This does make me realize there is a real lack of American Football games on Switch though. In general, really, Madden is the only one that comes to mind, and from what I hear that's gone downhill hard.
I still really wish we got a game that looked like this. TP Link is my favorite Link design by far so seeing him look like this was jaw dropping back when I first saw it. I also know it doesn't age as well, but I also prefer OoT/MM and TP artstyles to WW, SS, and BoTW. Those games still look AMAZING mind you, but I also still think TP on GameCube looks great as well so maybe I'm just insane.
I seemingly replay Luigis Mansion, the Prime Trilogy, both Banjo Kazooie's, at least of the Professor Laytons, Portal and one of the Zelda games annually.
Higher rated than Breath of the Wild? It got a 97, so it's difficult, but can be done, 21 games have tied or beaten that score. Higher rated than Ocarina of Time though? It has a 99. so nearly impossible. You need a minimum of 7 reviews to be put on the all-time list on Metacritic, this game currently has 6. It's up to NintendoLife next week to decide its fate.
I've never been a fan of the Dragon Quest or Dragon Ball art styles. I like anime art styles, just not his. I do admit that the North American version is not the best, but I still vastly prefer it to Japan's.
Honestly not as bad as gating an entire difficulty behind an amiibo in Samus Returns. Still not great though. That said I am midly upset that just how many more people are throwing hands about this than the Samus Returns one, just goes to show how much more popular Zelda is than Metroid.
Controversy aside, even if this was standard in game, my first thought when I saw this was "wow, that's useless."
I see your arguments, and I can't say your wrong. However, to me, in terms of quantity and quality of game releases, I'd say the golden age was GameCube, PS2 to early Xbox 360 era. All 3 companies were pumping out high quality experiences with no sign of the issues plaguing current AAA games.
Both games are great and have earned great sales. To argue one is more deserving than the other (or that RE8 is a "threat") is a little weird to me, as they are going for two VERY different audiences. I mean, a person that isn't into B-movie "horror" but is into calm sightseeing tours would probably say Snap is the better game and therefore "deserves" more sales.
I'd be very surprised if this ever gets localized in the west. The game is very Japanese, would undoubtedly crash and burn in the west. Might not even make its localization money back. From what I understand, its a train simulation board game? Already extremely niche, but the artstyle is going to put off most western people who would be interested most likely. The artstyle simply doesn't appeal to western audiences like it does to the Japanese.
Huh, I've personally never had trouble finding pokemon cards. Granted I never buy them, it's not my scene, but there are always plenty on the shelves by the check-out line at my local Walmart.
And the news would have you believe that Nintendo has just been sitting on a port since 2018. Along with Star Fox Grand Prix from Retro, and Atlus has Persona 5 for Switch ready to go, and Miyamoto is cooking something that smells like Pikmin 4.
@NintendoJunkie Thats a good point. I guess they'd use Zero Suit Samus then? Her design would translate easier into Fortnite. That said, not the best choice for a rep since ZSS is barely in most Metroid games.
I don't care about Samus being in Fortnite or not, I care about Epic using fanart that has her gun on the wrong hand in their official documentation. Isn't a good sign.
I'm not going to name any names, but we are in the presence of an Olympic athlete in this comment section. The gymnastics they are able to do and the hurdles they can jump over are gold medal-worthy.
I picked the perfect time to get into Ace Attorney, started with the Trilogy on Switch last summer and have now played all the games sans Miles Edgeworth which they refuse to re-release or port to the west and I am not salty about that not at all why would you think that.
@COVIDberry Sorry I should have specified, the list of 4 games wasn't for Nintendo and their subsidiaries, just Nintendo EPD. So its Nintendo EPD working on 3 games if we use your weighing system. Don't you all get me wrong though, I too am unsatisfied with not only how Nintendo neglects its catalog of IPs, but also Sega, Microsoft, Sony, Konami etc., etc. That said, I find myself thankful for this lull in big Nintendo games as its allowed me to try titles I may otherwise never have.
@Mr-Fuggles777 Currently it's listed that their upcoming projects are Miitopia, BoTW 2, Splatoon 3, and Skyward Sword HD. I imagine they have more games unannounced in development in the background, but more and more series are being developed by their subsidiaries these days since the merger of their internal development studios. But really, this has very little, if anything, to do with their legal team, Nintendo is constantly in court every generation, this is nothing new. And this isn't a defense by the way, not in the way you were implying it anyway. These are the facts I am presenting. My intent in this conversation is simply to inform, whether that be through general information or noting that someone's complaints are misdirected.
@Mr-Fuggles777 Ah, going to the extreme already I see. You asked a question, I gave the answer. You asked another question, I again gave the answer. You then proceeded to claim that Nintendo striking down a hacker was impacting their game development, I provided a counterpoint as to why this probably isn't the case. At this point, you may notice no defending was done, merely pointing out a logical fallacy in your argument.
@Mr-Fuggles777 I only counted Monolith, Next-Level, NDcube, Sora ltd, Intelligent Systems as well as Game Freak pokemon games that were exclusive to the Switch (technically Retro is a subsidiary, but I already knocked off Tropical Freeze, their only game). How many original games has Nintendo EPD developed (ie, not including ports or enhanced rereleases)? Including one's where they co-developed with another studio (of which there were two games), then that would be 9 since April 18, 2018. 10 if you include Jump-Rope Challenge.
@Mr-Fuggles777 By my count Nintendo and its subsidiaries have developed 21 games since April 2018. That does not include ports of Wii U games (Tropical Freeze), enhanced ports (Super Mario 3D World), exclusive games published by Nintendo but not developed (Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3) or eshop exclusive games (Jump Rope Challenge). So that's about 7 original physical games a year.
I understand that there are some people that are into... interesting... things. That being said though, I have unfortunately seen weirder. Like whenever Isabelle is trending on Twitter.
Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda game, but I've never played the flipped Wii version. I had the GC version and just used that until later when I got the HD version on Wii U. Honestly it would probably affect me as much as mirror versions of tracks in Mario Kart, as in, it wouldn't.

Re: Yes, Link's Improved "Fast Travel" In Skyward Sword HD Really Does Seem To Be Locked Behind An amiibo
@sixrings @nessisonett Those are fair points. It is harder to compare a late stage 3DS game to a mid-life Switch game when it comes to visibility.
Re: Yes, Link's Improved "Fast Travel" In Skyward Sword HD Really Does Seem To Be Locked Behind An amiibo
