They were great when the original staff was doing it. Now all they do are speculation and hour long discussions.

@Giancarlothomaz
That's such a preposterous, ludicrous statement it almost feels shameful to me dignifying it with a response.

Zelda BotW ran 30fps locked for 99% of the experience, and only had slight issues in ONE specific area which was also subsequently patched.

It was not "300p", it was max resolution on handheld and nearly 1080p docked. Neither was it "10fps", it was 30fps. You don't define a game's framerate by the 0.001% lows.

What you are saying is so insanely hyper-exaggerated it actually astounds me someone could say it with a straight face without admitting they're trolling.

You're either the most gullible person in the world, or you're intentionally using exaggeration and misrepresentation because it's the only way you think your argument (the one you adopted from a random video you stumbled upon 15 minutes before posting) might have merit.

@Giancarlothomaz Three Houses got 89 compared to Engage's current 82. Engage will probably get a higher score over the next couple of days as more reviews come in, though.

@NintendoByNature heres one where this YouTuber says that switch 3 is coming out and skipping switch 2 altogether 😉

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

@StarPoint I wouldn't get your hopes up. The average usually only ends up dropping as more reviews pour in.

Not that such a thing really matters, does it? Many of my favorite games score in the low-to-mid 80s.

@Ralizah Yeah, scores definitely don't matter to me.

I mean considering Fate got great reviews, should FE fans take the score that seriously? :V

@kkslider5552000 If/Fates wasn't a bad game, the story was messy and the pricing was off putting (I have the SE so I was spared that) but it was a LOT of FE and the gameplay was enjoyable. Some folks may prefer one route to another or whatnot but the gameplay held up even with them trying 3 different approaches. As with any popular franchise people want different things and it is really hard to field a consensus. Which is why personally I mostly use reviews to gauge technical issues (bugs and framereate not graphics).

I get the feeling Nintendo’s going to announce a new 3D Mario soon (either that or a MK8 Deluxe style “surprise, here’s Odyssey DLC”). Randomly out of nowhere there’s an email from Nintendo about Mario Odyssey. At least the BotW one from December makes sense as TotK launches in May but the Odyssey one doesn’t.

But then again, Mario would most likely be the big holiday title of the year if a new 3D Mario of which I couldn’t see an announcement this early in the year unless it was part of a Switch 2 announcement event using the BotW + Odyssey trick with TotK + new 3D Mario.

I would bet actual money Mario Odyssey 2 (or some comparably massive Mario platformer) or that long rumored Donkey Kong game is coming out this year. I'd have no idea what's even going on at Nintendo anymore if the 3d Mario team has nothing to show (barring an extra game made to sell the 3D World port) after all this time.

@Grumblevolcano a 2D/3D Mario game is possible, but, i believe Nintendo is saving the next 2D/3D Mario for the launch of Switch sucessor, along with the next Mario Kart game(Mario Kart 9/10?) and maybe Metroid Prime 4 as the BOTW situation you mentioned, and the deluxe game, could be a Deluxe version of Super Smash Bros Ultimate, with all DLC included(before Nintendo release the next Super Smash Bros game on Switch sucessor or not)

Or, here's a wild theory (and I don't mean that sarcastically), maybe Nintendo has decided to double the Switch lifespan from the 5 years of Wii U to 10 years, and has another 4 years of titles planned until Switch 2. And because that stretches it out far enough, they have time to develop a whole new Zelda for Switch 2 besides TotK. Since TotK was likely finished in 2022 and sat on like most other titles, that would be a 5 yr cycle and another 5 after to the next.

Maybe we're gonna still be having these conversations in 2026, with Giancarlos still posting videos about Switch 2 being imminent any day now 😀

@JaxonH I think that would be likely if we got through 2023 without Switch 2 announced but at the same time had a new 3D Mario released and some form of Mario Kart content confirmed for rather early in 2024 (whether Booster Course Pass 2 or MK9).
