It is the first time I’ve played this game & Ive enjoyed it greatly. I split my gaming between this & Red Dead 2 currently. Both are great for totally different reasons.
Considering the two biggest games have yet to be released this year, these are great sales. As for those who say software has sucked this year, how do you possibly find the time to play everything that’s already been released? My switch backlog is enormous!
The joy in Labo is building stuff and seeing how it works. It’s quite charming, but I wouldn’t expect an old guy like John Carpenter to get it. But given its price and it’s platinum sales, without Christmas even being here yet, it’s definitely a popular product. It’s just not for everybody.
It looks pretty nice to me, but I already have a ton of controllers. The 8 bit do Bluetooth thumb stick that lets you use any console joystick you want has basically solved all my switch controller problems. I do have a pro, but when I need another one I now use the Wii U joystick.
I’m pretty satisfied with it and just want more shows. I think most of the character changes are good and overall it delivers that Ducktails feeling pretty damn well. We just need to get a new game going!
Very cool art! I really enjoyed the Ducktails game reboot on the Wii U a few years back and would definitely love to see another game with the franchise.
I will chime in and say this sounds awful but PSVR is great! Without a doubt a game changer that wows you immediately. I have absolutely loved the PSVR.
The online can get better for sure, and more third party games would be better as well, but it’s hard to complain at $1.67/month for Nintendo online, specifically. The service is a bargain. It cost more to get a single coffee at Starbucks, a value meal at McDonalds, etc...
Better third party games is a different problem that has nothing to do with the pricing and value of Nintendo online. My answer to that, along with well over 50% of gamers in the US, is to own multiple platforms. I own them all and I’ve got no complaints as a results.
As someone who’s beaten Zelda dozens of times through the decades, including in its original release in the 80s, I’m not really sure I see the point. You’ll breeze through the game and basically miss a lot of what makes this game great (exploration & discovery, the sense of reward in powering up), even 3 decades after its original release.
I’ll never forget my 6th grade year using my friend’s hand drawn maps and word of mouth tips to complete this game. There was no internet, magazines were few and far between...it truly was up to you, your buddies and maybe the game counselors on the Nintendo hotline if you really got stuck.
This mode is like the total opposite of that. If you’ve never played it, I would highly recommend the original mode first, as the OG Zelda remains a great game.
They obviously didn’t spend enough on infrastructure to allow its biggest and most accessed games to utilize this feature. And that is pathetic considering what everyone else offers.
How weird. A game like Kamiko could’ve used these as well as some arcade classics like Double Dragon. Just go with 8 bit do controllers instead. I have the SNES, NES & Pro versions of these via 8 bit do and they work great. And they’re cheaper.
I own quite a few G&W and this one is pretty neat, with the potential to have two players, and it’s unique with a more square shaped design. If you love Nintendo and are interested in their pre Famicom history, G&W is a great place to start.
I’d love to see more mini reviews of these on NL!!
@SimplyCinnamon53 G&W items rarely sold above 1 million units, so they're highly collectible and will cost you money. You either have a passion for this hardware or you don’t, but it certainly isn’t cheap.
I have one and that’s not an issue at all. I charge it when I go to sleep and it goes days without needing a charge. I use maybe 15% of my battery life per day. It’s a great little device.
This argument that there’s nothing else is to play is a false argument.. Most of us own multiple consoles. Smartphones. Tablets. I own everything including PSVR. I still bought this game, waiting for the hard copy, as it looks like a great game. I could play a billion other games or systems, but I chose the Switch and many of its games, even indies, because THEY ARE GOOD GAMES. Perhaps indies don’t appeal to you , and that’s fine, but to suggest we’re all a bunch of idiots who just have nothing else to play, and just brainlessly fork over cash for mediocrity, is the argument you put forth when you have no argument left.
The Switch and indies are a match made in heaven. And that’s why we buy them, as we enjoy our time with them.
Considering Nintendo was highly embarrassed about the WiiU’s lack of popularity in Japan and publically stated it would focus on Japan first as a result with the Switch, it is clearly mission accomplished. The Switch has done extremely well globally but the Japanese performance is staggering. They’re wiping the floor with the competition.
I really like the Polygon reviews in the past, but without a score, it’s hard to say how good or bad a game is. I always read the text, but the score helps nail down exactly how good or bad the reviewer felt the game was. This score removal provides less information to the reader. I will still read Polygon’s reviews regardless, but a score would be better.
I play Duck Hunt on the Wii U. I don’t have an old school TV laying around, so it’s the only imaginable way I know to play that game. And all the other light gun games from the NES released on the Wii U.
This is a nice collector’s édition for those into the N64 and this game. I think it’s a neat touch to add a fake box & cartridge, even if this is not an N64 game, as that’s exactly what they were trying to reproduce. So why not go all the way and do the packaging too?

@BlueOcean
Big time. If we get a Dreamcast Collection, they should reproduce this as a limited run with Dreamcast packaging for the cartridge packaging.
Re: Random: This Dreamcast Nintendo Switch Paintjob Sure Is Dreamy
That is very cool looking. I like what they did with the joycon joystick attachrment, really loooks like a Dreamcast joystick.

Re: Surprise! A Special Version Of The Legend Of Zelda Has Appeared In The Switch's NES Library
What they need to do is release the BoTW Zelda demo done in the NES style. Now THAT would get a lot of attention.
