The Curse of Norio Ohga

The Curse of Norio Ohga refers to after nintendo releasing a successful console with tons of games leading to other console manufacturers trying to emulate the success,Then their next console becomes a commercial failure resulting in other video game publishers like konami, capcom and sega doing stupid decisions resulting in poorer quality indie games being released instead making people think a 2nd video game crash will happen

The curse of Norio Ohga is a reference to the time in the early-mid 90s where nintendo and sony cut ties after nintendo worked with philips instead of making the SNES CD addon resulting in the creation of the sony playstation and later segas exit from the hardware market and microsofts entry into it

Guy 1: man the ps1 and n64 is good and all but i wish the 3do m2 was released so i could have the actual arcade version of time crisis 2 and NFL blitz at home instead of the cheap home versions of those games

2004

Guy 1: man the gaming industry went to shit ever since 9/11 happened, things havent been the same since sega left the console market

Guy 2: yeah thanks to the curse of norio ohga, if the nintendo revolution is a falure, nintendo might end up like sega in the near future

2016

Guy 1: man the wii u sucks and that young conker game and dying light is nothing like metal gear solid and the original conker

Guy 2: yeah thanks to the curse of norio ohga if the nintendo NX gets released and is a failure theres going to be a 2nd video game crash (however at least we will still have games like undertale to keep us busy)
