We've been lucky to have some smaller dev teams pump out 1-2 great games for the past few years like Balatro, Schedule 1, Palworld, and Crime Scene Cleaner. Unironically the game I'm waiting for the most is Kingmakers
Yeah, Nintendo could crash the gaming industry with this move and it wouldn't bother me because my Steam backlog is fat enough to last me through whatever bullshit the industry goes through.
ARMS has a leg up to this game because, despite ARMS being kind of a tech demo game using the joycons' gyro/motion controls it had a nice cast of characters (Spring Man, Twintelle and Min-min) . This game, while funny, lacks that charm being robot people with giant wheelchair legs and probably a baked in free seasonal pass for cosmetics to customize them (like in Splatoon 3).
i suspect it will use mii's rather then actual characters .

but but but nintendo bad!
I don't think a Nintendo game is worth $80. The investment time and cost of a Mario kart game, Pokemon, or Zelda, or any other Nintendo franchise, does not justify that cost. Nintendo rips its fandom off badly, selling what are essentially well-polished A or AA games with AAA prices.
so does everyone else tho? like seriously.
Final Fantasy XVI reportedly cost $60m to develop. Do you think Nintendo spent around the same amount of money making a Mario Kart game, or do you think they might have spent a lot less than that?
Yeah Kart definitely cost more
This isn't about how "fun" a game is, you can have fun with a cheap game, and you can find an expensive game boring or unengaging. AAA is loosely defined by how high development and advertising costs are for a game, and I don't think Nintendo games are AAA games, or warrant AAA pricing.Yeah Kart definitely cost more
why is this the retarded metric your measuring game price by? Instead of lemme get the list here *ahem*
How well made the game is.(Cost as Quality) How much time you spend playing the game.(Cost as Time) How much fun you have/had with it (Cost as Entertainment)
Instead of the arbitrary amount of money they threw at the thing or are you telling me AC Shadows is worth a damn.
So you're just going to ignore the figure I posted before?
How did Tears of the Kingdom cost $100m when they're using a near-identical map and engine as Breath of the Wild, released on the same console? What am I missing here?
- 6 year development time
Nintendo games are not triple A because of an arbitrary metric decided by you.
I didn't know this, thanks for telling me.
When I think of a AAA game, I think high budget, which is not only evidenced by high-quality graphics, but also stories involving large casts, expansive environments, complex game systems that interact with eachother, and so forth. I don't see a lot of this with Nintendo games.
Yea, promo material leaks. Looks like this is a Hellfire Gala Alt costume. Looks to confirm her and Ultron for Season 2.
All Souls games and Elden Ring could be defined as PvPvE.
