I quit Nintendo ages ago. As a company, they’re assholes. Then they want to charge $50 for a game that’s 5 years old and 2 generations behind in graphics. Just can’t hold a candle to PC or even the other consoles. The only thing they have left is like 4 game IP’s
They just dropped a very mediocre Metroid title, and Mario Kart was middling at best, so they are down two franchises this generation already. If they make another clone of BotW then they are gonna be down a third, and they’ll have to make it up with Mario, but Donkey Kong didn’t inspire hope on that front, so I’m not sure what I have to look forward to…
Oh. Pokemon… Well, I’m not holding out hope there either after Scarlet/Violet.
I haven’t really enjoyed pokemon for quite some time now. It started off as a fun casual rps style game with a simple and entertaining story to follow. Then they kept adding more complexity to it and it just kinda fell off for me.
I’m on my second playthrough, this time with my kids. Didn’t think I needed another playthrough but I’m having fun. 😅 At one point I’ll boot up TotK for the first time since buying it on release day. 😎

The new DK looked really fun to me, is it not?

You didn’t like Breath of the Wild?
I liked it the first two times. I don’t need a third.

Pokémon Z-A has honestly been one of the most fun Pokémon games I’ve played in a loooooooooooooooooooong time
