I'm not sure if you played Breath of the Wild or Odyssey but I don't think they're mining nostalgia with the Switch. There are certainly callbacks but those games are as fresh and as impressive as I've seen in my ~20 years of gaming. YMMV, of course...but I have really been impressed with Nintendo's approach to refining gameplay and genre.
The Switch has seen some pretty decent third party support on the Switch (Doom, Rocket League w/Crossplay, FIFA, NBA, Elder Scrolls) that haven't really been around in prior generations. It seems like indie games are flooding to the Switch. We'll see if large third party support sticks around but I think as long as the games sell, people will port/develop for the Switch.
I love Nintendo's approach this generation. I've really enjoyed diving into their games after barely playing the Wii and completely skipping the Wii U. This definitely feels like a resurgence - but obviously we'll see in 6-12 months. But they're definitely back on everyone's radar.
- eric_h 9y agoBreath of the Wild is the best Zelda game in the series (IMO, and I haven't played either the Gamecube or Wii U games). On top of that they are still releasing content for it! I bought the switch to play Zelda (back in March) and I'm still playing it now. Admittedly I don't have that much time for games and I'm trying to 100% BotW.
- PurpleRamen 9y agoI wouldn't call it the best game. It's a good game, and quite popular, but also very flawed. It's probably the best 3D-Zelda, but personally I prefer the 2D-Zeldas anytime because they work better as a game. BotW is more an experience that happend to also offer some game-elements.
