/vr/ - Retro Games

The game that single-handedly doomed the Gamecube. I‘m not even joking; WW‘s cartoony graphics and dopey character designs were the polar opposite of what people wanted in the early 2000's, especially after that Spaceworld demo. There‘s a reason why so many games from that period went the "edgy" route; that‘s what people were into back then. WW cemented Nintendo’s "kiddy" image at the worst possible time. If the game had looked more like Twilight Princess, people would‘ve gone absolutely nuts over it, and it would’ve sold a ton of Gamecubes. Alas, we got Toon Link instead, and when Twilight Princess eventually came out, the Gamecube was at the end of its lifecycle.

Gotta love a solid blue ocean, amirite?
