| killeryoshis said: Wow nice, write up. The only big mistake here was saying that Mario Kart 8 wasn't ambitious. It was to a certain extent and it sold lots of hardware. It was one of the few bright spots of the 2011-2016 period. Same goes for Smash 4. Nintendo really had some serious software and hardware problems during those days. It felt like nothing they could do was right. It felt like they were purposely failing honestly. They just could not be that stupid but they did. I also think the Dark Age ends at 2017, to be honest. I pretty much became disinterested in Nintendo around 2011 and didn't really get back into them until 2017 with the launch of the Switch. |
Thank you, I've been meaning to write this for a while and would like to do more essay style threads in the future.
I just think that the lack of solid single player content really hurt Smash 4 compared to Brawl, but I will admit that the roster was definitely more ambitious in Smash 4. With Mario Kart 8 I just think that DD and Wii added something new, such as the two people karts and motion controls. I do see where you are coming from on both points.
