Haven't had the urge to buy a Nintendo game since the GameCube. Sure, the Wii was fun at parties back in the day but that's about it. I've tried the new Mario and Zelda games but they always look and feel like low effort garbage meant to snare the same croud as "Disney adults".
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I honestly can't fathom calling Mario or Zelda games low effort on the developers part. It seems like a lot of time and care go into them, for the most part.
