And there's absolutely nothing anyone else can do about it.

Was reading Elden Ring twitter n for some reason, Botw kept getting mentioned in some posts.

Was confused, then I understood immediately what was going on.

Nintendo lives rent-free in the psyche of so many gamers(barring the computer sect, they're weirdos best left alone with their kiddie porn mod packages) because they've been at it so long and they're still a pivotal development house.

So many groundbreaking series have died or become unrecognizable to what they started as.

Not Nintendo though. A purebred lineage of game design mastery that all the glitz and gloss of contemporaries can't outshine.

They're not perfect but they're as close as it gets.

Elden Ring comes from Dark Souls which came from Demons Souls which came from Zelda which was begot by Ultima...which is dead.

But Zelda is still very much alive, and it's seeds are everywhere.

In Fromsoft, Team Ico games, indies bleed Zelda and Metroid dna.

It's gotta wear on the ego that so much of what you love, sprang from the 3.5 inch dikk of a Japanese weirdo gardening fetishist that you hate or are jealous of.

Whole game industry has a crush on Nintendo but chases them around the playground saying he's got cooties to mask that elevated heartbeat and sweaty palms.

Rent-free my friends.

T'is all.

Nintendo is arguably the best developer out there but a lot of times their games are mentioned because their fanboys need to interject and act like everything they do is the absolute best and pure gold. There is no comparison between Elden Ring and BOTW overall. I could see one saying BOTW is the better game if you just like physics sandboxes, but that's about it.

I came in thinking OP's post was going to be thought provoking, turn around I lowkey got shytted on along with the rest of the folks in here:picard:. Nintendo got GOAT development but WOAT customer practices. I mean what's the point of having games on the Nintendo Online library front when a year later they can shut that down and fukk my feelings:francis:

Nintendo makes really polished games. Mario Odyssey just feels so good to play compared to most platformers.

What helps Nintendo is that they aren't trying to maximize profits all the time.

They are the WOAT with their online service though.
