@mr12calvin Yeah, I definitely think there'll be some surprises at this one. Maybe it's a bit too early for new Switch. Nintendo seem to be upping production, they might have some secret AAA game no one knows about.
But knowing them we actually could see Switch 2, even despite this loool.
I'm hoping for a new ip. Not much this generation has got me excited tbh.
Also, I think they'll show Metroid Prime 4. I'm 75% certain this is when theyll show it.
I'm playing through this on an emulator for the since time since I was about 15 and for me it stands the test of time really well. The enemy reactions are so funny and ahead of their time. So what if it's not realistic like modern fps, there's enough reality in people's lives. The ai is so dumb it's hilarious. ANNNNDDD the stealth sections options work better than any game ive played....EVER.
I've actually hyped for this movie. It's not a documentary. It's a dramatisation of the fight over the games rights after it was first developed. Even the true story of it is exciting and weird so this should be good.
@KimBread Maybe its development is having problems.
It looks so good, like the tools and collectables seem so cool. And the music in the trailer was awesome. Reminds me of an ocarina of time spin off based on one of the kokiri.
Wish Nintendo would just release a legacy console with a great eshop to download old games. I'd pick that up day one. Right now I use my unhacked wii from 2007 that has like 10 gems on it that I legit bought and downloaded. Nothing on Switch currently is enough for me to rebuy one apart from the next Zelda. I'll defo pick up a Switch for Zelda but at the moment I seriously am happy with the wii and delving into the back catalogue of wii and gamecube games.
I had a Sega MegaDrive (well my brother did) when I was very small. Then I got an N64 which properly was my start into gaming. Because of this I'd love a Sega Saturn mini to see some of the games I missed out on when I switched to Nintendo. I still have a fondness for Sega and remember playing Sonic 3, Golden Axe, and Vectorman.
@ParadoxFawkes I'd rather they just let me download the legacy games that I want so that I have them permanently rather than having to pay a subscription to play them. Or better yet just release special physical editions of legacy content on newer consoles. At least then there's a chance what you've bought will retain its value.
I just don't understand why they can't have been working a second mainline game parallel to botw2. Whether that be a top down Zelda, a sequel to Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, or some other new idea/concept. The handheld and console dev teams have merged and we haven't had a greater output.
Ocarina of Time (N64) Christmas 1998. The graphics, and vastness of the world were amazing as a 7 year old. I remember playing it on a CRT TV with my older brother and Dad. Took me months to beat it but kept going back to it. I doubt anything will ever beat the greatness of Ocarina of Time in terms of the huge gap in overall quality and impact between it and other games released at the time. Although, from my memory, the original pokemon games come close.
This sounds really weird. I haven't heard about this anywhere else. What will happen to the Gollum game if this company that no one has ever heard of have bought the rights to the lotr books?
I'm still excited for the Gollum game despite the criticism it's had though. Also, would have been good to have Shadow of Mordor on Switch. I would have picked that up day one.
The 3DS eshop was/is a goldmine. Loads of games have been removed now.
Classics: Shantae and the Pirates Curse, Heroes of Ruin, Link Between Worlds, Xeodrifter, Castlevania: Mirror of Fate, Rune Factory 4, Shovel Knight, ......
I've just picked up a physical version of this for £20. Hoping it lives up to all the good things that I've heard said about it and is a well designed and paced adventure.
I don't know why an F-Zero was never made for the 3ds. The handheld has decent power and the 3d effect would have been amazing. Oh well, no point crying over something that never happened.
The earliest games that I remember playing were Golden Axe and Vectorman on my brother's Megadrive. Then soon after Super Mario Land and Tetris on the OG Gameboy.
Is Treasure a Nintendo second party developer? Didn't they used to make Sega exclusives?
They are top quality either way. Still have the original sin and punishment downloaded on wii, and gunstar heroes 3d was great. Kinda want to see them do something ambitious.
Risky's Revenge is short and sweet. Pirates Curse evolves everything from Risky's Revenge. Those two are the best in the series in my opinion. I really wish they'd go back to a pixel art style, although fingers cross for a zelda-like 3d style game soon.

This does look good.
I'm also still excited for Hazlenut Bastille but looks like that game has disappeared into the ether.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2023 Nintendo Direct?
That Zelda tears of the kingdom trailer was awful. I mean compare that to the 2016 Breath of the wild trailer. Weak and embarrassing.

