Just finished watching. I think in a couple of years people are going to have the same criticisms for nintendo that they have the rest of the industry.

So far outside of bananza nintendo haven’t really shown or done anything really new or inventive. Fire emblem looks cool but it looks like a continuation of three houses. Throw in the typical yoshi game thats gonna be brain dead easy but has a nice cutesy art style, mario remasters repacked again, metroid that looks very much like the 3 that came out 15 years ago, no zelda, a bunch of DLC, and some life sim games that all look heavily inspired by animal crossing.

This just looks like a continuation of the games they were already making for switch only in 60fps now
they ran out of ideas. miyamoto making movies now and the old heads didn’t do enough to inspire the next generation.

now they just look at what other companies are doing like open world and battle royale and try to find a way to make a Nintendo spin on it that doesn’t seem too contrived. its over. Best we can hope for is whoever worked on Super Mario RPG decides to remake Earthbound with the DQ7 graphics.

Pretty much. You're basically playing the Switch for first-party & JRPGs. Nothing changes since there is still the generation gap, but at least this time we do see the PS4 still being supported, so that does help a very tiny bit for Nintendo.

But most of those games you're just going to play on PS5 or PC tbh. Resident Evil game highlights that because it's cool, it's coming to Switch, but the majority aren't going to play it on there.
