Be it room decor in Happy Home Paradise, your squad in Pikmin Bloom, friends around online N64 games, or the big picture from Nintendo’s financials, Random Nintendo discusses everything coming together.
NE: "We're looking at ACNH and ACNL to determine which is the better game and how future entries can learn from both of them."
After the hype wore off during the height of COVID I found New Horizons disappointing compared to. Ew Leaf
NH gave us a lot more cool features but then took things away which they slowly drip fed us with poor updates
Crazy how much it sold and how popular it was during COVID and it got such terrible support
We need more control in the next game, the fact we couldn’t move the airport or town hall was ridiculous and certain items were randomised, like I could get a black lamppost unless a friend gave me one of his because mine were green.
In the end I still prefer New Leaf, one of the most important factors being the breakable tools. It gets pretty annoying when you have to keep making bug nets, fishing rods etc in New Horizons.
It came out at the perfect time and was completely abandoned save for a couple of small updates. Those months after release could have taken the game to a whole other level but I guess Nintendo wasn’t impressed with the number of active players.

A few Mario classics are on the way to a Switch near you.
I'm happy for more GB games, and these are pretty solid titles, but why haven't we gotten the original SMB Land? It may not be considered one of the better Mario platformers, but I still enjoy it and have fond memories of it as one of the first GB games I ever purchased. I can understand us getting SMB Land 2 first, as it's more traditional to the series, but I hope they don't skip part 1 all together.
PS and Xbox constantly get berated for their sub services but Nintendo always seem to get a free pass and their service is shocking compared to the others
