why does everything have to look like plastic ? I dig the echo mechanic but the art direction totally rebuffs me
Seems pretty clear to me: they’re going after the Lego and Minecraft crowd. That is, little kids.
To my eyes, Pokemon also went clay/plastic when they moved from 3DS (USUM) to Switch. I hope Nintendo moves on from this look. I want to see something in the style of Windwaker, personally.
This recycles the graphics from the Link’s Awakening remake, for which it was already divisive, yeah.
OTOH, it’s a great way to make it look teensy-tiny, especially with the built-in tilt-shift.
I don’t know the context. I get that consistency can be important. It would be so easy however to give it a beautiful cell shaded treatment, the toy look would lend itself well to it
