At least it's better than the 4 consecutive M&L (2 remakes) with only a white BG after PiT.. imagine how many parents bought the same game twice for their kids.
"Do you prefer a cheeseburger or do you prefer a cheeseburger with soda and fries?" Let's not pretend ToTK isn't BOTW 1.2, it's the same exact story, same map and same objective with new toys to experiment with. ToTK makes BoTW obsolete, no reason to ever boot it up again.
I have a very small issue, whenever a pokemon gets alerted it plays a jingle that sounds like the start of the battle against Red. Whether it's intentional or not, it annoyed me so I stopped playing. Pretty dumb yeah.
@BodkinDQ Same, to me Luigi's Mansion 2 was disappointing, didn't even bother finishing it. They just can't capture that same eerie atmosphere from the first one at all.
I like the current open world gameplay but TOTK was such a disappointing sequel reusing 90% of BOTW, adding an empty underground and even emptier sky islands, with virtually everything being identical story/mission wise and done. The new mechanics are great but Aonuma saying "we had more ideas to implement that's why we wanted to make a direct sequel" doesn't justify using the same map from 2017... MAKE SOMETHING NEW.
Mario is of Italian descent... as of 2023... Did he really forgot Yoshi's Island? The Super Mario Bros. Show was never aknowledged by Nintendo. It's so irritating.
I recall how Hayley hints at being aware of the suffering of being stuck in such a game: "I'll be here to take care of your pokemon... forever... anyway see you next time"
@larryisaman Mania as good as it was was carried heavily by nostalgia, and music. As far as I see it looks fun and pretty. Hopefully Jun won't ruin the music with his garbage 16bit compositions like in Sonic 4 and Tee Lopes helps him make really good music.
Wow holy molly everyone should buy two copies, each! your mom and dad and your siblings, for an average of 6 copies of ToTK in each household, TODAY! Best game ever!!!!!
Obviously some guy who played it weeks ago when the game was leaked and has been practising it to hell and back, only to claim he did it a couple of hours after release...
@heisnbrg Let me get this straight, the bare bones Color Splash is a 10/10... but TOK has a slightly lower score?? ... Such speciment actually exists.... fascinating!
Great, focus on quality instead of quantity. There are just so many forgettable characters like byleth and pyra and echoes should just be skins or give them their own moves.
I'll call lazy whatever I think is lazy. Pokemon Diamond & Pearl were held back by the DS hardware back in the day, but they turned out to be fantastic games nontheless, but going by the excuse of a "fAitHful 1:1 RecREaTion" just isn't it, it's taking shortcuts for a quick buck, the game doesn't even look pretty, it's your run of the mill mobile looking game. Devs should do better, and Pokemon shouldn't be regressing like that, just look at Xenoblade 2 and imagine if Monolith was in charge of a new Pokemon, instead it's still going to be held back by Gamefreak for years and years to come, take a look at Arceus and tell me that looks like a finished product.
@TheJGG Probably because SEGA wanted to replace him with Ben Schwartz, then they learned he'd cost them millions just to voice Sonic, but it was a little too late after firing Roger, so SEGA backed down on that and rehired him. I still don't know if the other voice actors are coming back as well.

I'm not interested in Warriors games... and we all know the tragic end of Sonia and Rauru and the price is too steep, so no I rather pass for now.

Re: Poll: Do You Prefer Zelda: Wind Waker HD's Bloom Lighting Or The "Flat" OG?
Man, even if it comes out for the Switch it's going to be a downgrade, the game pad is so useful for quick menu management.
Re: Pikmin 4's Director, Yuji Kando, Has Completed The Game's Story Mode "Around 20 Times"
What's with this devs patting themselves in the back? Like Aonuma saying he completed ToTK also 20 times. Why always 20?
Re: Miyamoto Considers Pikmin To Be Nintendo's "Most Global Characters"
Mario is of Italian descent... as of 2023... Did he really forgot Yoshi's Island? The Super Mario Bros. Show was never aknowledged by Nintendo. It's so irritating.

Nice for Nintendo to add a journalist mode, unless.....

Such speciment actually exists.... fascinating!
Re: Review: The Outbound Ghost - A Heartfelt But Ultimately Thin Paper Mario-Like
Wow I was prepared for a 7/10 at least... ah well... I'm not a fan of the name.... should've been called just Outbound. Sometimes less is more.
