I could just stop buying now and have plenty to keep me busy well into old age with games I already own. I know I am not alone in that regard.
Well, even some autists have their limits. But the current price tag is nowhere close to it, as far as I can tell.
I have no interest in open world iterative mario karting, just like I wasn't in the mood to play BOTW DLC and climb more ubisoft towers. I have no interest in nu-Donkey Kong and his garish 80s design, and I have no interest in Animal Crossing since realizing 15 years ago that grinding for a house in a game you'll never own is just as pointless as grinding for a house in the real world that you'll never own. Prime 4 (which I would at best get on Switch 1) is still somehow MIA for a release date despite its development hell and likely Launch Title standing. All the retro games on offer (and the ones to be on offer in the future) I already have for free and with better options, controls, graphics, and performance. Fire Emblem is still languishing in the pits of gacha hell, iterative Smash will inevitably have terrible online as always, and I'm not paying for that terrible online when I already have one fucking comcast bill for terrible internet.
Blah, blah, blah you don't like Nintendo games and would just pirate them all anyway.
BotW BAD because I demand Squidward Sword II, just emulate it on your Steamdecklike with a 37 minute battery life
It robbed us of a tired old turd, oh woe is us. After decades of being one of the most catered to groups in gaming they were given a slightly different flavor of ice cream and only most of them liked it. Since 2003 every single one of those games was worse than the one that came before it, be glad it finally evolved.
Slightly different? BotW was just OoT with the empty Hyrule Field expanded and temples taken out. And calling the OoT formula tired after just 5 games is ridiculous, and calling it a turd is just laughable, especially WW which is the best game in the series.
There are still block puzzles in BotW, they're just all in the same boring environment that all Shrines share.
TOTK was literally a wet fart when it came to discussion about the series. Does anyone remember it existing? Still feels like glorified DLC.
This but unironically. I could tell BotW wasn't going to be shit as soon I noticed they changed the controls around and added a jump button. And why the fuck is the run button a face button and not a shoulder button? Am I not supposed to look around while running?
It feels like it because it is. Aonuma literally said they took a bunch of ideas they had for BotW DLC that was getting out of scope and released them as a new game instead.
90s kids will never stop seething about Zelda having an actually financially successful game, because it’s not just another clone of OoT.
Yes, because Zelda was some niche game series only enjoyed by the hardcore audience with underperforming sales. It only had 18 games plus a handful of spin-offs over the course of 30 years, each generally selling only around 5 million copies, maybe 10 million at best. But now, Nintendo is finally making money off the series. They must have really had faith in it to stick by it so long.
Can't wait till Mario is successful, Odyssey is going to surpass NSMB as the best-selling non-pack-in Mario game, finally breaking even, no thanks to those pesky 90's kids, fr fr no cap.
Yes, it was Metroid with good merchandising.
If they were lucky, it was usually around 3 for the first release.
They’d max at 7 million before re-releases.
