"We're working on this new journey called Nintendo Switch with the excitement one feels when visiting unkown countries for the very first time" 37:00
This is what Koizumi said during the Nintendo Switch presentation on January 12th and I kept thinking about it: It's very true in a number of ways: the obvious ones are Mario Odyssey, ARMS and Splatoon 2, all three of which are insipired by one or multiple specific countries/cultures: the music, the environments and the gameplay all seem foreign while still mantaining the usual Nintendo vibe.
Then there are more subtle titles that fit this description like 1-2 Switch which leaves the player speechless for the difference between its gameplay and that of any other game, just like someone who visits a country/city with a different lifestyle.
Do you also feel that Koizumi/Nintendo nailed the description/approach taken by this new titles ? What countries would you like to inspire a Nintendo game (both new or old IPs) ?
