Honestly start from 1 and just redo it - 1 isn't a long game if you do main + side quests. I did the same as it had been years and didn't have the saves for either 1 or 2 anymore, no regrets. Legendary edition improves stuff too, so that's a bonus.

To cross over two different conversations I wouldn't mind having 1 on the switch to fly thru it

I'm buying a new Mario Kart on day one and will fight anyone who gets in my way.

Mario Kart is a GOAT game, you aint a gamer if you dont twitch over Mario Kart.

Milking how? They have pretty high quality control for their major franchises so don't just release any old game with mario slapped on it. If it's about remakes or whatnot, isn't that pretty much industry standard

Not that I really care, I just enjoy lots of their games a lot and love the switch as a console. They could milking stuff that I pay no attention to tbh.

Any new anything ever has a coincidental Mario release, there has to be one, they have names and records to maintain. Game quality from a "is it functional/polished" perspective is definitely high, but it's always the safest option; from the company that used to regularly invent/push new things, it's disappointing.
They've also cracked down massively on game preservation, emulation and other practices for their old games, while simultaneously refusing to release any updated versions, as everything is corporate/profits now, and nothing else.

They do make some great games, and that tends to overshadow controversy though, which is okay I guess - Ubisoft were the same early on in the 2010s with the first assassin creeds and the far cry and the likes, as the games were so good that people were willing to look away from the obvious negatives, which were piling up.

Honestly more power to anyone that likes them, I can clearly see why, it's just not my thing.

As is also proprietary "only on this device" BS in the current years.

I think with the newest consoles there's a slight chance, depends on the legendary edition being ported I think. It is quite old tech (at this current point) so porting should be possible.

Also semirelated - I have a mate who works for a studio that does a lot of ports and he said that to/from Switch ports were both the easiest and hardest cuz most things seem like they are/should be easy but they just never are as easy to perfect.

I'd say Wonder and Odyssey suggest they still innovate with Mario. Zeldas last two outings have lots of new ideas.

The other stuff yeah, it's like I said, something I don't see impacts me so don't think about it much as it doesn't change the enjoyment of having these games on handheld or the fun of the latest Zelda

Nintendo gets a pass for life because of eye, golden eye! Shaken, stirred and 4 ways in the Aztec arena. Who said body armour camping isn't allowed.

Absolutely understandable mate and no doubt good/polished games, so it makes sense.

I do want a PC tho. I've never tried the world of mods and that. Most likely get a steam deck at least and get a TV dock with it

In an ideal world I'd be all over a Switch. Can't really justify the outlay for what would probably be 4 games

It ended up being my go to for both the big Nintendo games and the many great indie games like hollow knight that I would play a lot of on handheld

Then the other stuff is on the TV with the ps5
