I thought we would get more out of Mario Kart World. Open World Mario Kart sounds like such a great idea, and they started down the road but just let the premise die on the vine. My son got his money's worth out of his but it didn't keep my daughter's attention, she went right back to Roblox. I got a lot of play out of another round of Tecmo Bowl but thought there would be at least one other game I would have enjoyed. I can't finish my backlog on PC, though, I haven't even started on EU5 or Dispatch.
It's sad to watch companies become the soulless, mean-spirited bottom-line caricatures of themselves they have often been portrayed as in the media.

I played the 1st BOTW game on my PC emulated Wii-U with a PS4 controller in 4k. I thought it was just OK. I didn't even bother with the 2nd one.

Cool, I thought I was the only one in the world who gets nothing out of the two latest 3D Zeldas. They're visually washed-out, they have these giant empty-looking environments, and I hate the breakable weapons. "Throw bombs at everything" doesn't appeal to me. I just want to play normal Zelda games, not whatever these are.
It's like everything people like these two games for, Elder Scrolls and Elden Ring did better, and I can only conclude that Nintendo fanatics didn't play either of those so they're really impressed with BOTW.
I think I've gone into this before, but I grew up with normal traditional 2D and 3D Zeldas. Now it's like pulling teeth trying to find a new Zelda to play that actually feels normal. Besides BOTW and the sequel, I also have Echoes of Wisdom and Skyward Sword still unplayed. Well, one of those uses motion controls that often suck (I was barely able to get through the first flight section in the Switch version of SS) while the other has you summoning things all the time instead of just fighting normally. I want to swing a sword, not summon tables and chairs. We know Zelda can swing a sword because she had one in Twilight Princess.
Yeah, it seems if I want a normal Zelda I have to go way back in time at this point and replay one of the ones I already played to death in the distant past. I should have appreciated Twilight Princess more (I wasn't that into it compared to the ones before it) since it was basically the last normal Zelda game.

The first one wasn't bad, but you could see major issue's if all they were gonna do is continue to expand on the Open World system they designed.
Sadly Nintendo do what Nintendo do, and Tears is just BoTW 1.2 with a whole underworld section that is literally a copy/paste of the overworld, with some "additions" I guess you could call it.
As far as I'm concerned Nintendo is spent, the new CEO's are just number cruncher's who have been slowly destroying every system Iwata worked for.

The emulator had mod/cheat toggles to remove weapon wear , infinite stamina , and to make it where you could have metal gear during a thunderstorm. I thought the same thing, this is for people that have never played ES games. Hell I was that way for Morrowind, I would name saves 'show xxxx (my brother) the wind/snow/etc.
