political

Same as every other artform. Made to entertain.

Resident Evil 4 is as much art as the Mona Lisa is.

Everybody stop arguing with Marth. The only art he knows are the anime figures he buys with his welfare checks

Really? Mona Lisa's purpose to me is to capture the idea of subtle beauty and immortalize it. RE4 is to deliver an ass-kicking zombie killing action. It's hardly the same thing. For another, Mona Lisa's only input required is interpretation. In RE4, the player paints much of its action as the creators. It's fundamentally different

you are wrong

factually, objectively wrong

Calling video games "art" makes no sense because they have more than just art in them.

Same with calling them sports. Video games are fucking video games.

I honestly don't know why besides RebelElite's shitposting. I once made a joke topic called "dat white genocide tho" or something back when old white people on facebook started believing it was a thing and he brandishes me as a stormfronter ever since

I'll remove it.

what is this post? what do you think people ITT topic mean when they say "art"? pictures? the definition of art is magnitudes deeper than what you think it is.

The visuals, music, stories. That's the art

There's also the part you fucking play. That's the game

Put it all together and you've got a video game. Not art.

nintendo has the proven business model and they constantly make money while other companies take losses. playstation is the best overall platform imo but nintendo is a proven brand and i buy every new one because they have the best first party titles by far

hes right, the entire reason to play games is to have fun

Nintendo is completely right >_> I'm glad to hear they're not doing any political shit.

I hate to agree with Marth but this.

Also didn't they censor one of the romances in FE Birthright/Conquest completely for political reasons?

this topic's title will probably remain the worst thing i've read today, but on another note yeah, games aren't art

ArcSys Works have best girls. Baiken, Elphelt, Nine, Jack O, I No, etc etc

Of course that statement undermines their whole entire history as a video game publisher. They've been SJWs before that was even a concept. You should check out what that seal they put on their games actually entails.

if games can't be art than neither can movies or music

...Why was Nintendo even contacted in this story? Why is this even a story?

I think they changed it to avoid political issues.

Not required for common knowledge. Most of us were old enough to be there for the Nintendo/Sega wars and how Nintendo differentiated itself from the competition.

Well it is consistent with Nintendo's philosophy, they try their best not to offend anyone which is why their games tend to be free of any "modern" political settings. Which is why they would censor the a lot of their games when it comes to the west.
