I have played more than enough to share an opinion. I still buy Nintendo consoles but close to zero first party games, precisely for this reason. My Switch library is third party games, with the exception of both Metroid games, one being a decent 2D game but not even a very good 2D Metroid, and the other being a 20 years old game. Still awesome, of course, but same game. And I did enjoy ARMS at launch, great game.Whenever someone says this everyone else instantly knows they never play the actual games.
Then you have some like Digital Foundry say that some of the gameplay concepts they’ve come up with for a particular part are so good they could be a whole other game entirely.
Its not salt. Nintendo certainly could release more new IP and them being bangers in one go. They don't want to risk it and heavily rely on Mario & Co. I cant stand it. Its ridiculous that I play as the same fat guy at five years old and almost forty.
I like your bad faith
Exactly. Dismiss that stuff all you want, but if you had it, you certainly wouldn't be downplaying it!Try playing Switch games in 4k 120FPS , especially Botw or Totk
Would you like some cream for your butt? I'm more concerned about that than your enjoyment of games...I enjoy a lot of excellent games, thank you for your concern
Please keep your nasty obsessions for yourself.
Friendly reminder that God of War started in 2005 and Gran Turismo in 1997, to name a couple.
Everyday Beast, is that you?
When a Naughty Dog MP game sinks: “Good, devs should stick to making what they make best!”
The funny thing is with "better hardware" I think the expectations would be higher and their scores would actually be lower
Japanese Devs are absolutely back on track in recent years and Nintendo are Absolutely Gold standard.
I can't wait to see Xenoblade Zelda Mario etc on better hardware.
Yeah, they’ve been cooking! Fantastic output in both quality and quantity.
It’s also crazy to think we didn’t know about Super Mario Bros. Wonder at all 4 months ago. They’re just sitting on these 9/10 games.
Precisely.
Yeah, I really hope they don’t leave it dormant just because StarFox Zero was a bit of a dud.
A little bit of unique game design comes a long way.

It's not a service anymore, it's a locker to s contents, just like that.
Are we talking Sony,the gows and horizons?
You are right. It's a 10.
One is just a remaster, one is an expansion, one should have been sold as an expansion, and I haven't played super Mario yet but its probably overrated cause it’s Nintendo.
This is all in the same year! A year where they also have another few high scoring games (Pikmin 4, Advance Wars, Fire Emblem are all 80s games), and they still have a couple of games coming up (a Mario RPG?)
Like, I can't think of any other publisher who put out four 90+ games in the same year. And this is the final year of the Switch's life (supposedly), this is Nintendo's support for it in its last year? I always thought Nintendo consoles died in their last year lol.
Never been a big fan of Nintendo before, but the Switch, and specifically 2023, have sold me on Nintendo completely. At a time when the rest of the industry keeps engaging in clown shoes nonsense like chasing live service games, cancellations and layoffs and acquisitions and buggy launches and chasing tech over gameplay, Nintendo just quietly puts out great games upon great games that are among the best on the market, and they do it on a console that is more than two generations outdated.
Just insanity.

Oh please. They've excelled at brilliant games and amazing gameplay innovations for around 40 years. You can THINK that but you would be completely wrong.
Original innovators are often not those who realize the full potential of a design. I am not saying they are bad at making games. All I am saying is that if you only enjoy a fraction of what they provide you are more likely to see that fraction made whole in another title by another developer.
they have been working on the new 3D Mario on PS4 Pro level hardware for 6 years now
100% this. Look at Elden Ring- it wasn't the story that captivated people... Gameplay is all that matter. You are meant to be PLAYING games!
no offense to you, but your out of your fucking mind. Zelda alone disproves your point. The game pushed every boundary.
