Nintendo’s design philosophy of unique innovation has resulted in its presentation of each of its gaming systems as very distinct. Nintendo has traditionally placed a lot of emphasis on continually reinventing the physical aspect of the user’s interface with its games. With the introduction of the Nintendo Switch last March, however, it is time for them to stop reinventing the wheel.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "With the Castlevania Dominus Collection, Konami has once again preserved an important slice of its history. Not only that, but the company has turned in one of the finest collections of the year. Indeed, thanks to three must-play DS games, innovative porting work, a slew of special features and quality-of-life upgrades, and a surprisingly strong remake of a former franchise dud, it's among the best collections released under the Konami banner in the last five years. If you missed the original games on DS, or just want to play them again in a more convenient, complete package, this is the compilation for you."
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has all of the amazing hallmarks of the series, yet feels completely innovative, unique, and fresh.
Somehow this game of the year contender risks flying way under the radar.
Nintendo doesn't seem all that invested in adding multimedia features to Switch unfortunately, nor do they seem aggressive in adding gaming features that its competitors have
"nintendo" and "needs to" in the same sentence is no good
I don't blame them for not focusing on multimedia services, for now. I believe they are more focused on making the user experience as far as gaming goes as best they can. We live in a world where many people (notice, said many not all) have multiple devices that do these things anyways. Sure, it's a "nice to have" feature, but don't necessarily find it mandatory unless you're one of those few who exclusively rely on just one device for everything.
Nintendo doesn't make all in one devices. They make ancillary systems that pretty much require you to have another device to use basic features
