@Dragonslacker1 Any true console sequel to Wind Waker would be a major dream come true. Heck, a rerelease of the original with a few extra dungeons/islands would be a major dream come true! 😃

@Trajan I thought it was just a cheeky little joke.

Edit: (“It” being the article subtitle.)

There should be another list for beautiful 2D games... but there probably too many, and most won’t be exclusive either.

Pocky & Rocky: Reshrined comes to mind. Cotton Reboot... what’s that Cave-like Switch exclusive shmup? Crimson something. That looks good too.

I didn’t edit this comment lol

Great list (I would have raged if Link’s Awakening was snubbed lol) but if you count Wii U ports, those are still some of the best looking games; 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, Captain Toad, DK:TF... and sure, MK8D too, why not.

I’d count Pikmin 3 if it ran at 1080p... come on, I’m still not happy about that lol. (Guess in handheld its fine... at least I think it’s 720p in handheld.)

Just here to say that subtitle hit me in all the right ways lol. Props

@Joker1234 Are they though? You may be right, just haven’t seen it yet.

Is there a jump?

@Thoughts You’re right, looks awful on 4k, and even not so great on my 1080p TV, which I chose btw, over a 4k TV because of my new at the time Switch. Games do look better on 1080p TVs. (Side point I know. Can’t wait for Nintendo to go 4k, but probably won’t see that until 2030~ lol)

I’ll be checking out the video when I get home after work.

Yes please. In a similar style to the Link’s Awakening remake, with maybe a bit more polish. (If that even makes sense. Haven’t laid eyes on the original game, just assuming it’s top down.)

@Bogbupog Maybe consider a sale purchase before giving up on it... but yeah, sounds a bit disappointing huh?

@smithyo Let us know if you ever do give it a real shot.

Pretty sure I’ll be picking this up at some point.

You guys should really check out Mystik Belle... such gorgeous, cute, and atmospheric art. (And looks super fun, but haven’t started it yet.)

One of very few games in my life that I went ahead and preordered. 😋

Too bad it’s not Melee... and that he’s in Mass. 😅 But that’s pretty cool

Really want to give this one a go. Probably will have to wait until January at least to start buying games again. (Except I’m buying Mystic Belle Enchanted Edition the 9th!!) 😃

I wonder exactly how Super Mario Odyssey is doing. That game needs to keep up in sales or I’ll cry. 😄 (At least it passed the 20 million mark, but I really think it deserves 30+ million in lifetime sales.

I just want to play as the main girls. Don’t waste (too much of) my time. Lol

@Mando44646 Some people out there are just getting off on buying more copies lol

@RupeeClock As long as I get some Wario Land action, I’m good lol. (Nah, I want Donkey Kong 94 and several others... pretty good chances for these I suppose.)

@rushiosan Same. Can’t wait! (Just so busy, hard to find quality gaming time.)

@Kienda I knew it was a troll, so I’m glad I scrolled down to see that you admitted as much. Cheers

@EVIL-C Yeah I need someone to produce an in-depth video or article comparing all the differences between every version of this game. (Each platform’s port from each region, vs the original Wii U game.)

@Vexx234 What makes it suck and what makes the others good? Never played Fatal Frame...

K I was already getting this, but now maybe I need two copies! lol 😝

EDIT: OK if this is censored, I probably won’t bother. Maybe I’ll get a different version or something. (Maybe the Japanese release will have more costumes? Or the PC version, as someone said.)

Wow, a full 10 out of 10. Not purely because of this of course, but hope I can play this someday.

Yep, it’s a cool item. Don’t care about the price.

@AmplifyMJ Agreed, and I hope the same for them. 👍

@AmplifyMJ “Everyone deserves to see themselves.” How about everyone deserves to make the art they want to make? What I’m getting at is it’s weird for creators to force characters of a certain orientation just to target demographics, however, if those characters are springing from their desire to tell a story with that type of character, than great, go for it.

@Moistnado Yeah... been interested in this series since the Wii original, and I’m rooting for it, but I tend to agree... but, as you know, other games are way more offensive in this regard, and I’m hoping to get around to playing them eventually. (I’d like to support NMH3, but it will probably have to wait for next year.)

@ItsjustAnotherGamer Exactly. It would be foolish to release MK9 like one year before the Switch 2. MK9 will be a next gen game.

@Anti-Matter OK

Can’t say I’m very interested, but I may eventually pick this up... someday...

