Not sure why people are surprised by Nintendo anymore. They have sat on their hands for the past 2+ years and still sold millions and millions of consoles. They have sat on their hands and still sold millions of copies of a 7 year old game (MK8) and quite a few of the best games on the Switch are still ports from the Wii U. Its basically become a ports console with the occasional triple A game on it if you are interested in a particular IP.
I doubt we will see MK9, another Mario (like Odyssey), Bayonetta, MP4, Pikmin 4 this generation. BOTW will come out for the end of next year despite it leaning very heavily on the current engine, assets and world and despite BotW coming out over 4 years ago now.
Nintendo has repeatedly dropped the ball this generation when it comes to games and many other things and just seem to laugh as people lap it up. They are like an awfully run company that just seem to make more and more money every year and no one can really see why.
Agree with this and the majority of your posts following it, I've made very similar complaints on here before, I've just had to accept that as a Wii-U owner and fan the Switch just can't offer me much, which is a damn shame as it's a fantastic SKU, one of my favourites, but ultimately it's just a Wii-U porting machine that prints money, If I play MK8 any more I'm honestly going to vomit, I can't suck anything more out of that game
I guess I'm just angry and frustrated, I love Nintendo, had all their systems since the original NES, although I've always had a high end PC Nintendo always ultimately gave me the most fun, the Switch SKU was what I dreamed of as a child, I always wanted that true console 'experience' on a handheld, probably last felt on the Sega Game Gear as that essentially was a handheld Master System but it was short lived, I expected so much more than reluctant purchases of games I've already played, with my GF constantly moaning "is there nothing new on this thing!", Nintendo was our glue
Metroid looks barely passable for a mobile game, how on earth do they think they are going to compete with the likes of Ori and Hollow Knight, I loved Metroid, I completed it again recently but the Metroidvania genre is so polished right now, nostalgia isn't going to be enough, I didn't see anything interesting in the Metroid Dread trailer, incredibly bland looking.
