about this "zelda game" and nintendo's 2026 lineup in general

[firebush03]

Not much to discuss. The lineup just isn't for you. We have cozy life sims, we have 2D platformers, we have (maybe a few too many lol!) JRPGs, we have two casual sports games, we have several smaller time wasters (Rhythm Heaven, Star Fox Remake, DK Challenge, monthly NSO drops), we have a reimagining of Ocarina of Time, and in addition to all of this we have several inexpensive DLC add-ons to pre-existing Switch 1 games— there is absolutely no shortage of software this year which fits the standard we've come to associate with Nintendo.

If you don't like this offering, then perhaps next year will better suit your taste. I get it that this line up isn't for everyone, I really do, but I also don't think Nintendo is doing anything wrong here. It really is a solid showing. Yeah it sucks that we don't have 3D Mario or Smash Bros, but Ocarina of Time Remake, Xenoblade Genesis, and Pokopia fill that void for many people... for instance, the formermost and second of these titles I personally would consider of a similar calibre to that of a mainline 3D Mario or Smash Bros according to my own personal tastes.
