E3 used to always be an event to look forward to. What a great week to be a fan. The summer direct last year was just spoilers for Xenoblade 3. It's not the same.
I enjoyed Yooka Laylee even though only the first two levels were great. I enjoyed a Hat in Time even though only the first level was great. And I enjoyed Poi. So I think I'm the target audience for this.
It blows my mind how much effort they put into this compared to the Mario emulation and the Zelda remasters. It's like a remake.
The staff credits are so long! In addition to all the new names at Retro Studios, I also noticed Airship Images Limited, Atomhawk Design Ltd, CGBot LLC, Gamesim Inc, Iron Galaxy Studios LLC, Liquid Development, Original Force Ltd, Shanghai Minloader Digital Technolocy Co Ltd, Zombot Studio, and Nintendo.
Compare that to the 4 guys at Retro who did Metroid Prime Trilogy recompile on Wii!
@DiggleDog New models, new textures, lighting and shadow improvements, better audio, 60 FPS at all times, excellent frame pacing, gyro, HD rumble. It's night and day. It's practically a remake!
I always wait for sports games to go dirt cheap a few months after release, but MLB 22 on Switch just disappeared from store shelves before that happened. Anyone know what happened there?
I don't love the cover art here, but it's way cheaper then what the LRG one is going for these days. And if there were any patches in the last few years then the fangamer one will be the most up to date.

This is the Zelda game with the longest development time right? That should mean something.

LOL!
Re: How To Save Money On Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: The Hidden Treasure Of Area Zero DLC
I'm hoping they release complete cartridges like they did with Sword/Shield. That's the only way they can get me to buy this.

Re: Random: Mario's Shoes Are Stepping Into Nintendo Store NY (Yes, Really)
Are they steel toes?
Re: Poll: What’s Your Favourite New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC Track In Wave 4?
I have to go with Waluigi Stadium because it looks and feels like a MK8 track instead of a mobile port like most of the other ones.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Has Been Updated To Version 2.3.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Lands Free Switch Demo, Out Today
For anyone saying it's too easy - try playing without the items or skill tree. I had a blast playing it that way.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4 Launches Next Week
I'm happy we're finally getting something from Double Dash, although I'd like a track from the special cup.

Re: Nintendo Is Officially Skipping E3 2023
E3 used to always be an event to look forward to. What a great week to be a fan.
The summer direct last year was just spoilers for Xenoblade 3. It's not the same.
Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Fire Emblem Fates
I still think Conquest is one of the best games in the series gameplay-wise.
Re: Review: Clive 'N' Wrench - A Banjo-Kazooie-Style Throwback That Hits All The Wrong Notes
I enjoyed Yooka Laylee even though only the first two levels were great. I enjoyed a Hat in Time even though only the first level was great. And I enjoyed Poi. So I think I'm the target audience for this.
Re: Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Announced For Switch
Still waiting for a physical release of these games
Edit: I just found out that this one is getting a physical release. Not sure why the first three didn't I'll take what I can get.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope 'Tower Of Doooom' DLC Will Spook Next Week
@CapitalQ I agree. This game definitely shipped complete.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope 'Tower Of Doooom' DLC Will Spook Next Week
This was an amazing game but the comments above mine show why it didn't sell very well. Ubisoft did this to themselves.

All My Homies Hate Fi.
Re: Retro Studios Wasn't The Only Dev Working On Metroid Prime Remastered
I also noticed this today. The credits are really really long. It's a really high effort remaster.
Compare that to the 4 guys at Retro who did the Metroid Prime Trilogy recompile for wii!
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Apparently Has The Biggest File Size Of Any First-Party Switch Release
That kind of makes sense. It's above 16 GB. So it needs the 32 GB cartridge.
Re: Video: Metroid Prime Remastered - Switch Vs. GameCube Comparison

@RareFan only the first one was like that.

Re: Video: MVG Checks Out "Awesome" Update For GameCube Emulator On Xbox
Doesn't a gamecube emulator for switch exist? There's one in Super Mario 3D All Stars right? Why don't we use that one?
Re: MLB The Show 23 Running Switch Technical Test Later This Month (North America)
I always wait for sports games to go dirt cheap a few months after release, but MLB 22 on Switch just disappeared from store shelves before that happened. Anyone know what happened there?
Re: Talking Point: Who Did You Marry In Fire Emblem: Awakening?
RIP anyone who chose Cordellia
Re: Japanese Charts: All Switch Models Outsold By PS5, Story Of Seasons Remake Is On Top

Re: "We Absolutely Apologize" For Pokémon Performance Problems, Says Nintendo Of Canada Manager
I can confirm that we Canadians like to apologize quickly and often for things that aren't our fault.
Re: Talking Point: 15 Years On, Should Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary Return?
Brawl has like 35 characters and Ultimate has like 80+ so I understand if the project is just too ambitious. But we can still dream.

Re: Splatoon 3's Next Splatfest Is On The Way, Which Team Will You Pick?
I'm a weirdo so I pick white chocolate every time. I recognize that this choice won't get very many sea snails though.
Re: Celeste Gets Beautiful New Collector's Edition For Fifth Anniversary
I don't love the cover art here, but it's way cheaper then what the LRG one is going for these days. And if there were any patches in the last few years then the fangamer one will be the most up to date.
