I will avoid games that “feel” Japanese because they don’t interest me for a variety of reasons. I don’t like the exaggerated voices and facial expressions, I don’t like personified insects and sea creatures, and I don’t care for hamfisted dialogues that over-explain the entire plot.
Games like Mario and Zelda are exceptions because they have just enough of a Western feel to them.
I have to imagine Japanese players like things that feel normal to them the same way I do. And a lot of Nintendo’s bigger games have found a good way to thread that needle between Western culture and Japanese culture.
I’m the same. Most Japanese games look like someone tried to live action an anime character and they always look bad to me. The Yakuza games are a great example, I think the graphics are awful and the dialogue is trash, but people love it.
Doubt it’s spite.
