I know we're still on planet ~show a list of technically new games to try and prove the Switch's release schedule isn't all that bad~ ... but are we really going to extend that to a free NSO battle royal Mario game and an AR Mario Kart game? They're cool, but they're ultimately as gimmicky as gimmicks can get (ironically more so the one you pay for rather than the one that just requires a subscription). The battle royal game isn't even a full release, it's only available for a limited time and unlike the 3D Collection once it's not being offered you don't have it anymore. Sometimes the defense of Nintendo's release schedule feels like it goes a bit too far, if you don't want ports of great games that Direct is honestly not going to do anything for 99% of those people. And it's fine for those people to criticize that. |
Hey, I get it, you're not excited in their new games, or any of the ports, and that's perfectly fair: critique away, with my full blessing! I won't even pretend that I'm not personally underwhelmed with the 2020 lineup at the moment. But they did just announce two new titles, each of which will legitimately excite/intrigue some people, and I think it's often important to be communicate our thoughts in a clear and accurate manner. If nothing else, that minimal level of restraint might discourage some of the histrionics that happen on this site.
