It's a strong position for a company to do what Nintendo did back in the day and basically guarantee the quality of all games they publish. Except in this case that just means guaranteeing real fucking humans made the game and its assets.
Nintendo is like Disney in that they're always behind trend, which in bad times is a saving grace because they're not doing the newest shittiest thing.
They are also like Disney is that they have their own shitty thing they always do, and it's IP law bullshit
Speaking of Nintendo, they've really let the quality of their games go downhill in the last decade.
Gotta maximize that shareholder value.
The last decade? No way. Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Tears of the Kingdom, New Horizons, Mario Kart 8, DK Tropical Freeze, Splatoon 2 and 3, Smash Ultimate, Pokopia, Mario Wonder, Mario Maker 2, Metroid Dread, Pokemon Sun and Moon.
It's just been several years since they've delivered on a flagship. They gotta get out fresh Mario or Zelda, and an Animal Crossing wouldnt hurt either (But y'all sleepin on Pokopia)
Oh I'll play pokopia
when I can pirate it
Also Forgotten Land is the best Kirby game I've ever played.
I mean holy shit have you heard Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit? It's a straight up masterpiece of prog rock opera... in a babby pink blob game... how...
Played that fight, but was too enthralles by how utteely dope that fight was to truly hear it. Playing it standalone now and it's a banger. I dig the Battle of Blizzard Bridge, nice little Jazz Fusion piece perfect for a boss-rush: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIl1rmHwgoM , and Abandoned Beach, which is much more in the typical vein of a Kirby song with the the poppy, bubbly feel, but with some nice little Bossa Nova chord progressions https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UIPEZ0YPtWE Forgotten Land was solid for sure, and the best modern Kirby I've played, but Adventure will always hold a special place in my heart