@mr12calvin No, I don't really. I just said that because I couldn't think of anything else and I wanted to be the first to comment.

Re: Nintendo, Sony And Xbox Reportedly Skipping E3 2023
@UltimateOtaku91
Same! I really miss those days. It was exciting when one of the three smashed their conference and then one of the others flopped.
It is/was an event where they went head to head. If E3 goes I doubt we'll ever get that again at an event.
Re: Kadabra Might Finally Be Returning To The Pokémon Trading Card Game
@Uncle_Franklin Looooool. I can't imagine bigger praise on your life than Nintendo making a tribute to you.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 28th)
Would play some Goldeneye if I had NSO. I played it on an emulator not long ago and think it holds up better than people give it credit.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 28th)
Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Heroes of Ruin
Resident Evil Revelations
All on 3DS.
Re: Retro-Bit Gaming Reveals A Game Boy Player-Inspired GameCube Controller
This will work on SNES and Genesis/Megadrvie VC Wii games right?
Re: Talking Point: What Game Do You Replay Every Year?
Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Zelda: Majora's Mask, SF2 (Wii VC), some years Super Mario Galaxy.

Re: Bayonetta Origins Announced Exclusively For Switch, Coming March 2023
Honestly, this looks good and I'd rather play this than the mainline games.
Re: Soapbox: The Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Remake Doesn't Look Weird Enough Yet
I've never played Harvest Moon but I agree with you. The character redesigns make me sad.
Re: Random: Move Over Apple, You Can Run Mac OS On The Wii

Re: Random: Move Over Apple, You Can Run Mac OS On The Wii
Can I safely hack and add homebrew to my original wii which has some classics legit downloaded onto it and means a lot to me?

Wish we could go back to the glory of the wii vc. I don't have a NSO subscription and I don't plan on getting it for games I can emulate for free.
Re: Sega Wants To Know What Mini Console Fans Would Like To See Next
I had a Sega MegaDrive (well my brother did) when I was very small. Then I got an N64 which properly was my start into gaming.

Re: Nintendo To Broadcast Indie World Showcase Later This Week
Any chance of Hazlenut Bastille making an appearance? I think I've been waiting for it for like 5 years by now... loool
Re: Talking Point: What On Earth Is Going On With Square Enix?
Where's Heroes Of Ruin 2?
Lol. I know it didn't sell that well, but it was fun!
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The Latest Nintendo Direct?
Fire Emblem looks good. Pikmin 4 was a surprise, but Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the only thing that I'm really excited for.

Re: Review: Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince - A Cute Zelda-Like Adventure That Lacks Fresh Ideas
I liked the first one so will be picking this up. Also, since we're talking about retro inspired indie games;
Classic RPG- Shadows of Adam- Absolute gem (no grinding, great art style, great music, interesting story, and doesn't outstay its welcome).
Metroidvania- Timespinner- Stylish, cool, difficult Castlevania inspired side-scroller.
Re: New 'Lord Of The Rings' Game Project In Development At Wētā Workshop

Re: New 'Lord Of The Rings' Game Project In Development At Wētā Workshop
There's hardly any chance this will end up on any Nintendo platform, let alone the Switch which is only slightly more powerful than the Xbox 360.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
Maybe my GBA SP that I re-shelled myself. That together with my legit Minish Cap cartridge with my original save on it from over 15 years ago.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
For me, it's either my japanese copy of Chrono Trigger DS, or my Zelda: Wind Waker limited edition (with ocarina of time) Gamecube game.

Re: Treasure Is Apparently Working On A "Highly Requested" Title
@farrgazer Thanks for the info. Interesting that theyv never been bought by one of the big hardware/software developers.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 28th)
Zelda Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker on Gamecube (well Wii technically).
Thinking about which Gamecube or Wii game to purchase and play through next ??? Maybe Super Paper Mario?
Re: Video: A Castlevania Game... With Pigs?
Just looked on ebay and it looks like this game never released in the PAL region. Guess that doesn't matter since the ds isn't region locked.
Re: Video: A Castlevania Game... With Pigs?
Always up for a good metroidvania, especially on ds/3ds.
Re: Video: A Castlevania Game... With Pigs?
Never heard of this game. Looks interesting. But is it actually any good?
