I also consider the CDi games as canon, taking place after Links awakening. The covers even future Link and Zelda from a link to the past. Still enjoy playing that Quadrilogy from time to time.
Can't wait to play this myself on launch. Got the game for €80 and donkey Kong for 70. You can get the games cheaper but you need to really search for it. I think 70 is going to be the standard, as long as the quality is good I'm fine with that.
This really depends on when you grew up imo. For me nothing beats the SNES and N64 lineups. Going from the nes to SNES was amazing, seeing Mario world and what was possible with f-zero and Pilotwings was amazing back then. And we'll... The N64, Mario 64. You can't explain that wow effect to a newer generation.
I do am more excited forthe switch 2. Haven't been this excited for a release of a new Nintendo system since the GameCube. It really seems Nintendo is going al out with great first party games.
These two games look great and one of the reason I buy the Switch 2 at launch. Hopefully they show new games soon. Can't wait to see the next Mario and Zelda ( hopefully a OOT remake in style of the Wii U tech demo).
I'm also camping for the Switch 2.... In my living room. Waiting for the delivery service to bring my package on June 5th. Unfortunately he's really slow.
I dislike DLC, mainly because most of the time it's just so developers can released unfinished games. However Nintendo releases finished game packed with content. If they do make DLC it's great content at a reasonable price. Mario Kart 8 got content after a lot of years, I do expect they do the same for World in the end.
To bad Nintendo just keeps stuck in the past when it comes to these things. They don't have to reinvent the wheel here, just simply do what the competition does and paint it in a Nintendo coat.
@lumothesinner not that I don't agree with you but the Last of us 2 had an extra game mode and more extras, ghost of Tsushima also had extra conntent, Spider-Man remastered had all previous dlc included and was free if you bought it with miles morales. It's easy to trash Sony on a Nintendo site but both companies are asking an up price for extra content here. And in the end it's up to everyone to decide if it's worth it or not.
I'm more interested in if the switch 2 physical versions of Zelda have the DLC included.
For Nintendo standards this is free. Don't forget this is a company that sold us the same virtual console games twice for full price or extra fee to upgrade to another console.
And all the extra accessoires for every console or the expansion pack for the N64 to be able to play DK and Zelda.
If you have online then at least the Zelda expansions will be free.
So basically first party Nintendo games will be fully on cards, third party will most likely scr*w you. Why not just release it digital only if you're not putting the game on the card. Talking about waste of materials
Yes it is. And we can al argue that yes N64 titles were just as expensive, but those were different times. Gaming was less of a thing, and we all know how wel the N64 sold in comparison to the competition. This is greed because the switch was a succes. No excuse to sell remasters at that price, and why is donkey Kong cheaper...
This really reeks like the old Nintendo from the SNES/N64 days. The were really on a high horse those days and asked extreme prices then, they seem to go that way again. I hope they get a big backlash and change those prices. 70 € is the max
Will be great if true, however... Alot of GameCube games still look great today. It will be easy for Nintendo to remaster them and sell them at a cheaper price. Will they really add those games to switch online and miss on that.
Yeah... I can take these first impressions serious anymore. They were going to a PR event to promote the movie afterwards. They are always positive. It's a "fun" movie is used to much. It's what you use if you don't really know what to say.
They think they're going to make the next lord of the rings. I dislike the idea of trilogies. It just means a crappy open ending for the first two. End if it fails you have a movie with no ending like the golden compass, back when they first tried to film that. Hopefully they film it back to back.
If the launch games are good and pre-ordering one won't be a disaster like the PS5, I will get it. I'm not going the PS5 thing where to needed to be on a constant alert to get one, I had zero enjoyment in buying it at launch
Not gonna happen. It will make more sense to announce some new Switch 1 games next week and show enhancements with the switch 2 backwards compatibility.
@larryisaman that will most likely be the case, best of both worlds. And like you said this is a expensive game because of it's development cycle, so it needs to sell big. So having it on both will be best case.
Wouldn't want to see Metroid end up like f-zero and star fox.
I'm turning in a grumpy man stuck in the past. I would love to see a Ocarina of time remake, Golden Sun, Star fox, a great Mega man 3d game from Capcom. That's the dream list.
Now the realistic list: Mario kart, first glimpse of 3D Mario, some third party ports, breath of the wild 4k with all dlc included ( because Nintendo does make questionable choices sometimes.)
All I hope for is one giant game with all the regions and all current Pokemon, so you can really catch them all and compete in all the leagues in one game. No new region with new Pokemon.
@Anti-Matter considering your preference for kid friendly games I don't think the Sonic franchise as a whole is something for you. Sonic has always aimed at older kids and teeangers, and been more edgy then it's counterpart Mario in the 90's. Especially since the adventure games the franchise got a darker tone.
The smurfs kart game might be more for you or the paw patrol kart game. My kids enjoyed those for a while.
It will all depend on the launch lineup. imagine if those Nintendo dream launch game rumours would be true (Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Zelda and Metroid) then they can easily get away with 500. The system will immediately give a lot of value to own.
The more likely scenario is that they reduce the price of standard and oled by 50 in March/april and give the switch 2 a price of 350-400.
Well they were asking alot if money. Even if the filmmaker himself isn't earning a lot with it someone is. So therefore these kind of projects will be shut down
They could always try to bend the project and still make what they wanted but without the Zelda characters and world used in it.

Re: Don't Worry, Nintendo's Thinking About Affordability With Switch 2 Pricing
It will all depend on the launch lineup. imagine if those Nintendo dream launch game rumours would be true (Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Zelda and Metroid) then they can easily get away with 500. The system will immediately give a lot of value to own.
The more likely scenario is that they reduce the price of standard and oled by 50 in March/april and give the switch 2 a price of 350-400.
