Why were DS sequels much worse than their GBA predecessors?

>Partners in Time was worse than Superstar Saga>Phantom Hourglass was worse than Minish Cap>Prime Hunters was worse than Fusion>Kirby Squeak Squad was worse than Amazing Mirror>Dark Dawn was worse than Golden Sun 1+2>Advance Wars became worse>Starfy became worse>Pokemon became worse>Master of Disguise was worse than Wario Land 4>No Mario Tennis and Golf gamesAnd so on, why were many DS titles so shit?

>>523528472>>Pokemon became worseBut Gens 4 and 5 were peak Pokemon

With DS they targeted a way more casual westernised audience. Not japanese.

>>523528563Fuck off zoomer, they were seen as a huge stepdown compared to Hoenn, only retarded zoomies like you like the DS ones because you grew up with them.

I think Nintendo stopped trying because the DS was doing super well. There's seriously no excuse for Phantom Hourglass looking like ass when Beyond the Yellow Brick Road exists.

>>523528717Fuck off zoomer, they were seen as a huge stepdown compared to Johto, only retarded zoomies like you like the GBA ones because you grew up with them.

>>523528472Everything was based around the double screen gimmick rather than being a normal ass game

>>523528856Gen 1 and Gen 2 were the peak, indeed.

>>523528717>>523528856Niggas relax, we all know Pokemon didn't go downhill until X/Y, I fucking loved Crystal, Emerald, HG/SS and BW2.

>>523528472>the same console that had Heartgold, Sould Silver and BW2>pokemon became worse

>>523529050>quantity = quality

>>523529080This isn't /vp/, you don't have to pretend to hate the DS to fit in.

>>523529185Gen 3 was more revotuolnary

>>523528472>>Dark Dawn was worse than Golden Sun 1+2>one game is worse than two games combinedwewew

>>523529185But /vp/ is full to the brim of people who grew up with the DS. Hating the DS there is basically just a bait to make the zoomers angry there.

>>523529574I fucking loved gen 3, I remember seeing the early leaks of duskull and latios/latias. Good times.

Pokefag shitposting aside, ever noticed how a lot of series just died after the DS?

>>523529690Golden Sun 1+2 is one game, they just released them seperatly due to limitations, like Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

>>523528472Partners in time was good.Phantom Hourglass was shit because of that one dungeon you had to do over and over again. Spirit tracks was better. Actually fun.True for metroid. True for kirby.Dark Dawn was really good. Other points are shit opinions.

>>523528717He’s correct. DS games had less Pokémon to collect

>>523529050BW wasn't even good.Gen 2 was peak pokemon and ofc the remakes would be good.The DS probably had a lot of bad games because all the quality was poured into 999 and ghost trick

>>523528472>Partners in Time was worse than Superstar Sagalol?

>>523529185>Unovabortion HQ>hating the DS gamesUh what?

>>523528472The DS had a based library, if anything the 3ds was the one that released a shitton of mediocre titles and probably the worst from each nintendo ip, excdpt maybe ALBW and 3D land

>>523528472epic bait

>>523528958fuck off zoomie, the pokemon games were never good. theyre piss easy and boring as hell

>>523528563>gen 5>peakI recently realised that kids who grew up with Gen 5 are like 17 or 18 now and are posting on this website. Gen 5 sucks, little boy. You're just too nosalgia blind to see it.

>>523528472Those are all first-party games. Nintendo were the ones phoning it in, a lot of the third-party stuff was great.

>>523528472Days of Ruin is fantastic.

>>523528472>Why were Nintendo published sequels much worse than their GBA predecessorsFixed. Most Japanese companies absolutely killed it on the DS.

>>523531326Yes, until I cover all the consoles imaginable, tomorrow will be why 3DS sequels are shit compared to DS

Oh shit, forgot to add that Fire Emblem was worse in DS as well, GBA ones were amazing, DS ones were fucking awful.

>>523531730>DS ones were fucking awfulspoken like a true pleb that got filtered by the graphics. 11 is solid, and 12 is one of the best games in the series. 3DS was where it went downhill for FE, even if conquest has great maps.

>>523528472One word: Castlevania. Except Dawn of Sorrow.

>>523531916They almost killed the franchise

>>523532062One wasn't even released outside Japan and the other was marketed like dogshit even though it WAS released outside Japan(kinda like 9 and 10). Just because they didn't sell well doesn't mean they aren't good games.

>>523531632absolute retard zoomer opinion. the 3ds has no games.

>>523528472>Dark Dawn was worse than Golden Sun 1+2It wasn't worse. The issue was it was the same shit.

