I just noticed this. What was with Nintendo's obsession with sea exploration and faraway island settings during the Gamecube era?

Trying as hard as they can to get away from their nippon island and the disaster that the Game Cube was
Come to think of it, Animal Crossing GCN also introduced the island
Who knows
>>331269189
I love it. The ocean/island settings were comfy as fuck.

Nice one op, dolphin was the codename from the gamecube, damm it Nintendo will never be this good again

Why aren't there any comfy cafe games for Wii U?
Sunshine and WW have my favorite settings in any game. Sunshine moreso because they played with the idea well with each part of the island you went to.
pikmin is also tropical ish

My nigga. I fucking love just hanging around in Sunshine, seriously the most comfy setting ever made in a game.

TTYD isn't really a strong example for ocean-exploration, since PM64 also had a sail-to-a-tropical-island chapter

this.
I fuckin love water levels. Mario Sunshine was a dream come true
Probably to show off the GC capabilities of creating far bigger worlds compared to the N64 and without fog.
Oceans work better I assume considering you don't have to render trees and grass compared to forests and deserts are generally boring and have a less adventurous feeling.
Would you rather sail the seven seas or die from dehydration in the sahara?

But the plot is basically about sailing to and exploring a faraway land and Rogueport is the main hub if the game

Sorry, comfy cafe games are only for JP 3DS.
>>331272579
god damn i loved that game
>>331269189
That gen was the first where you could really start to do water so devs went crazy with it.
>>331269189
what are some good games where I can play on an island
preferably life sims
>>331269189
>this gen had WWHD, ORAS, and Tropical Freeze to top it off
