Nintendo should look at Kena: Bridge of Spirits and feel embarrassed

[Marcus Aurelius]

I know the Nintendo sharks are going to come for my blood but I could not care less, because frankly you're wrong. Dead wrong. Zelda should look like this by now.

This is Ember Lab's debut game....And oh, they're also responsible for this.

Fine, sure, they're making money hand over fist with the Switch, but by going all in on Handheld, Nintendo have sacrificed an amazing future on the alter of their bottom line, and it hurts me in my heart. It truly does.

 

[Vylder]

How long is Kena exactly?

 

[DNAbro]

That's a PS5 game.

Nintendo does not make games for the PS5, they make games for the Switch.

 

[Necro Felipe]

Nintendo Switch and First-Party sales don't believe in any word that you wrote here.

 

[Imran]

I bet this well-considered take goes over great

 

[ILikeFeet]

That's a PS5 game.

PS4 game

 

[Lady Bow]

Pixar vs. Cell-Shading, apples and oranges. Graphics aren't everything.

 

[ContractHolder]

Why would they be embarrassed when people are excited about the sequel and think it looks nice?

 

[Vertpin]

That's a PS5 game.

It's on PS4 as well.

 

[Porygon]

I see my small Switch tablet, then I look at my big ass PS5...

Why you can't be that powerful oh little Switch?

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

What are you doing?

 

[Meg Cherry]

It's cute you think Nintendo would've delivered a 4K 60fps console this gen, even if they went all-in on home console development.

 

[Dyle]

Not everything needs to look like a Dreamworks movie

 

[maximumzero]

Man, folks are still beating the "Nintendo should go for cutting edge graphics!" drum after the success of both the Wii and Switch, huh?

 

[Protome]

Well, there's definitely one person who should be embarrassed about this thread I guess.

 

[Zalman]

Why have people convinced themselves graphics are important in the grand scheme of things

 

[Quinton]

And Mario should look like this by now:

 

[DeoGame]

With all due respect as a real jaded Nintendo fan who mostly jumped ship to Xbox, gameplay matters far more than graphics. Zelda continues to raise the bar in game design.

 

[Hellwarden]

I mean, it's certainly pretty, but I don't see anything that'll stick with me to be totally honest.

It's just a pretty looking game.

 

[jett]

Breath of the Wild looks great, buddy.

 

[Anteo]

why use pretty graphics when you can sell over 20m at full price with wii u era software

 

[VinFTW]

This is the worst take ive seen on era in a while

 

[MoonDesigner]

Look at these nuts on your chin instead

 

[Fantastical]

OP should look at this thread and feel embarrassed.

 

[nopattern]

It looks better, but is it a better game then BOTW? No? Cool.

I'm sure Nintendo is shaking. Mortified!

the Gameboy was a teaser of things to come

 

[MouldyK]

What is up with these weird threads lately?

I'll let Jonneh and Xbox take this one:

 

[Raigor]

Inflammatory title? Check
Dumb comparison? Check
Is this the week-end? Not yet.

 

[808s & Villainy]

NIntendo should feel ashamed they can't get Switch titles to look as good as PS4 titles

 

[Kalor]

That's not a handheld game and is also a shortish linear action game. They aren't really comparable, unless you want new mainline Zelda games to take even longer in development.

 

[CabooseMSG]

I'd take Zelda's artstyle over the blandness of Kena any day

 

[DNAbro]

PS4 game

Does it not have a PS5 version?

 

[Lant_War]

Mario should look like this

 

[MWorldII]

Yeah, but even on PS5 the world in Kena is static.
Nintendo favorited mechanics and gameplay, not just visual.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Erm...thats a take.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Although I agree Zelda could look better... The Switch is what it is, expecting it to pump out visuals like that is pointless.

 

[Dedazen]

How long is Kena exactly?

Click to shrink...

8-10 hours

 

[Nere]

I am sure they feel extremely embarrassed about the Zelda series, especially after the reception of BotW.

 

[Desma]

And Mario should look like this by now:

Nintendo should be embarassed for not HIRING THIS MAN

 

[Rogote]

 

[Reinhardt Schneider]

OP should read again his post and feel embarrassed.

 

[Richter1887]

this take... I can't

 

[Zebesian-X]

Cease this nonsense

 

[Mocha Joe]

This is one of the weirder threads I have seen.

Xbox and I are a good team

 

[Dr. Ludwig]

Heh, knew this take would spring up.

But no, Nintendo will not be embarrassed by a mediocre and boring action-adventure game propped up by pretty graphics.

 

[Damn Silly]

NINTENDO, HIRE THIS MAN, TEAM!

Anyway, nah

 

[metalslimer]

Lmao

I'm sure Nintendo who made one of the best selling and best reviewed games ever with breath of the wild is truly embarrassed by an indie game made on a stronger hardware
