Super Smash Bros. creator says instead of making more "Americanized works," Japanese devs should "seek the uniqueness and fun of Japanese games"

Well I can say with relative confidence that the Japanese game industry is the only one doing well right now, so they have a point.

On the one hand, yeah definitely export your own cultural weirdness. Part of the joy of having so many other cultures in the world is getting little peeks into them via art.

On the other hand, some of my favorite games of all time have come from Japanese developers fetishizing American culture and trying to pretend it's normal. Deadly Premonition, Metal Wolf Chaos, all the works of Hideo Kojima. I think there's something to be said for the strange fusions that can occur when an outsider makes art in the style of a different culture.

If it's good it's good.

There is some aspect of Japanese culture I can really do without in my games, like everyone being either a high school student, just getting 18, or 60+. Especially when they then get into relationships.

Then again, I can't really say if that would sell. I'm certainly not deep enough into anime culture to gauge interest there.

Weird Japanese games are the best, case in point, katamari damashi

And movies! Ain't nothing better then The Death Note and Battle Royal

Yep, the only thing that could use a bit of Americanisation is the video settings and performance side of things

Capitalism = trash games. Focus on the few and just make them good. As in story, music, character development and very last gfx.
