Tears of the Kingdom is freaking amazing! It better win GotY in December 

Good point, mobile gaming has probably been a big factor. I don't play mobile games, but I imagine there are quite a few Marvel and movie-based mobile games, and like you said, those are much easier to do than big budget console games. 

There were a ton of games where you played through the movie's plot in the early 2000s (although sometimes they changed little things in the game, like in Spider-Man 2). I think a big draw for parents and kids was having the same actor/voice actor in the games as the movie. 

Wow, thanks for the input! I think you're right, licensed games were a trend that is all but gone now, and now we ARE getting more movies based on video games, and they are much better (overall) than they used to be. 

Good point, they were often bad games that weren't well received, and expensive licenses plus diminishing sales would result in not making them in the first place. 

Okay, but it's worth it! This is seriously GOTY. I don't like the price increase either, but you're missing out on one of the best games ever made. 

One question: Why are you not playing Zelda???

Dude, how are you NOT playing Zelda right now? It's seriously GOTY, and I think it's actually better than BotW (it's bigger and better, and the story is way cooler). You should definitely get it. 

I'm so jealous! I'm gonna go to Super Nintenod World some day, just probably not this year. Anyways, the good news is that there is SO much potential for Nintendo to expand (like you said, all the non-Mario stuff), so I'm very excited to see what they do in the future. 

I love ninjas! Can you tell?
