Animal Crossing is a big one. It barely does anything to set itself apart from the rest, so if you've played any of those then you've pretty much already played New Horizons. I know that's been a complaint with the series for a while but this being a big new console release, and the first game in eight years, really hammered it in. The big price tag didn't help, either.

Yoshi's Crafted World was okay, better than some of the other games in the series for sure. It was just really short for a 'big' game and relied on a lot of repetition to hide that. The Switch has a fair number of games that are way shorter than they should be, Kirby Star Allies is another one. If you can go back a few generations and get more of an experience for less then there's a problem somewhere.

Having the entire island to terraform and decorate is like the biggest change the Animal Crossing series has ever had. It's certainly not perfect and post-launch support has been more lackluster than I would've hoped for, but to say it's just the same old thing is ridiculous.

I'm pretty cautiously optimistic. Nintendo generally has a habit of making dumb decisions that hurt otherwise outstanding games and Pokemons been even worse.

Origami King is my chief example, the standard battle system just wasn't very good. I still played the crap out of it, but the battles definitely held it back for me.

I'll definitely be buying this day one and I'm insanely hyped for it, but I'm keeping my expectations grounded. Better to get a pleasant surprise than to be disappointed.

cool, this look better than I was expecting.
