why does every Nintendo franchise have to be open world now? Why can this company not get over Breath of the Wild?

>the only good open world there is Xenoblade X, a game that wasn't made by Nintendo
really makes you think

>Wonder wasn't open world.

>Why is a company copying a formula that made them more millions of sales than previous installments in a franchise.
Truly a mystery, anon. Better call Scooby and gang to solve this one.

Boring, check this five instead

I don't see how animal crossing is any more open than the gamecube one

i think it's fine if it's just a phase where nintendo was interested in the idea of constantly rewarding players for poking around and exploring an open world stuffed with findables to produce maximum dopamine/player engagement. but yeah it's time to move on and try to innovate in a different direction, i think the magic trick has worn off for a lot of players

That's literally a stage select screen overworld. You could say NSMB U is open world by your definition then.

So is Super Mario 3D World an open world because of its map screen? Gonna need to update your chart.

can't believe mario was open world on the snes

>>714159815
youre retarded

You are so stupid you made me LOL

In what way is Super Mario Wonder, a 2D side-scrolling game, "open world"? However, I agree that Zelda needs to return to its roots, as open worlds sucks for these types of games

Nintendo has reached 2007

Mario Land 2 was like this

>>714159484 (OP)
I can't speak for all of them but Xenoblade X was much better than 1 and Pokemon SV was much better than SwSh so maybe they're on the right track

We need Yamauchi back.
