That’s very disappointing to hear. Dread is an excellent game but that appears to be in spite of the environment it was made it. I think MercurySteam has a lot of potential and if Nintendo continues to collaborate with them, perhaps they can better monitor the situation. Unfortunately, I’ll be pretty wary of any games with their name on it going forward.
I think it’s going to be interesting to see the numbers when the expansion pass releases. People have grumbled about Nintendo’s past decisions but it was either buy it or tough. Joy con drifting? Buy another one. Waiting for Mario 3D All Stars to go on sale? We’re permanently delisting it.
Now we’re in a situation where what Nintendo is offering is more or less a frivolous add on of no real importance and debatable value. Base Switch add on is pretty bad but it satisfies the basic necessity of allowing you to play games online. For many, I suspect that’s enough.
People need to remember that Shigesato Itoi isn’t interested in making new Mother games, hence Nintendo isn’t either. I wish they’d port them to the NSO virtual console though. Gorgeous comic.
The man was instrumental in shaping the identity of Dragon Quest and the JRPG. Unfortunately I’m not going to overlook the kind of person he was underneath, nor should anyone, but I’m looking forward to seeing how his monumental musical legacy is carried on.

Re: Metroid Dread Studio Hit With Allegations Of Poor Organisation And Management
@Blizzia why wouldn’t they speak up at a time when the studio is in the public zeitgeist. Far more likely their story will catch people’s attention.
