the only thing i care about when it comes to splatoon is the cute squid girls and their spats

it's kind of ridiculous though that there can be 3 splatoon games in the span of 7 years but we haven't gotten a new f-zero game for nearly two decades because nintendo can't find out how to innovate it.

I really kind of hate the mentality Nintendo has sometimes where their big flagship series only get an update if they feel like they're doing something ABSOLUTELY FUCKING GROUNDBREAKING with it.

they've been like this for at least 30 years, and it's the reason the SNES only got one Zelda game and the N64 only got one Mario.

@duke n64 only got 1 mainline mario, but it was also the birth of a lot of mario spin offs like mario party, golf, and tennis. plus there was mario kart 64.

zelda actually didn't get its own title on the wii u that wasn't a remake, and it looks like the switch is headed toward the same direction if nintendo announces a switch 2 before botw2 comes out.

@beardalaxy

I get that. Childhood me is just still annoyed that SMW2 and a Mario 64 sequel never happened. I've never really minded sequels that are just essentially "more" content running on the same engine and reusing some assets - the DKC series comes to mind.

That's really fucking lame re: Switch though. I'm not mad that I bought mine, as Odyssey and BOTW were game-of-the-decade contenders for me, but they do seem to have done that nintendo thing where there's a ton of first party stuff the first year or two the console is out and then it slows to a trickle

@duke I mean, there was yoshi's island which is literally smw2 but yeah it is different.

I love my switch, if I didn't have a model that could be exploited though I don't think I would as much. But modded smash, Mario kart 8, the Mario party games, and Kirby forgotten land are all super great games that I've had loads of fun playing.

I played breath of the wild on Wii U, I actually went out of my way to buy a bigger USB drive so I could play it early when it leaked like 3 days before release lol. It was rough around the edges performance-wise, but still a great game. I need to emulate it, there's a massive expansion mod that adds an insane amount of stuff I wanna try out as well as 60fps.
