Bright’s candid thoughts on the latest Zelda title came during a recent interview with Game Rant, where the GameStop senior director discussed the success of the Nintendo Switch and the future of Nintendo’s success. During the conversation, Bright had this to say about Breath of the Wild:
Bright went on to speak glowingly of Breath of the Wild, and even recommended that those who have the ability should pick up a copy. Bright continued:
Obviously, Bright isn’t the only one who feels this strongly about Breath of the Wild. The director of Overwatch recently praised the Zelda title, calling it a “masterpiece,” and critics seem to agree as Breath of the Wild set a record for perfect scores on Metacritic.
It’s not surprising then to learn that nearly every gamer who picked up a Nintendo Switch also purchased Breath of the Wild. There’s little doubt at this point that the strength of the latest Zelda is boosting sales of the new Nintendo console.
It will be interesting to see how sales of the Nintendo Switch continue as more games are released for the console. Fortunately for both Nintendo and GameStop, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is on the horizon and looks to highlight the co-op capabilities of the Switch. Bright shared his thoughts about Mario Kart on the Nintendo Switch:
If Nintendo can continue producing high quality games for the Switch like Breath of the Wild, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Nintendo Switch eventually outperform the Wii.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is available now for Nintendo Switch and Wii U.
