The Switch is all I have as far as modern hardware goes, and it was a gift.

The AAA stuff coming out for the Playstation and Xbox consoles don't interest me much, not enough to cough up the amount of money those systems cost.

I'm a retro gamer and when I'm not playing my Switch I play older games via emulation.

Hot take: platformers are overrated. The 1st tier games are amazing but after that the quality has a steep cliff. There was only so much you could do with 8 and 16 bit consoles and I assume the 2d platformer became an easy go to until every game was just the same thing with different art assets.

Also Kirby is boring.

The platformer is one of the most diverse genres out there and it always has been, it's such a flexible genre because of it's simplicity.

"They're all the same all you do is move right and jump on stuff" is such a bogus criticism like yeah you figured it out every genre can be described in a really dumbed down way like that, it's especially funny coming from people who are into turn based RPGs like that's the most complex genre out there, c'mon.

Also platformers are objectively the best genre, sorry.

My criticism isn't against the concept of the platformer, but that there was a huge glut of trash back in the day and a lot of the better ones were still only as good as you were determined to make it past all the cheap deaths. The influence of arcade games murdering you for quarters was dubious as ****.

It seems like it is when you lament the fact that it's popular.

You can say this about every video game genre and literally everything in general. Sturgeon's law.

How is this a platformer problem? You telling me that RPGs or shooters don't have cheap deaths?

Platformers barely had a presence in the arcades, consoles have always been where they thrived, I can't make any sense of this criticism.
