>>41031774I don't know shit about the communities around other nintendo franchises but are they really that much better than Pokefags?
Zelda, Mario and Smash have all had games out on the Switch that pushed boundaries and upped the scale in one way or another - and they all seem to be near-universally beloved.
Do those games have communities of people actually capable of critical thinking, so the devs have to put work in? Or could they get away with doing nothing but have the passion to make a great game anyway?
