@Friendly The way they make the games creates the final game. For their to be a new color existing, they would have to have infallible game creation. I'll give you a example. Look up the true Super Mario Bros 2. The criticism saint Miyamoto received was this: "As I continued to play, I found that Super Mario Bros. 2 asked me again and again to take a leap of faith, and each of those leaps resulted in my immediate loss. This was not a fun game to play. It was punishment – undeserved punishment. I put down my controller, astonished that Mr. Miyamoto had chosen to design such a painful game." Yep, the way they create games is amazing and always has been. Not.

@AJB83 @Msaturn @abrader Glad that you expressed this. I was watching it and was feeling that I just must have very old fashioned tastes or something. The tone/vibe it was all leaning toward just wasn't for me. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what it is that made me feel it, but a lot seem to be aiming for a 'cozy' vibe? Which is a bit of an overused term at this point, but I don't know. I am happy for anyone who likes anything here and that they get an audience/sales, but I am obviously not the demographic for what was on offer on this occasion.

Oh, have to agree with those that found the announcing/presenting style boring and a bit distracting. I think the way Nintendo handle it with one voice actor for all titles lends itself better to the overall presentation aspect. I realise that would probably take away the indie aspect if they got too involved though!

Would be nice if he gave a more detailed response. I went to art school. My professor asked me what color is this wooden table and I said brown, she said that if it was simply brown, it would look very boring, look closer, the tables woodgrain has many variations of brown, yellow, red. Look at concrete, a rusted metal shovel, a blue door, what makes all these things interesting to look at is the subtle variations in color and texture. Now I’m aware that this director is probably not talking about color but a thought process. That’s what I would like to hear more in-depth about.

@Anachronism You have to be joking. I literally have a copy of both games that say Nintendo Switch on them. They even work with the Nintendo Switch. In the article, it even says Way Forward teamed up with Nintendo. Nintendo worked with the other companies to make those two games and approved them in my example. Hey I'll give you some older examples though. Super Mario Bros 2 (USA) has only 2 continues, Super Mario Bros 3 has no saving. Zelda II is so hard that many players don't care about it and it is the lowest rated Zelda main line game.
