Nintendo has been one of the topmost bankable gaming developers. The makers started off the year with the announcement of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The title was the sequel to 2017’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The company also pleasantly surprised the fans with the release of Metroid Prime Remastered on Nintendo Switch. These releases marked the banger return of Nintendo to mainstream competition.
