Open World Nintendo...

well not everything needs open world, seamless world maybe, but not open world like zelda animal crossing and pikmin would easily translate to

metroid (and luigis mansion to a lesser extent) would be better described as open maze gameplay, where you can approach a solution from multiple angles depending on skill and items, but youre still in an environment thats claustrophobic, does naturally funnel you till you get good enough to sequence break, and is very sci-fi/horror inspired

but i think nintendo needs to have a variety of experiences for players, its part of what sets their ips apart from each other even though some dabble in multiple worldsets like mario being able to have 2d level based games, 3d hub world games (a hybrid of open world and level based), rpgs, party games, etc

an fzero that focused on captain falcon tracking down bounties in a hub world based game would be pretty interesting, but i think the first game we get needs to be purely a racer with maybe a story mode attached to ease new players into the lore of fzero so they wouldnt be lost when captain falcon: bounty hunter did come out

also theres a question of exploration vs story, take twilight princess, skyward sword, or the first half of wind waker, or every FF/rpg game ever, the world may be open (eventually) or seamless, but every gate is story locked, you cant visit x until the story gives you y key (sometimes literally) no matter what your skill or knowledge level is, whereas a game like z1 i can get every square on the world map save 2 without ever needing to pick up anything (and the items i need to get to those 2 spaces arent story locked, i just need the knowledge and skill to get them early), and in botw ive been all over the map and all over the castle yet i only have 3 hearts and have done next to no story because i wanted to explore first and unlock as many shrines and seeds as i can (atm im looking for how to expand my inventory though, not enough pockets...)
