Game Freak has fallen well, well short here, partially based on their own design choices, partially based on the hard limits of the Switch.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. I mean, players are used to the handheld versions of the mainline games which don’t rely on graphics at all (though most are better stylized than what we’re seeing here) and Arceus offers enough new for Pokémon and realizes many long-term dreams for the series where most players will be able to look past its visual shortcomings.īut…imagine if we didn’t have to? Imagine if we got an exploration-based game like Arceus that also was beautiful? I wish Nintendo didn’t need to have these tradeoffs.
Will this affect the end result of Arceus? Almost certainly not.
Whatever magic was infused into Zelda is wholly absent from Arceus here.
Yes, that can be games like Mario Odyssey or Splatoon, but obviously the one open world game everyone will bring up is Breath of the Wild, a vast map that sure, is a bit barren compared to others in the genre, and yet the art direction is so good here, it was one of the most gorgeous-looking games of the past generation all the same. For a while now, Nintendo has been able to compensate for its lower power by stylizing its games to look bright and colorful and rich without needing some huge power edge. Now it’s closer to two generations behind.īut that’s probably not even the main factor here. The first is the power of the Switch, which is so far behind what we’ve come to expect from modern day consoles or PC titles or hell, even mobile games in some instances, that it’s no wonder everyone is baffled Nintendo isn’t coming out with an upgrade for the four year old unit, which already launched about a generation behind its competition in terms of power.
