| curl-6 said: I too would like to see more AA mid-tier games, but with Nintendo's main teams now tasked with making HD AAA blockbusters, that's going to have to fall to other studios, and indeed that has been happening; Link's Awakening for instance was developed by Grezzo. Personally I would like them to be a bit more proactive in outsourcing AA projects, so I can sort of agree to an extent. |
You can argue that games like Splatoon 2, ARMS, Labo, and Ring Fit Adventure are "AA" titles. As well as stuff like Astral Chain, Kirby, Yoshi's Crafted World, and Marvel UA3. Nintendo always produces games like that. It's just that their AAA franchises needed to take more of a priority early in the system's life. Remember, Nintendo wanted to avoid a Wii U scenario with the Switch, it needed to be as successful as possible, as fast as possible. It's not like their internal teams aren't willing to make these kinds of games either, such as the three games I mentioned above. We'll see more in the Switch's life, as they usually come later in a Nintendo console anyway.
