Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Console Has The Best Start-Up Sound?

Beermonkey

Was going to choose GB but the NGC just nudges it out for me. Mainly because I hear it and then in my head it's followed by Double Dash's music. Then followed by screams of pain and evil laughter.
I know it's not a console start up but a big shout out to the Capcom start up sound they used to use. Amazing nostalgia.

Re: Soapbox: Parallel Play Is The New Couch Co-Op, And Minecraft Is Perfect For It

Beermonkey

For me couch co-op will always rule. Seeing my friends face as I throw a bowser shell backwards on DK mountains bridge on the final lap, sending him over the edge and into last place as my other friends and I laugh so hard it hurts (we would often do team play.) It's the little moments. One I think doesn't translate online. Same for borderlands and l4d. Enjoy online but couch co-op feels so much more fun. Plus having a few beers together always sets the atmosphere.

Re: Nintendo Doesn't Have Anything Else Planned For Zelda's 35th Right Now

Solid direct. People jumping up and down about games not being announced. Nintendo are in a strange place as if they had of shown a Zelda collection and a glut of other titles the fans would still moan it wasn't enough (same every E3 and direct.) Considering we are still in a pandemic they did good. Shouldn't have been called E3 this year. Just "The Nintendo and Microsoft show."

Re: Feature: Zelda: Twilight Princess' Flipped World On Wii Made Me Go A Little Cucco

@Kevember is it wrong I like them all for different reasons? It's my all time favourite series. BOTW is my favourite (mainly because of when it came out I had so much going on in my personal life it was an amazing escape.) I'm one of those people who would buy any Zelda game released/re-released/remastered and just get swept away again. Twilight Princess was my final game bought for my cube. Played it again on Wii a couple of years later and loved it. Am hoping it does get released for switch this year with windwaker.

Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Hits Switch This July Alongside Themed Joy-Con

I'd give this direct a 7 out of 10 for me. If I was into RPGs would be a solid 10. Nintendo are honestly playing a loosing game as no matter how much they churn out the fans always expect more. While Sony fans are happy with the odd exclusive and Xbox fans are happy with anything (own all except PS5 but will grab one at some point.) Nintendo do need to do some more full fat directs this year though. Covid has ballsed up so much.
