My love for Nintendo games has a direct correlation with how much I am frustrated at Nintendo for their harsh stance against emulation and their general shittiness towards customers.

I don’t get the hype… I watched the gameplay trailer and it looks intensely underwhelming. Ignoring the sales jabber, it looks like a big, empty world which, at its best, is a knockoff of No Man’s Sky. They barely show any shots that aren’t the PC staring at a big, uninspired vista or having bland combat in bland sets. Considering how Bethesda releases go, how AAA releaes in general go, and the fact that trailers like these are supposed to OVERsell the game, I’m not really all that interested right now.

It’s playable, but I’d learn the controls and interface on a desktop or on a dock with peripherals plugged in first. It’s built for a desktop experience right now, so things feel small on the handheld deck and the mapped controls are a little weird. That being said, I still enjoy it.

lately: against the storm. making a city builder into a roguelite was genius.
