platformers are one of the worst genres

Their still dead lol. Only one that matters is Mario.

Probably has something to do with all platformers being trash that even the dumbest tendo consumers are tired of.

It's hard to make a good one, and there's not much financial payoff when you do. That's why 9/10 3D platformers from back in the day were cheap shit.

No that's jrpgs.

Mario odyssey and galaxy are some of the highest rated games of all time.

They never did?

literally 2 decent games there

Nobody but a few developers could even develop good challenging 3d playforming. They all turned into just 3d shooters with some jumping like R&C