>>523531638Well user I gotta hand it to you at least you're determined

>>523532502>oomer retard thinks the 3ds didn't have good gamesI'm surprised you didn't post a wojak considering your post was as retarded as someone who typically posts them.

>>523532062>They almost killed the franchisePoR and RD almost killed the franchise. The DS games, while selling better, wasn't enough to save the franchise until Awakening.

>>523531997Order of Eclessia was amazing, and Portrait of Ruin was pretty good (art style notwithstanding).On the other hand, the only excellent Castlevania game on GBA was Aria of Sorrow. Circle of the Moon was clunky as fuck and Harmony of Dissonance was just meh.

>>523532675>didnt name 3ds gameslemme guess you were gonna name nu pokemon but decided against it because you realized that was all the 3ds had. what else did it have? the oot and majora remakes? pathetic

>>523532746awakening is weeb shit, and the beginning of the end for FE

>>523528472>prime hunters worse than fusionFusion is a shit Metroid game to begin with, so it was actually an improvement

>>523532931Maybe, but that's not what I was talking about.

>>523528472Squeak Squad was leaps and bounds better than Amazing Mirror, the hell are you talking about? And yeah, Partners in time is worse than Superstar Saga, but Bowser's Inside Story is undeniably the best entry in the series. And Pokemon Gen 5 and the Gen 2 remakes are probably the best the series ever got honestly.

>>523532860Why would I need to? I know what people like you are like. I could post any game and you'd call it shit for whatever reason. This isn't fucking 2011-2012 anymore, the 3ds has a fuckton of great games now and acting like only a "zoomer" would think that is beyond retarded.

>>523532860You're nuts if you think the 3DS library has nothing going for it.

Mega Man ZX was much worse than the Zero series.

>>523533036imagine coping this hard lmao >you'd just say theyre all shitwell, maybe thats because... theyre shit?

>>523532769I agree with everything you said. Only Dawn felt weaker than Aria, PoR and OoE were amazing.

>>523533130>wow youre so silly, youre being a real stupid head poop-erinoyour words cut deep

>>523533751Fusion's atmosphere is completely ruined by excessive dialogue and handholding. The whole experience is made worse by how excessively linear the entire thing is. The only 2d Metroid worse than it is the original.

>>523528717Gen 3 was shit and emerald fixed it. I would rather play DP than RS if I was forced to play one of the first revision games.

>>523534346The dialogue and handholding really isn't as bad as you're trying to play it off as. But you're a "muh atmosphere" fag anyway.

>>523528472>Advance Wars became worseHope you're talking about Dual Strike because DoR was the shit.

>>523535778Because I was listing all the first party sequels like OP implied. Not counting Phoenix Wright most of he DS best games were standalone/spinoff games like SMT Strange Journey or series that started on the DS like Layton, Rune Factory, Devil Survivor etc. But Nintendo really dropped the ball on first party offerings.

>>523535134This.On the contrary, I loved Black 2 most because it really fixed the Unova region being boring and actually added lots of new routes and you start on them too, with postgame being routes from the first versions. B2/W2 was a decent and needed shakeup that excited me for the future of Pokémon, along with challenge mode and the Black Tower was fun and easy to grind with since Pokémon there were high level... then they did a full 180° and it's been downhill ever since XY.

>>523528472Metroid Prime Hunters multiplayer is extremely fun and I wish it was still active. I'd do anything to play it online with a community.

>>523542297>>523542416Might also add, I played in nipponese first. So I don't have the same issue like others seems to have with the game.

>>523528472>Prime Hunters was worse than FusionWorse single player? Easily, but Hunters had some great multiplayer until the cheaters made online unbearable.

>>523531128Nigger I started at Gen 1 and think BW2 is one of the best in the series.

>>523542459Gen 5 sold pretty poorly relative to other Pokemon games, so it showed to them effort doesn't pay off.

After the Wii was released, Nintendo's marketing went full retard and casualized most of its games. The GBA sold about half as much as the DS family, but if you compare average sales per year before being outmoded, the GBA outperformed the DS.

Arguing about whatever portable console got better first party titles doesn't obscure the fact all Nintendo handhelds are awful and had no good games overall.

>>523546121Ahahaha like clockwork. PSP and Vita are terrible too. Nice try though.

>>523542459>>523543231>>523542782Was the second game that much better? I never played it, since I never played any 3rd game in any generation, since I always assumed they were just the same game again with a few bonus areas and features. gen 5 was my favorite because you didn't have access to any old pokemon until after you beat the game. I had to learn everything again and it made the game feel fresh again.

