@tameshiyaku Guess I’m a slightly insane adult then. I listen to video game music more than any other genre: Nintendo, Sega, Mega Man, Castlevania, Ys, Final Fantasy, Lufia, Street Fighter, Shenmue, Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive…
Music is music, yo. What makes you think video game soundtracks aren’t legit?
@OctoCallie20 Why is that laughable. Nintendo has every right to charge for their music, but here it as at least added to the Nintendo Online Service with no extra fee on top
I’m literally getting goosebumps to preparing to replay this amazing game in all its glory and now with all those new bells and whistles. The original Felghana (a remake of Ys III), actually came out on PC in 2005-2006 or thereabouts. I remember having to painstakingly translate every line on screen using a Kanji dictionary. But it was worth it for all the insane action (very awesome boss fights that cream the YS 3 originals) and one of the best soundtracks to ever grace the medium. My only complaint here is that they aren’t including the legendary PCE version of the soundtrack, too.
Can’t wait
@MeloMan Yeah it’s the same engine as YSVI and Origin I believe.
@FrowardCoast440 Konami has released amazing Castlevania compilations so far. I bet they’re planning a 3D one now: 64, Legacy, Lament and Curse. And yeah throw Judgment on there too as unlockable bonus
Just want to thank you, NintendoLife staff, for creating this topic so many fans here could see it was actually a much wider spread problem. I was surprised to see so many here having those specific issues, because I didn’t. Glad Nintendo fixed it quickly
@Joeynator3000 Did you have another game running in the background? If it uses online functionality in any way your download will be paused to give the game priority.
@Lord What game have you been playing lately?
@Lilliena Sounds like the cooling system broke or maybe something got stuck in the fans?
@TopazLink You’re not the only one reporting a dishonest battery meter:
@Oneironaut0 Yeah sounds like the battery meter is way off
@ThatNyteDaez @Narrator1 Have you tried updating the Joycon firmware directly?
@Toastmaster Depends how well they’re testing each update
@HatesCheese Have you tried recovering the data from a PC? There are dedicated programs for this purpose. You might need to pay for the recovery though if successful.
@mlt Whoa wai— wha— Symphony “lacks polish”?! It’s one of the most polished videogames ever. It’s level design is way better than AoS, and its soundtrack demolishes AoS (and just about any other video game actually). Yes it gets easy but that’s only up until the inverted castle.
AoS is good but there are way too many flat, straight areas. AoS soul system is ace but Dawn did it all better
@Poco_Lypso @nessisonett No he isn’t; you can’t have it both ways. You also assume that adding more inclusion to a game is a less popular stance. You are being hypocritical
@Qwiff Yeah like I’m having fun trying to be pacifist as much as possible, because Zelda would want to use her wisdom; not her fists, and I especially don’t think she would harm animals. It’s interesting how I have to use my echoes just right to hide and sneak by.
@FiercestDiety Yeah truly excellent art and sound direction
@Novamii I’ve always hovered around buying it but something always stopped me. However it’s interesting I knew exactly what game that screaming boy was from (because I have seen the cover art so many times in eShop)
@Burning_Spear They need it to be buttons because the joycons can be split apart and given to two players, and they have to keep the experience between the players congruent.
It’s easy enough to get a third party Joycon with D-pad
@KayFiOS Dominion themed gameplay is a huge part of all three titles, so the name perfectly fits. Although the power is more implied for Jonathan and Charlotte.
@WhiteTrashGuy Yeah the OoE artist is super talented and Shanoa is fire on that cover. Still, I wish they’d just print all three covers for one edition, and let you change them whenever
@Poco_Lypso I think it’s something about Wukong devs not listening to Sweet Bee or whatever that inclusion consulting organization is called. And that’s their right. Not sure what their input would add to a fantasy game about a monkey man anyway

Re: Switch Online's "Mature" N64 App Expands With Two More Games
@Jeff2sayshi Yeah I thought there was like an unspoken rule about that; that’s why Castlevania is nowhere to be found on Nintendo Online… ?
@Pickettfury Did you like the Shadow Man remaster? I was thinking about it…
@Uncle_Franklin Hexen 64 and Killer Instinct Gold would be nice additions
