Given all the controversy around the Switch 2 this really shows how Nintendo can do whatever they want and Nintendo's fanbase will follow them like a cult.

This does not bode well for the future of high quality Nintendo games.

I mean my desire to buy a switch was killed after reading all of this. I would have loved to finally get back into Zelda games (I would say Pokémon but they've seemed to be ass now) but I certainly ain't supporting this for Zelda. Lol

I recommend Tunic as a zelda-like alternative!

Also it is procedural generation open world and you have probably already tried it but Valheim is just so good...

I personally dislike Tunic due to the lies they have in the little booklet that's supposed to be your guide
