I have the impression that there are more kids who love fighting games than in the past.
It seems that the story is a bother.
>>1Scary barbarian
Well, I also understand because when I was in elementary school, I liked looking down on the opponents I had fought and lost to.
It seems that competitive games are greatly influenced by the spread of the internet.
Being able to play with friends is a big deal.
Are there elements in Minecraft that make you so absorbed?
>>5Are you really doubting the fun of Minecraft now?
I want to play games with my friends, right?
I just don’t understand Roblox.
Mobile games?
>>7A kid-friendly version of something like VRChat.
>>7It’s like a platform for user-created games from overseas.
It feels like the next stage of the Minecraft marketplace.
I want to see other games, but the ones I like that are unnamed probably aren’t included at all.
I’m happy because I also thought RPGs and games weren’t for kids when I was little.
When I was a kid, I used to play Mario Kart and compete.
Minecraft is barely not an RPG.
From a quick glance, not having social games seems like a good thing, right?
I wasn’t really into RPGs.
I don’t feel like investigating, but it seems that the rankings just fluctuate each year in terms of the ratio of software, while the games people are actually playing remain mostly the same.
Even if you can’t get too caught up in the system of Minecraft itself, I think playing multiplayer while chatting with friends can still be enjoyable, so it’s strong.
Isn’t anyone watching someone play an RPG from behind?!
>>19There’s no point in doing that in an era where cooperative play is the norm.
In other words, the generation that was conditioned to think that the classic game style is RPG is the one that has an obsession with RPGs.
That trend has disappeared in the past ten years or so, hasn’t it?
It’s impressive that games like Kirby and Zelda can take up such a spot, considering they are solo games.
>>20Nintendo’s IP is forming a strong scrum using Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros.
Popularity continues to invite more popularity.
Minecraft is too strong, isn’t it?
An era when the cover of Korokoro becomes Fortnite.
It gives the impression that there are people on Roblox creating amazing things with licensed materials.
And then it disappears right away.
Even Splatoon has many things that don’t recognize the story mode-like aspects…
I have loved RPGs since long ago…
I used to enjoy talking about how far I had progressed in RPGs at school, but when it came to playing together, the main focus was on competitive or cooperative play. Given that we can now casually play multiplayer, I suppose the ratio would be like this.
There are certainly some kids who are potentially fond of RPGs.
Games that involve creating something have always been popular, no matter the era.
Even if we say RPG, there are also ones like Brain Battle Ship Gal…
Animal Crossing is always strong…
Both Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy feel like games that only elderly internet users play now…
>>32The RPG that kids first play becomes Pokémon.
The next RPG I’m going to play is Pokémon.
There is no pathway from Pokémon to other RPGs.
The Yokai Watch was temporarily an exception, but now there’s not a trace of it.
Somehow, the existence of DQFF was significant.
Is this all there is after Splatoon 3 came out?
RPGs seem to be most appealing to middle school students.
>>35I think that period is so sensitive that it easily leads to getting immersed in something, so it’s not limited to just RPGs.
Actually, the time when RPGs were said to be the highlight of games was mostly during the period of the SFC to the original PS in Japan.
In overseas markets, RPGs are not as popular, and the 64 was more widespread than in Japan, with action games being more popular.
After all, we can only throw Xenogears into the puberty of all humanity…
>>38Is Xenoblade no good?
I will become a filthy brat.
>>41I’ve seen kids who are really mad because they’re getting crushed by other platforms in the Switch version of Fortnite, so basically it’s already too late to take it seriously.
>>50Also, there are a lot of foul-mouthed game streamers, so they might imitate them.
Even professional gamers can be quite a few moral-less idiots.
The popularity of RPGs is significant because they were able to reach those who are not good at action games.
Action games from the Famicon era were especially difficult.
>>42It seems like there was a story suggesting that the action games that could be made back then were quite limited.
Before even talking about know-how, the hardware specifications were too low, so there was no way to increase the freedom of action.
Isn’t it amazing that games released before they were born are still being played? What’s going on?
Since DQ and FF have numbering, aren’t they thought to be ongoing sequels?
>>44Whether such a misunderstanding exists or not
You are not even interested enough to reach information that can be found with a little research.
What is the current state of girl games like Tomodachi Collection and Tamagotchi?
Is it all concentrated in Animal Crossing?
Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy definitely take too long to develop.
>>47If you think a short development cycle will make kids interested, get rid of that naive idea.
I understand.
I wonder if I’ve gotten old; I only keep starting up roguelikes.
It feels like there are fewer substantial RPGs with a lot of volume on consoles these days.
>>51It’s hard to make.
Compared to the era of Super Famicom and PS1, modern home console RPGs feel quite geared towards adults.
