>>55269103>that weird soulslike one?We don't know anything about it yet other than promotional art. Even the title is tentatively "Project Bloom".
>Remember how shit little town hero was?The worst thing I heard about it was that it was completely average and boring. If it was actually a trash fire full of glitches and shit then we would see videos and images of it. I once looked at the reviews for it and nearly every negative review was seething about Sword and Shield.
>>55269122The problem is lack of originality. Pocket Card Jockey was an original concept that stuck out and had its own gameplay niche. Meanwhile Tembo and Giga Wrecker were just 2D platformers, a genre with no shortage of games. I loved Giga Wrecker but when you have games like Metroid Dread, the Mario series and a trillion indie sidescrollers on the eShop, how's it going to stand out? Honestly it's just hard for games in general to stand out these days. Even developers that have plenty of clout like Platinum still struggle at times. Remember Cereza? The Bayonetta spin-off that was shilled in Nintendo Directs and on Nintendo's youtube channel? Absolutely fucking bombed. And Game Freak still had this issue even when their reputation was good. Masuda complained that Pokémon fans weren't interested in trying their other games like Pocket Card Jockey or Harmoknight, and Harmoknight even had Pokémon levels to entice them.
