And no, it’s not because their biggest two releases this year (so far) are cozy life sims. The word “cozy” comes to mind because it’s a year where there isn’t some major AAA blockbuster with news dropping 24/7, but instead, a steady stream of modest/niche games that really capture the idea of simply making games that are nothing more than dumb fun. I mean, just look at all the first party Nintendo releases from the past two months. I really love it, though I’ve heard others complaints and I can understand.
What about you? How would you describe Nintendo’s 2026 so far?