I’m glad there was no online presence when I was a child.
>>54You’re quite old, aren’t you, Grandpa?
>>59Huh…?
I understand the desire for kids to play RPGs with their imagination, even if the results are somewhat cheap, because they can really immerse themselves in that world.
You can play Minecraft for several years, so the cost performance is really great…
I remember that when the new Marilou RPG was released, it seemed like only adults were getting excited about it.
Is there no RPG aimed at the children’s generation these days?
>>61What about Pokémon?
>>61That frame is still under the Pokémon regime.
>>70It’s important to keep releasing new works almost every year, no matter what…
While RPGs can be richly developed for adults, it seems difficult to create a balanced one for children that isn’t just childish.
Media that creates content for children has an image of having specialized knowledge.
I think Fire Emblem is more popular among children than Dragon Quest.
>>64!?
Are there no elementary school students who like FE?
>>65It’s a valuable dating simulation game, so it should be necessary, right?
When I think about it like this, it’s impressive how Splatoon has created a world view that appeals to everyone.
I don’t have things like GTA.
>>73There’s no room for CEROZ.
Is there an age restriction for Seoul style?
>>75Regardless of the restrictions, it seems that it would be quite scary and likely not possible for young elementary school students.
I think it really hits some kids in the upper grades and burns their brains.
>>75Age restrictions aside, most kids probably can’t handle the difficulty along with the gore, darkness, and fear.
In the past, there were many options besides Pokémon.
It’s pretty big that the pace of new Pokémon releases hasn’t slowed down, right?
>>77The best thing is when the TV anime has a super huge guide line.
It’s only natural to know about Pokémon even if you don’t have a gaming console anymore, right?
The recognition level is drastically different.
Isn’t Minecraft essentially like an RPG in terms of elements?
>>78It includes those elements, but it’s not something that is preferred as the main content, right?
>>78Because there are no rolls…
I wonder if kids today have any interest in watching their parents play games like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest.
>>79The Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games that I used to see my parents play aren’t coming out anymore.
In an RPG, even if the playtime is 100 hours, it can be doubled or more, right?
If you have multiple, you’ll probably do about ten times that.
I understand because it’s more like, “I don’t want to watch a story, I want to play a game!”
Let’s make an anime for Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.
>>83No, it’s fine…
>>83A little while ago, there was that Dragon Quest: Dai’s Adventure, right?
Shinobi Refre and Bunny Garden also seem strong.
Today’s kids really don’t know Dragon Quest…
Perhaps those of us who were elementary school students (now in our 40s) and were burnt out by FF4, 5, 6 being released almost every year, and had fun with conversations about where to find items or which monsters could be recruited in Dragon Quest 5 and 6, might be overrating Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.
In the 90s, Square was releasing new RPGs almost every year, which is why they were popular among kids.
It’s funny that Monster Hunter is gone.
>>88Many families cannot buy for their elementary school students, so it is understandable.
>>88Isn’t Monster Hunter originally aimed at middle and high school students and above?
It’s a game about killing living creatures, so it doesn’t seem like many parents would want their elementary school kids to play it.
>>88It doesn’t feel like something an elementary school student would do.
>>88I thought elementary school kids were playing Rise Sunbreak since it’s out on Switch, but at least none of my relatives’ kids were playing it.
Elementary school students 20 years ago played Monster Hunter on the PSP, and those 10 years ago played it on the 3DS too.
Pokémon is independent in its own category, rather than fitting into the RPG category…
I really think there are a lot of younger viewers watching the streams.
Topics like tests and assignments often come up in chats about school.
>>93It’s probably a family account, I encounter names like ○○ Dad and ○○ Mom quite often.
Come to think of it, I hardly understood the story when I was in elementary school.
Parents probably play mobile versions of DQ or something like that…
Rather, Pokémon’s presence in the anime is too weak.
I understand that since movies have already done every possible story, it’s difficult to create new ones.
>>100No, anime is strong.
>>100No, the movie simply doesn’t have people coming, Pokémon.
>>115Add bonuses to the game.
In the era of PSP and DS, I used to see groups of elementary school students gathering to play Monster Hunter.
It’s been several years since the switch came out…
In the first place, Pokémon has an incredibly broad reach through anime, merchandise, and more.
It stands out from other RPGs.
Fortnite has been really popular with elementary school students for a long time now…
Everyone has limited time for games because they are busy with tutoring and extracurricular activities.
I can understand why there is a tendency to prefer competitive and cooperative games that can be played together right away without needing to worry about spoilers.
Monster Hunter was normally played by elementary school students back in the mobile gaming era.
They used to officially hold a parent-child tag tournament anyway.
I think Pokémon will never fade away because parents are at the stage of buying their children stuffed animals or something with illustrations.
