Nintendo (adult) fanboys are so bad. It reminds me of Xbox/PS fanboys a decade ago, only that seems to have thankfully shrunk in prominence because I assume most have grown up. Whereas Nintendo's has only seemed to grow.

Criticism of any Nintendo game is met with some serious wrath in Nintendo communities. Especially if it's Zelda.

The same people who scoff at filthy xbox peasants playing at less than 4K @240fps with maxed out graphics are the first to say "graphics aren't that important" whenever I mention how long in the tooth the switch is.

I like a decent bit of Nintendo stuff. Donkey Kong, Metroid, whatever are fine.

But they're 2D platformers that aren't notably better than at least dozens of others that are $20-30 full price and get discounts close to Nintendo's in terms of dollars off. Ignoring dark vs not, Mario Wonder and Metroid Dread are charging the same as stuff like Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, BG3, etc that are massively larger in scope and investment. Until those things get discounted and Nintendo's 2D games don't.