@Rayquaza2510 I did too, for now, but I’m almost 100% sure to get it at some point.

@Williamfuchs420 Cool thanks, I’ll look into these games. 🤙

@Anti-Matter Start with Wind Waker if you ever decide to try it. (Unless you like the top down style better, than maybe Link to the Past or Link’s Awakening. I think I’d messed around with OoT a bit, but WW was when I really discovered why people love the series. (Went back and finished OoT and loved that one too, but anyway, no worries, you don’t need to like Zelda.)

@Anti-Matter I voted that I didn’t like a single game mainly because while some looked mildly amusing, or even good (Tetris), I wasn’t exactly reaching for my wallet. Which is good. Already have my picks for the year pretty much locked in (Fatal Frame, Mystik Belle: Enchanted Edition, Cotton Guardian Force Saturn Tribute... maybe something else...) 🤔 Of course that list may change if Nintendo drops Wind Waker or some other surprise on us soon.

@BanjoPickles A bit of a downer comment lol, but I completely agree. Maybe I just wasn’t the hugest GTA3 fan, but what excitement I got out of it was mostly how open and immersive, and... just real it felt at the time. I wouldn’t get that feeling today from 3... but I might with the current GTA since I haven’t really played that type of game since I messed around with 3 at my buddy’s place one hundred years ago.

When I read the article title, I was half hoping GTA2 would be in there somehow... and for cheeeeap.

Anyway, maybe I’d have a bunch of fun, who knows. I’d like to see noticeable enhancements though before I’d ever consider bothering...

Meh, it’s kinda true, but there are much worse things to worry about. 🤷‍♂️

@Williamfuchs420 I’m interested in that, but I want to take a closer look at both the game and the history of that “franchise.” (Loosely connected series of games or spiritual successors... idk.)

@Clyde_Radcliffe I loved the demo! And this is coming from someone who was never able to get much joy from classic Sonic games. (Mania may change that, plus haven’t tried them all.)

Not sure I love the graphics of FP 2, but definitely need to buy FP eventually.

@UsurperKing Somewhat tempting... Nah, I’ll just force my big Switch to fill both roles. 😁

Plus I really only undock when I go to the laundromat... and the rare out of state trip. (And sometimes in bed.)

Poll question wasn’t exactly one size fits all, I don’t “expect to pay for a Switch Lite” at all, but I predict it will remain $200 for this year, so that’s what I voted. I think a price drop would be good, but honestly 200 is fairly reasonable. I think the main Switch with it’s cheapo plastic dock and flimsy Joy-Cons should take a price cut before the Lite. I say $250 for the “old” model and the OLED should have become the new standard model at $300. Of course none of that will happen, and I’m terrible concerned about it as I’m still happy with my current Switch (standard), even with its faults and hefty price point. (I’m someone who considers a Pro Controller essential, not to mention good SNES style controllers for games requiring D-pads.)

@DTfeartheBEARD That’s sort of my dilemma... although I still need to play Luigi’s Mansion 3 and a few other spookalicious games that I can’t remember right now... 🤔

That would be cool if they would get preorders here at least by the 31st, but you’re right, probably not happening.

@Mr-Fuggles777 That’s solid logic, and I don’t fault you for that decision, but as Switch is my only current console, I’m hoping it’s at least close to the others heh.

So will the Switch version be the worst looking by far, as usual, or will they all essentially be at the same graphical quality and performance, given the age of the game... 🤔

EDIT: And to answer my early comment, there IS English in the physical versions (yay!), but only English voice, no English subtitles if you prefer the Japanese voice acting option (boo!).

@CharlieGirl Good point. I hope the Japanese/Asian physical release includes English... possible, but they might try to patch it out like they did with Cotton Reboot.

Sadly this will sell worse than Pikmin or any other deserving franchise... oh well, at least I’ll finally get my chance to play this gem. (Would have been better on Wii U, but... well, supporting it now is all I can do.)

@Sidon_ZoraPrince I had the exact same response!

@KateGray Hmm... but is it really a sequel? There’s a comparison video on YouTube and a lot of the stage layouts and enemy sequences seem directly lifted from the original... plus, the Reshrined title lends to this one being more of an extensive remaster, a reimagining, or a remake... or heck, a reboot. But... IDK maybe it’s more sequel-y then it seems and we just need to see more. 🤷‍♂️
