Mario should've stayed videogame popeye. He's vidya Mickey now, and he's just as heartless.

Kirby

Odyssey had some soul in it.

Pokemon

This

Zelda

Last of us

It has nu-soul, that's for sure. Post-zoomer toddlers are going to have fine-ass nostalgia over it.

Uncharted

since gen 4 is the downfall rollercoaster to hell

>Post-zoomer
Actually off yourself

Maybe during the "New" era, but Odyssey was pretty creative regardless of what you think of it. And the games have always been consistently decent at least.
You could call a spinoff like Mario Party soulless, but not the main series.

Add a "New" in front of that and you'd be correct.

Every New Super Mario game feels like such a fucking synthetic, manufactured product designed by a room of soulless corporate shills. They aren't necessarily bad gameplay-wise, but holy fuck, they are the definition of a soulless game, and Nintendo's copy pasted the same game about 10 times now.

smash bros

Mario 3 and Mario 64 were soulful

I dunno, I think the post-zoomers can't really see the nu-soul, unlike the quasi-yoomboomers who can see the smide of classic medium soul in the nu-soul and make an objective conclusion on how much soul there is

"soul" is a stupid Yea Forums meme buzzword. "soul" no longer has any meaning here.

Call of Duty

N64 has so much soul

holy shit come down to earth please

>nu-soul
Ok what the fuck does that even mean? Mario has done a lot of unique things that could qualify for soul in Odyssey, from the transformation mechanics to New Donk City to it's first full vocal song.

>post-zoomer
You faggots really need to be extinct already

Sonic

Super Mario is fine.
New Super Mario Bros. is legit sterile and manufactured.

Sonic Mania has soul.

Odyssey is the Sonic Adventure of Mario with just 20 years later of better technology/lack of limitations + made by a more competent dev team.

Zoomers won't stay dominant forever. There are still babies being born as I'm typing, you see.
Nu-soul lacks the progressive quality that true soul has. Most games that are considered to have soul are rather innovative in one way or another. Odyssey does have enough care put into it to be considered soulful, but it's merely a return to form dotted with half-hearted "innovation," which makes it merely half-soulful.

The last of us.

thanks for convincing me that soul is shit

Sometimes I wonder if what this community has done to some people would qualify as genuine mental disability.

That's not how it works retard.

I just always assumed "new" meant a reimagining of the classic formula with updated graphics. I can smell the Dorito stained, play-doh encrusted autism hands of the person who made this image.

Zelda. Artifical adventuring at its worst.

Doesn't make the image less wrong.

OP is a fagot

A more accurate description of most eastern plots is "teenagers killing god"

Nu-soul is manufactured "soul." Instead of organically-created soul it's elements that are characteristic of soul carefully inserted into the game to give off the illusion of having genuine soul.

Why are you hung up over a mascot franchise trying to maintain marketability?

Are you fucking retarded? Literally any dudebro shooter like pic related. Or sports series. Seriously, OP, do you have brain damage? Even for a shitpost this is bad.
