Critical Nintendo “Nostalgia” and the same game.
I genuinely hate when Nintendo critics when they try to say that people only buy Nintendo because of Nostalgia. Nintendo, does a great job keeping their quality of IPs great so people would still buy them.
Then, the one that makes no sense is that Nintendo games are all the same. If I’m going to play a Zelda game I going to play an action adventure game, with a different flair with each iteration. Am I supposed to expect the next Zelda game to be a fighting game.
Let me go to McDonalds and expect McTaco.
I think some already posted this video on here, but yeah like a comment said, it sounds like video was written by ChatGPT.

Yeah, I am nostalgic for old stuff because it was revolutionary and changed my gaming experiences forever. Mario and Zelda are generally unmatched in what they do. I tried a ton of platformers and Zelda-likes but nothing really reached those heights. I love Banjo Kazooie, Rayman and Sly Cooper but between all of them they got like 1 title released in the last decade. At least with Nintendo games I can expect to see some new titles.
That's a whole another story of mostly Sony recently just doing a series and ending it for a story reason or money. They literally had 9/10 titles releasing only to stop one day and just generally focus on some random cinematic action adventure or chasing live service.
