I wonder if Nintendo will manage 2 main Zelda games for the gen considering how long it took for Tears of the Kingdom and how recent that was. Mostly want to see how the next Xenoblade looks

They might not even release one for this system. They managed to get two games out of one (well built) world/playground, across three systems. Nintendo only makes a game if they feel like there's something new (for the most part), and it's very possible they're burned out on zelda right now.

I'm guessing they'll have other main liners for this system. Donkey Kong and Mario and something else.

Yeah, it might be like the Wii leading into the WiiU. Twilight Princess was originally going to be for the GameCube, but turned into a wii launch title and was followed by Skyward Sword late into the Wiis lifetime. That resulted in the WiiU never having its own Zelda, instead sharing BOTW with Switch during its release.

So it's possible with BOTW released with Switch and TOTK late into the switches lifetime that we'll see the same thing happen on the switch 2 (and it won't get an exclusive Zelda).

I'm hoping they can revive Star Fox Adventure. Next Zelda, I think it needs something new to it. I got tired of it way faster than Breath of the Wild. Too much of the same

Nintendo is one of the worst companies. They don't care about their supporters. They're an ancient greedy company that needs to go back to only selling hanafuda cards.

Sorry, but your comment really feels like this meme.

Don’t be sorry. Comments like that are what’s causing me to use Lemmy less. So fucking sick of the virtue signaling and selective outrage.

There’s no fucking ethical consumption in post-captialism. A literal pedophilic criminal is the US president, and I’m supposed to expend my energy hating the video game company that gives me Pokemon, Zelda, and Kirby? Fuck all the way off.

Don't do that, just quietly block the noise as much as possible. I've now blocked any and all politically-based instances and magazines because getting too caught into politics, just makes you all around feel miserable about everything.

And the people who're so gung-ho on hating Nintendo, are the kinds of people that want you to bathe in that kind of misery. It must be taxing and exhausting to be an activist all of the time. Makes me wonder how they manage to sleep at night, if any. There are bigger things going on in the world and hating a video game company is the least of those things to get upset over in comparison.

That's what happens when people who're so defeatist from making a better change in the world do, they just pick on smaller frivolous things and tell everyone to hate on that just to cope because they're simply too powerless to do anything about the bigger things.

Ignorance is bliss.

Don't forget to pay that subscription!

Eh. Not really. Nintendo does have fun games. They are also a garbage company.

[–] fyrilsol@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 1 day ago

Life's too short on trying to always be morally correct.

This, fuck Nintendo. Its disappointing to see so many people have zero respect for themselves.
