>I used to say "Nintendo game devs good, Nintendo corporate bad," but now I don't even really agree with that. Switch 2 was the first Nintendo console I had absolutely no interest in since the SNES.
I got a Switch 2, tried out Mario Kart World, got sick of it real quickly I never figured out the pre-patch trick to nearly guarantee a lapped race in public online during my time with the game, and returned the whole shebang after a week. They can make strong specific mechanics and ideas still, but I've come to realize that they've become hopelessly terrible at putting ideas together into a sensible and cohesive package. They've also lost sight of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. Making Breath of the Wild open world made sense on some level, since Zelda was facing issues by becoming increasingly railroaded and hyperlinear (not to mention declining sales besides TP); Mario Kart wasn't in need of such a major pivot, so implementing it anyway hurt World badly.