I don’t get any information about Fortnite around me, but I can tell it’s incredibly popular worldwide.
>>113Rather, FPS is too unpopular on the bulletin board.
There are almost no threads for Valorant, COD, or Apex.
>>117I guess Overwatch is relatively more active, huh?
Also, a single FPS casual chat thread.
>>117APEX was standing for a while.
>>113There are a ton of kids on X playing Fortnite, but the world is just too different and it’s amusing.
I’ve been talking all the time about how my PC is weak, asking for a new PC, and what my parents are like.
I wonder if kids are playing Minecraft in survival mode.
That takes too much time.
>>114You’ll probably watch a lot of strategy videos, and since it’s multiplayer, it’ll probably develop in no time.
Speaking of which, there were a lot of those middle-aged men who just had to know kids’ friend codes on Miiverse too…
It’s definitely a premium feel when real kids are doing it…
I feel like kids don’t have enough time for Minecraft, but it’s really popular.
>>119If kids aren’t enough, then who is?
Are you a NEET?
I’m giving my 6th-grade nephew my non-pro PS4 since I don’t need it, along with Nioh 2, and after a while, he got hooked on Nioh 2, so I thought kids really don’t understand much.
>>120When my friend came over with their child and I pulled out the Super Famicom, it worked, and we played Bombman. We had a great time and played enthusiastically.
I feel that genres and the old and new don’t really matter much to children.
>>182I remembered that my cousin’s child showed interest in Princess Maker just by looking at the package.
I couldn’t help but laugh seeing Mario Maker turning into a kids’ social media.
Playing each other’s created courses in a “play with each other” manner and doing things like raising rankings, this is… harmful!
>>121There were similar things on old drawing boards too, so isn’t it relatively wholesome?
Movies have become content that makes dedicated fans watch them multiple times.
Even looking at the download-only rankings, indie games and HENTAI games that are on sale for extremely low prices are selling as well as Nintendo titles.
>>123I remember that when Vaniga was selling well on the Switch, the official announcement of the DL version ranking calculation method was suddenly limited to games priced over 3000 yen.
I had the impression that APEX was more popular than Fortnite for some reason, but maybe that’s not the case.
>>125Fortnite is strong because it has various skins from collaborations with different anime and comics, while APEX might seem a bit odd or have a foreign taste from a child’s perspective.
They probably aimed for kids with Monster Hunter Stories, but it missed the mark.
Both Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy were interesting, but that was only during the time they showed respect to Wizardry and Ultima.
You’ve added in movie segments and mini-games, among other useless elements.
Due to the impact of COVID, this place has had the lowest box office in history, and movies have disappeared.
>>133Well, since both Demon Slayer and Poupelle came out in the same year, I think it’s simply a matter of quality…
>>139Yeah.
Hmm…?
>>133Even though there was a Demon Slayer movie at the same time, there’s no excuse for that.
Fortnite has been very popular among kids for a long time…
Indeed, there aren’t many threads on the bulletin board about multiplayer FPS games these days…
>>137I thought you didn’t like multiplayer games, but threads about card games and fighting games come up frequently, so I don’t really understand.
>>141In FPS games, if you’re not young, you get disqualified due to your reaction speed…
It’s too bad that despite DQ Dai: Cross Blade being popular with children, the main game turned out like that…
I was really into APEX for a while, but I got tired of it and stopped playing… It’s the same with any game; once I start to question if I’m just repeating the same tasks and it feels like a chore, it’s all over.
>>142I’ve realized that I would be doing this task endlessly in mobile games, so I’ve stopped doing it for several of them.
It seems like there are many kids who have been playing Marioware 2 since they bought it.
The YouTube videos never run out of content, and you can literally play endlessly.
The people who are sometimes seen here who dislike multi-players or have a disdain for others generally have a bad image, often accompanied by insults.
>>144I think that public matches and PvP are more toxic.
On the bulletin board, Eternal Return is trending, and there are quite a few people who used to play LOL, so I think games with that kind of screen are more suitable.
Cocoon of Destruction and Diancie 2014/7/19 2.91 billion
Giant Magical God Hoopa of the Light Ring 2015/7/18 2.61 billion
Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel 2016/7/16 2.15 billion
I’ve decided on you! 2017/7/15 3.55 billion
Everyone’s Story 2018/7/13 3.09 billion
Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution 2019/7/12 2.98 billion
Coco 20.2 billion on December 25, 2020
The highest box office revenue for movies after Diamond and Pearl is Darkrai with 5 billion yen, so it seems we really need to include strong Pokémon.
>>146I mean, isn’t it true that Pokémon isn’t making movies anymore?
I wonder if Nintendo got really angry since the box office earnings difference with Pupele has doubled.
