Made the mistake of looking at the Switch eShop tonight and got very angry at the state of slop

BlazeHedgehog @blazehedgehog8/28/2024, 9:55 AM

A friend lamented that there are no more normal golf games anymore, they always have to have a wacky fantasy twist and be some version of mini-golf. Since he said that I can't stop thinking about it every time I see a new golf game, and there's TONS on the eShop. I found something called "Hentai Golf" and joked it was probably the most normal golf game released in the last year

Turns out: it absolutely is

It is also only rated T for Teen for "Suggestive Themes" so I can all but guarantee you there is no nudity in the game whatsoever. At worst you might get some cutesy "teehee can you help me with my stroke? ♥😉" dialog

There are literally hundreds of "Hentai" and "Ecchi" games like this, if not thousands

And Disney's okay with this?

I am absolutely not okay with this.

Why are King Triton's nipples pink?

"BID BATTLE - Auction War Simulator Storage Hunter" seems awesome though, just for the title alone

I appreciate the clipart pickup truck has the license plate "HULKSTR"

FWIW, if you're looking for a normal golf game, I was pleasantly surprised by Super Video Golf. https://fallahn.itch.io/super-video-golf

Not on Switch though, alas.

I can attest to it being a pleasantly normal golf game and worth the price of admission. (Most of the faux retro effects can also be turned off individually if that's any kind of a dealbreaker.)

what the hell happened to nintendo’s quality control

BlazeHedgehog @blazehedgehog8/28/2024, 1:02 PM

Reggie made a comment on the Wii U that Nintendo didn't need indies, that offended a lot of people (rightfully so), and in response Nintendo threw open the gates and never looked back.

Eric @MOKKA8/28/2024, 4:45 PM

Quality control was always about making sure the games ran, never about making sure they were any good.
The fact that this myth persists shows how well their marketing worked.

🍉Hutch2Much💫@hutch2much8/28/2024, 7:11 PM

i mean i’m not saying every game with nintendo’s stamp of approval was good im just saying idk why this became such an issue NOW

Eric @MOKKA8/28/2024, 7:17 PM

It's much cheaper to figure out a way to get your game on a digital storefront than putting it on a cartridge and onto shelves.
These things have nothing to do with "quality control" and so much more with proper curation and search tools.

SnepShark @SnepShark8/29/2024, 3:25 AM

The Wii U and 3DS eShops were filled with this sort of junk too. I imagine there only wasn't quite as much due to the lower potential return due to the lack of people browsing the Wii U/3DS eShops and the fact you couldn't generate AI spam last gen like you can now.

I've worked on casual point & click / hidden object games in the past and it's so sad if this is what they look like nowadays.
