This might be the thing that pushes me into not buying Nintendo games anymore. I've always liked them despite the legal crap, but god damn.

They've been phoning their games in since the WiiU era anyway.

The last real Nintendo release I felt was original and packed with content was 3D World.

Everything since feels like they let interns design things en-masse and half bake most of their releases. Zelda and Mario get sandboxes, one 2D release in years, and remakes. There's Metroid Prime 4, but... if we're being real, it should've come out half a decade ago, not to mention tossing Gamefreak the BOTW engine and apparently not helping, at all with recent Pokemon games if the bugs are anything to go by, Smash netcode issues and not being taken seriously as a competitive sport, gatekeeping their classics behind worse in-house emulators than what you get for free on GitHub, you could write a book.

tbf, they were on track to releasing it about 5 years ago, then they cancelled it cause it was not good.

and we have seen what happens when you release a game that should not have seen the light of day (concord lol)

agree with everything else though
