As the series continues to evolve (excuse the pun), its audience continues to age, something the added sophistication of the storyline reflects. For the next iteration of Pokémon to be a greater success, Game Freak is going to need to up the level of interaction, connectivity and maturity even further - but for now, this is as good as it gets."
A swan song is a game that sends off an aging console out to pasture. Not all are great, but these 10 made their console owners proud.
Beautiful article. BOTW was a perfect swan song for the Wii U. Despite its flaws, I loved that damn thing!
Thanks! Yeah, I mostly played it on Switch, but the Wii U version was competent. I'm just glad that Nintendo didn't do their Wii U fans dirty and make it a Switch only release.
I originally tried out Final Fantasy IX cuz I was interested in swan song titles after beating God of War 2
BOTW is my personal fav here. Seriously such a fantastic game. I played it on Switch but form what I've read, the Wii U version is totally fine!
