  • The fan base is earned.

    This is what I have a problem with. The fan base WAS earned but now is taken for granted.

    You can’t just pretend that online play isn’t important for multiplayer games. It’s a huge knock against the titles you mentioned.

    Kirby and the Forgotten Land tries so hard to keep gameplay smooth that any enemies more than like 15 feet away drop to 8fps and it still dips when there’s too many effects on screen. Breath of the Wild simply banishes mobs that get too far away (or just run for too long) to keep the memory functional (and many things don’t even render at the edge of bow range). Super Mario Odyssey also aggressively culls actors and gets a bit sad when you force too much on screen (high up in Metro Kingdom, for example) It might not matter to you but it impacts the game enough for me to notice it.

    I simply don’t think that you can trust a Nintendo game to be worth the day 1 cost.
