What do you want to see from next gen Nintendo games?

Yeah I'm with mzuzek, Starfox wouldn't benefit from being open world, that would likely result in too much tedious commuting between the action. Starlink tried this and it sucked. Keep it fast paced and condensed, with no stupid gimmicks. Every Starfox game since 1997 has been shit because they keep trying to reinvent the wheel.

As far as the topic question, I don't really care for 4K or everything being 60fps, just give me a generational leap in the actual lighting, textures, geometry, effects, etc.

That makes a bigger difference to me than pixel count. I'd rather have PS4+ graphics at 1080p than Switch graphics at 4K. It's been over a decade since the last big jump in graphics from Nintendo and I'm really starting to crave more.

I wanna see a Xenoblade game with gorgeous, lush and richly detailed worlds, or a 3D Mario that looks like high-end cartoon games on PS4.

For sure better graphics is way more important than 4k or 60fps. 30fps is perfectly fine except for that rare game that has really fast action ie. mario kart, smash, fzero you probably want 60fps, most other Nintendo-made games aren't really fast action so 30fps is great. These days some people act like 30fps is slow lol, 30fps has long been the standard and you only start noticing slowdown if it gets down to around 20fps so a rock solid 30 is perfect for the majority of games. And obviously in handheld it only needs to do whatever the screen resolution is (I'm guessing it won't even be 1080, probably 900), with DLSS maybe it'll be able to push it up to 4k in docked I dunno but really not necessary at all. 4k would be mostly just for marketing rather than actually being important to have for games.

I'd much rather be having a nice big generational graphical leap still playing games at 1080p and 30fps than a somewhat more moderate generational leap playing games at 4k and 60fps.

Anyway, this is supposed to be games discussion not graphics discussion haha

Games wise I am quite happy with the way they make them already; Switch games like BOTW, TOTK, Mario Odyssey, Metroid Dread, Xenoblade 2 and 3, Splatoon 2 and 3, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, all terrific stuff.

I mean, it'd be cool to see them take things further with regards to scope and seamlessness, and for something like the next Zelda, even more in-depth physics and interactivity, but even with the Switch we're kinda passed the point where more power means radically more gameplay possibilities. Even on PS5 most games are essentially PS3/360 games with prettier pixels.
