I hate collecthons. There's not a more lazy and boring genre. Mindlessly collecting copy and pasted things in an open sandbox. It takes barely any effort or creativity.
Collecting should always be filler. Not the main focus.
As I predicted earlier this year, Nintendo has now fully embraced this tedious form of game design. All Mario games will now be collecthons. All Donkey Kong games will now be collecthons. Linear well designed 3d platformers like Super Mario Galaxy or Donkey Kong Jungle Beat? Nope. All the new devs at Nintendo know how to do is copy and paste collectibles in an open sandbox.
Remember that Super Mario 64 was not a pure collectathon and focused more on missions than collecting things. Remember that Super Mario Sunshine angered the collectathon faggots by having completely mission focused gameplay.
Nintendo is completely and utterly creatively dead. It's either collectathons or multi solution puzzles.