If monster movies, emotional stories, and remakes are all no good, then I really have no idea what to make…
The Splatoon brat-making machine is insane.
FPS is causing battle royale fatigue among the battle royale generation.
It feels like there won’t be another FPS boom.
>>153I want to play an FPS where life is lighter!
I was rather desperate to know the story since I was a child, so I played the game.
And into the eroge…
If someone destroys a neighbor’s valuables or if a popular streamer live streams it, it will become a trend here too…
>>156Did that game really become popular?
>>156There were only people watching the videos and replying on the older sister’s thread, right?
I realized that I haven’t played because there were many people speaking with old knowledge, even though the game’s balance suddenly changed drastically with that update.
I heard that Fortnite players peak in their teens and then they have to retire after that.
I can feel that FPS is steadily following the same path as the former fighting game scene.
>>159I’ve only ever played FPS games, but what path should I take?
>>159It seems to be going smoothly and is very popular…
>>167Well, I think that once things settle down and there’s a generational change, it will get exciting again.
>>187Once, this place was bustling with BF1942.
Second generation with a focus on modern warfare since COD4.
Isn’t it around the third generation of the battle royale transition?
There’s no specific common time for after school.
The sandbox-type multiplayer on the bulletin board seems to be popular for gathering through calls.
“Since Poupelle has sold around 2.6 billion, it is doing quite well.”
I haven’t played Pokémon recently, but is everyone still doing breeding and battles?
>>164About 10 to 20 percent.
>>164Like a normal RPG, it ends after watching the ending.
Only a part of the competitive scene has been played since long ago.
>>164Selection is no longer necessary thanks to training items.
The current Fortnite is amazing in many ways because you can bring in your favorite materials through UE and create games however you like.
It’s all Nintendo, isn’t it? But when I was in elementary school, it was mostly Nintendo too.
It may have been around elementary school upper grades or middle school when things like PlayStation started to increase.
>>168Around this area, I switched over because sequels to games I used to play on the Super Famicom were coming out on the PlayStation, but I think it’s less meaningful for kids today to move to PlayStation since the software they play continues to be released on the Switch even into middle school.
>>193It’s a good thing for players that there are fewer limitations on the software that can be played by hardware than in the past.
It’s amazing how quickly elementary school players build structures the moment they get shot in Fortnite.
Even without making a movie, Skabay has exceeded Red and Green in Japan.
If Pokémon made a movie in this era, it could probably surpass Mario.
The content features Satoshi as the protagonist.
>>172Rika Matsumoto, you know…
>>172Isn’t it impossible at the point of binding?
It’s not a work you can watch just knowing Pokémon, like Detective Pikachu, without any prior context.
I play FPS, but there’s not really anything to talk about, especially with strangers.
It’s not a place where I want to actively talk about my favorite games.
Nintendo is strong…
It’s not just about interpersonal interactions, and if it’s declining, can it really be compared to fighting games?
Pokémon breeding has become so easy now that almost no effort is needed.
Well, since Pokémon is making quite a big profit with Detective Pikachu at the global box office, it might be good to adopt a style where we release a collaboration with an overseas studio every few years.
Minecraft has always been at the forefront since I was a child.
It’s amazing that even without a story, you can play infinitely as long as you have imagination.
>>183Minecraft… when I was a child…?
Since a game specifically for battles is coming out soon, I guess there are quite a few people playing Pokémon.
Fortnite used to be a completely flavorless PvE back in the day.
It’s now something completely different.
I want to see a version for middle school and high school students, but it seems like it will just end up being a social game.
You must be endlessly fiddling with your smartphone.
>>189Monst Monst Monst…
Rhythm games seem to be in a mysterious situation where they are both declining and somewhat surviving at the same time.
>>191Isn’t it a genre that only people who already like it pursue?
>>191I feel like there is always some subtle hit title at any given time.
It feels like it’s been a while since there’s been such excitement like with Street Fighter 6.
>>191I think rhythm games have become quite a major genre.
If SV can sell with that level of quality, then it must be a world where anything can sell just because it’s Pokémon.
>>194It doesn’t seem like they’re doing it.
>>198A self-introduction, huh…
When I was a kid, I didn’t really pay that much attention to the story in RPGs either…
>>195Even now, I forget the main quests and small requests.
I often see nameless streamers playing a game that destroys the valuables of neighbors.
Gun shooting is a dead genre.
I’m happy that it looks like that but is still active in VR.
The content of Pokémon movies is just too repetitive and tough to handle.
I think the damage is greater here because, although there was COVID, they were running commercials that rivaled those of Demon Slayer.
Many people didn’t recognize it as a Pokémon movie, but they definitely recognized the part in the commercial where it says, “To-chan daaaahhhh!!!”
