Would you consider local wifi multiplayer on DS to be a more arcade or PC innovation? |
Well Minecraft is a sandbox game, I think their oldest inspiration might be simulators like Sim City where you could farm resources to build things. I don't see much similarity between Minecraft and BOTW besides the open world, but well I've stopped playing Minecraft about 10 years ago no idea how this game looks like now
I would say local multiplayer is more like Arcade evolved (inspired by arcades, executed on consoles). I agree it has arcade roots from games like Metal Slug or Captain Commando
