It's not only that Nintendo's offerings + indie + bigger third parties have been Nintendo's best in generations, but what the hell is going on with the rest of the industry?
The complete lack of anything I find compelling on competing platforms this generation is almost worrying to me at this point. Gaming outside the Nintendo bubble feels dead to me. I don't think this is an age thing either... it's more like this new generation has been a complete bust. Maybe this will change as the generation matures but rn I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything here or even announced for other platforms. I'm actually at a point where there are more third party remasters/remakes that interest me than new games.
I attribute this to covid/rising development costs/no risks being taken/third parties getting snatched up.
It's kind of a downer tbh.
