Nintendo is basically the only one who can get me to play multiplayer/online games like Mario Kart or my personal favorite that I did play competively, Splatoon. Literally that’s it. I would get into fighting games if I wasn’t ass because I do want to know more about their storylines, but I feel like a bitch if I just watch it.
The man thing that sets Splatoon apart is the fact that the voice chat is basically non-existant, so you don’t have to hear the endless slurs and rage from your teammates. The characters, plot, music, and art also really set it apart for me, but tbf those can be subjective and applicable to multiple games. But it’s a special game to me and our fanbase is rabid lol.
But yeah I absolutely love and almost solely play singleplayer games. JRPGs ftw!!!
Unfortunately Nintendo’s been on the trend of basically being digital too with those shitty keycards that will cease to work if you didn’t download the game before they eventually cut their servers (or if you try to play it for the first time in a place without wifi)
Nevermind the whole “We can brick your device whenever we feel like it”. I’m genuinely upset because Nintendo has so many IPs that I love and literally can’t play anywhere else. Especially the fact that they actually made interesting and unique hardware like the DS and Wii, which can be a pain to emulate rather than just having a jailbroken console. Plus there’s way more steps invloved with Switch emulation compared to old consoles.
I’ve got a huge game backlog, but I was really looking forward to this year and the next after that Switch 2 direct :(