>>523540741Partners in Time is absolute dogshit.>Battles bogged down by the babies>No world to explore, Toadsworth just sends you directly from dungeon to dungeon>Bros moves replaced by consumable items so you have to grind for money to buy them to beat up the HP sponge bosses>dogshit "humor" like getting vored by a huge yoshi or the internet Hammer Bros>Shroobs can't even speak when half the appeal of Mario RPG games is banter with the bad guysEven if you don't think its awful, PiT is a downgrade from SS across the board.

>>523545829>But the actual world design was pretty shitty.Nah, circle memes aside had a hell of a lot to explore if you weren't trying to blitz the game especially when it came to BW2 which is still one of the larger pokemon games in regards to explorable areas.

>>523542281By a metric mile. 1 is an okay game, but nothing special. 2 is a godawful travesty. Probably the second worst MM game, behind X7. 3 was actually pretty good, but the series was already dead by that point.

>>523533961>never heard of itslit your throat faggot

>>523534161This is Holla Forums user. The conversation doesn't matter as long as you "win".

>>523546348BW2 feel like different games than BW, altough on the same region

>>523545662ewwwwwwww

>>523546348BW2 is widely considered better, but it's most appreciated if you played the first since it's a straight up sequel. It's like playing gen II before gen I, you'll have a good time but you won't fully appreciate Kanto until you've experienced the original.

>>523546348Play Challenge Mode or play through the Pokemon World Tournament and then come back and ask.

>>523528563BASED

>>523535134This but I turn 30 this year. Black/white and their sequels are the closest I del to playing yellow for the first time

>>523528472>prime hunters isn’t even the same genre as fusion>pokemon got the physical special split and arguably peaked lole

>>523546995Fuck off, Power Tennis is better

>>523528472Too many shitty gimmicks: Rub daddy's bottom screen.Now, blown in the mic like a good little slut. Good, good.

>>523548736This is your brain on porn you slut!

>>523531128>Wojack poster is retardedWho would have guess?I played Red when it came out and didn't play another until Y. HGSS, Plat, and B2W2 are the best games with B2W2 being my all-time favorite.

>>523528472>Advance Wars became worseDays of ruin is the best advanced wars game. The tonal shift just filtered out retards like you

>>523548736Funny

>>523549645>t. the kids who grew up with DoRIt's just so corny, at least the originals don't take themselves so seriously to the degree that it becomes unbearable to sit through.

>>523528717Uh no, it was seen as a return to form by most. DP were the biggest Pokemon games ever at the time and they retained almost all of the features RSE had. It was the last gen that actually built on all the previous ones without arbitrarily cutting a bunch of shit.

>>523528472>Phantom Hourglass was worse than Minish CapMinish Cap was made by Capcom, the GBA equivalent of Phantom Hourglass would have to be Four Swords Adventure.

>>523528472>Pokemon became worseBull fucking shitDPPt and HGSS are much better than RSE anf FRLG

>>523528717Hoenn is the worst generationEven Sword & Shield are better

>>523528472They weren't. Pokémon factually went downhill at Gen 5 but up from 3 to 4.

>>523528563Gen 4. Gen 5 was sliding down the hill fast.Only Gen 8 slid further away from the previous game and that's because it did what Gen 5 did but worse.

>>523528472Minish cap was dog shit

>>523528472>Pokemon became worse>when Gen 4 is the absolute peak of the franchise in terms of spinoffs and mainline

>>523528472>>Kirby Squeak Squad was worse than Amazing MirrorTrue but squeeky squad had fantastic art. Also they released superstar ultra which was one of if not the best game on the console.Everything else is true especially phantom hourglass. Fucking christ what a piece of shit.

>>523554580>gen 4>peak>everything introduced in gen 3 was downgraded>performs worse than any other game before it>cluttered designs that birthed the digimon meme

>>523555256Based

>>523528472I disagree for BW2 and Prime Hunters were really cool. But yeah you're pretty much right.

>strange journey and devil survivor gamesThank god im a third party developer fag

>>523552158>>523552241>>523552335>>523552429Based.

>>523528472>Kirby Squeak Squad was worse than Amazing Mirror>>Pokemon became worseI'm gonna kick your ass

>>523533961Yup>>523533036

I'm still amazed that we somehow didn't get a 2D Metroid game on this thing.

I will always defend Days of Ruin.

>>523555782Hoennbabies still seething Kinnoh made gen 3 obsolete.

>>523552158>>523552241>>523552335>>523552429all shit

>>523560238Metroid Dread was cancelled

>>523529835So did companies. Specifically konami.

>>523528472Gba was pretty shitty.Most of the library. Specifically from Nintendo were nothing but pokemon and mario games.

>>523529835They lost their motivation
