I skipped any Persona games until I bought P4G on Vita. So, for me, although I can see and appreciate how much P5 (especially Royal) is a better game, I am totally biased toward 4 and enjoy it the most. I will buy it on anything it comes out. 😅 I am not a huge fan of 3.

@BloodNinja you are right, and then some. 3D started way, way back, mainly in flight and race sims (even going back to ZX Spectrum/ C64 days).

PlayStation had an upper hand due to going the CD way instead of cartridges but N64 was way better at handling sprites so traditional 2D games were so much better on N64.
2D games using sprites were atrocious on PlayStation.

As we all know, BoTW is a WiiU game, and had features removed to be a Switch one.

@GUSWANG I'm sorry, did you try to write something meaningful there? Your reply looks like something a chat bot would produce. A 1996 chat bot. Try again.

@GUSWANG it's XBOX Series X... there is no "One" there.
Sorry, but no, PCs can't easily match next gen consoles, especially not PS5. You are looking at the issue from a GPU only perspective and that is a gross simplification. From the storage perspective this quickly becomes a very expensive value proposition. You need the newest PCIe4 NVMe storage and then everything else to support such transfers and even then, you don't have the highly specialised solutions that PS5 will have.
You easily end up with a PC that costs $2000 versus what? A console that will be $600? $500?
The next gen of consoles will absolutely be revolutionary, less so in the visual department how much they will affect the way games will be able to be made and run. It will be a huge change which will affect design processes and thus will have creative effect as well (will give more freedom to creators, setting them free of previous gen restrictions).
In either case, gamers are the ones who will benefit from all of this so I am good. Nintendo doesn't need all that and this is fine. MS and Sony do, so this is where they are going to go.

@nessisonett I mean, the amount of obliviousness in the comments is just staggeringly laughable.
I am all for the Switch. I have two. It's an amazing console, I especially love Switch Lite, and WiiU was my most beloved console of the PS4/XBO/WiiU era, but some of the people in the comments are just sleepwalking.
"PCs already done that" LOL. No.

@TheAwesomeBowser if I didn't know any better I would have sworn that Nintendo hired a bunch of EA executives.

@carlos82 and in glorious 60 fps. The devs are masters of programming for Nintendo consoles.

@Kalmaro why was your comment down voted? LoL @5 fanboys. It's already here on PS Now and unlike Stadia the service is awesome if your internet connection, but even more importantly, your internal home network (modern, AC, routers) can support it. Not my choice of how I game, I would still choose a dedicated machine, be it the Switch, Playstation or the PC, but it's clearly here and not in any experimental phase 😂

@Harmonie @HenryKissinger WiiU is for me the best console Nintendo made. It was destroyed by an inept marketing.
Imagine what would BoTW be like had they not had to abandon the wiiu as the main platform (all the second screen functionality).
3D World on WiiU is the best new Mario game to date. Odyssey is good but not 3D World good.

Glad to see a WiiU game at the top spot (fine, in its Switch incarnation, but we all know which platform it was meant to be for)

@nessisonett got Switch lite x2 for the kids this xmas. It's an outstanding product. For those who do not look for tv gaming with Switch its the way to go!

@MsJubilee I am 100 hours in and I really can't make sense of your comment. You either have not touched this game or you've given up after first two hours.

The quality of comments on this one is stellar 😂
My take is that it's his inner child that's speaking 👍

@rdrunner1178 well said. Although I'm a Playstation first, my Nintendo-fu is kept in good shape.
Wii-U was the most consumer friendly (100% software and hardware backwards compatible with its predecessor) and the most revolutionary console to come out in some time until then, only undone by bad marketing (they should have called it Wii HD and the world would have been a different place now).
One of the greatest games this gen (BotW) would have been even greater on its original platform if they hadn't nerfed it for the likes of Switch (it not having a dedicated screen that would be your real life Sheikah Slate). And so on.

@rjejr well, some of us are missing your contributions to the comments section at that "other" site.
Hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?

@maceng Great to hear of your daughter's success! What a great fighter she is! Does she enjoy music and if yes what are her favorite tunes? Lots of love to your little girl.

@InklingOrange I suspect that you are very very young or very very damaged. One day you may realise how insensitive your comment is. When you do realise, do not give yourself too much of a hard time. Just realise your mistake and decide to be a better person from that point onward.

In the meantime, please understand, that no one, absolutely no one in that position would use his/her child very demanding state for a marketing ploy. So sad you even thought about it.

@Damo I understand what you are trying to say, my point being that the current structure of that paragraph does not do your thinking justice.
It is fine and valiant to admire this person's or any other's perseverance and strength of character WITHOUT saying that others would probably buckle under the pressure and give up. In fact, if you really spend some time and investigate the lives of people with children with special needs you will more likely find more examples of people finding the strength for extra efforts than examples where people would have "thrown their hands up in despair and simply given up". This type of thinking and deduction related to this subject is very childish. I am sorry for being so blunt, but there is no other way of saying it sincerely.

This type of admiration for others /doubt in one's self capabilities is usually expressed by people who are currently not in a similarly demanding time in their life as the one above.
The truth is, if you had a child with special needs you would be capable of doing everything and then some.

Mr. McFerran, I realise you had no intention to insult but this paragraf, unless clarified doesn't sound good.
"...but it's tempting to wonder how many other mere mortals would have thrown their hands up in despair and simply given up when faced with the same kind of reality."

I get what you are trying to say and how you are trying to elevate and put value on this person's perseverance, but to insinuate that any other parent would do any less for their child (healthy or with special needs) shows lack of compassion that probably stems from lack of life experience.

Maybe your sentiment would be better represented by saying something like:
"You might say that this Herculean effort has an end goal - supporting his young family, as Happ freely admits - but it's tempting to wonder how many more people would find the energy to continue developing a game when faced with the same kind of reality."
