>>14973Iwata era nintendo consoles were made to be an experience, the new consoles are bare bones, nutendo doesn't want to make free inclusions like that ever again
they don't even play music in the eShop anymore
>>14968>>14972>>14975I think the Zelda games strike a really good balance. The story is compelling but minimal, kind of like the pre-3D Pokemon games. The focus is on the gameplay but there are memorable characters like Marin, Malon, the guy who lives under the bridge, Link's Uncle, etc. I think GBA-Gamecube era they lose a lot of that powerful simplicity, but even then it never got as bad as new Pokemon did, at least in the ones I played.
Also I hate that Nintendo added voiced dialogue to the main series with BOTW.
