MODERATORS
I'm guessing they have a few people on staff who read the news
I can't wait on the inevitable excuses they make because they're already promised their investors on the price and can't change it.
I love late stage capitalism
I knew they'd eat shit on this one in like 2019. Nintendo goes full hubris mode any time they see success, iwata and fils Aimee not being the evil ceos in charge and more hedge fundy guys taking over. I got a switch in 2021 knowing this all full well but there were enough games to make me want one by then. Things have only gotten to be more of a ripoff as time went by as well cause they had a giant hit and Nintendo always hits the squeeze and the evil ceos who navigated that issue sorta okay aside from the wiiu in the past and but managed the 3ds price crisis okay and did course correct before too much wiiu trouble happened. Hard to course correct when the console is already something thst works conceptually and is an iterative upgrade. Unless they try a wiiu2 when this fails. Also 1st party Nintendo slop has become more and more of a ripoff. Mario vs Donkey Kong or the DK Country wii game remake are easy example. My retired parents got the $50 gba HD remake and have had a great time, I've already played the original and cake walked the game when I borrowed it. Wouldn't be worth a dime to me, add new levels, like double the count or more, which is easy, it's a simple gsme and I'd have been okay to shell out like $40 or so.
I'd argue breath of the wild is for sure a port but Nintendo has hidden it by keeping the Ui in subsequent games even if it's clearly meant for the gameplay touch screen. Wiiu breath of the wild has way less issue swapping arrows equipment and stuff cause you use the gamepad
A lot of these originals also fucking sucked or if good weren't worth the price tag
billionth sequel, plus basically a more boring wario ware
