>>717387141It has nothing to do with MC being a girl and everything with those games being SHIT
The execs are fucking retarded and think people cannot be interested in those characters (after years of decent success of franchises like Metroid, Bayonetta, Tomb Raider etc)
Peach's game sucks mechanically
Echoes sucks mechanically
Just make a normal fucking game instead of trying to pander to a nebulous 5 years old girl in your audience
Yes, there's a certain subset of insecure males that never want to buy a game where you play a girl but there's also a subset of women that readily buy games that are ostensibly "big boy" games but where you play as a girl so it should even out
My point is, geriatric execs at Nintendo are out of touch. I don't understand why there can't be a middle fucking ground, why does a game with a girl also has to be a "girl game" with Nintendo but in the main titles Zelda can't be a real character and always gets put into a fridge for Link to rescue even though the writers keep trying to give her character traits and agency and not be stuck in 1980s format forever.
