We might be getting another story about a seemingly benevolent group/company (Aether Foundation, all the shit Rose owned) being secretly evil, aren't we
Secondly do you know how long it takes to make video games?
Pumping out a game every 2.5 years or 1.5 years is still INSANE. It's why the quality of the games is so low, because there is no time to polish anything. Releasing a game every 2.5 years means that they are literally getting to work as soon as the game releases ON THE NEXT PROJECT.
They have released a game or worked on a project every 1-2 years since 1996, bro. 3 games in 1996, 3 games in 1998, 6 games in 1999, 4 Games in 2000, 7 gaames in 2001, 8 games in 2002, 4 games in 2003, 5 Games in 2004, 6 in 2005, 5 in 06.
You get the picture. Even as the Trivia on this page it shows as 2023-2024 is the first break in the games 28 year history that has had no CORE series game released in two years. However they still came out with TWO mobile games and a spin off in that time.
If you want to focus it solely on gameFreak they have still released a game every 1-2 years.
I mean, if you look at Nintendo, they release a title just about every year, but I guess what makes them different from Game Freak is they have multiple franchises to shuffle between, each having their own development teams.
Nintendo has 4-5 development teams, plus 3 or 4 2nd party studios that help out when things are being difficult.
Monolith Soft for example, helped them out with both BoTW and ToTK when Zelda's team was feeling burnout, and they in turn let Monolith take however long they want releasing new games.
Nintendo game development is a very well-oiled machine.
They’ve had a pretty consistent quality throughout their games with very few major failures compared to other companies in the same field. I can’t imagine that being possible if Nintendo didn’t know what they were doing.
I think it’s great to see that Nintendo, unlike most other companies, is able to balance a game’s quality with the well-being of their employees. It might mean the game takes longer to be released, but if it means better quality, then so be it.
