@Agramonte Yeah Im excited for Rise and I've never properly got into a Monster Hunter game.
Hopefully Nintendo will drop something Zelda related (maybe a collection) after this fiscal year. Something is definitely happening after the anniversary limited editions get taken down...
I like the voice acting and the actress I'd just have rather they had characterised Zelda differently in Breath of the Wild. I don't think she should be so vulnerable.
I don't think voice acting is a good fit to the Zelda series anyway though. I'd rather honestly have text bubbles.
@GrandScribe I don't see how they could make conventional controls work with Skyward Sword? The puzzle solving and combat is linked to the specific motion controls.
Exactly. I don't know why so many people keep talking about a Skyward Sword remake, even people who talk about games for a living have been beating the drum about it for months.
The game would have to be completely remade. It wouldn't be the same game. Also, who said EVERY Zelda game needs a remake anyway. Let them work on something new.
I just put a new shell on my gba sp, so might play through the underrated lotr the two towers which is a diablo style hack 'n' slash with tons of loot and potential to level up. Either that or a three heart challenge in ocarina of time 3d.
@invictus4000 A return to a pixel art style and its day one for me. I really liked Risky's Revenge and Pirates Curse but 1/2 Genie Hero just seemed generic. I havent even picked up Seven Sirens because of the art style and the gameplay/physics that come with the style.
How does this guy get paid to talk about videogames? Especially Nintendo? He consistently shows a clear lack of understanding about the company, its games, and the way it operates. He's wrong 90% of the time. I don't understand how he's in the position he's in.
I actually think the most likely scenario is that its either Vaati or a new villain. I mean he's dressed like Vaati, his face looks like Vaati's and the eye on the headband looks like the eye of the final boss in Minish Cap. If it is Vaati this will set up some epicness in BOTW 2.
@aray03 That would be so awesome if it is Vaati, he's a great antagonist and has never been in a 3D game. I'm going to watch out for spoilers from now on.
£50 is way too much. Maybe Nintendo has some amazing games lined up for 2021, because at least that would slightly numb the blow of what a let down this year has been in terms of first party games.
Don't get me wrong I love 3D Mario, 64 and Galaxy are in the top 10 games ever made (by a lot of peoples standards), but the output and information, from Nintendo, on whats coming has been poor.
I bought a Super Mario Land box and manual for £5 on ebay recently. The manual was genuine but I'm not sure about the box. It looks good though and is the next best thing I guess.

Re: Ubisoft Switch Sale Discounts Immortals Fenyx Rising, Mario + Rabbids And Plenty More
@NorseGamerTommy
It doesn't have a discount in Europe?
Damn, I was gna pick it up.
Might have to finally purchase Fire Emblem Awakening...
Re: Ubisoft Switch Sale Discounts Immortals Fenyx Rising, Mario + Rabbids And Plenty More
With this discount I'm defo picking up immortals just before Xmas when I get paid.

@Agramonte
Mario 3D All Stars and Age of Calamity are the first full price console games I've bought in about 2 years and they were great.
Re: UK Charts: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Takes Christmas Number One, Four Nintendo Games Hit Top Ten
@Clyde_Radcliffe
I think they should still brand it Mario Kart though.

I actually really dislike Link in BOTW for some reason.

Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air Tomorrow, 15th December
I'm hoping for a 16 bit style Shantae game.
Pirates Curse is easily the best in the series for me.

Re: Feature: What Does Nintendo Have Planned For Zelda’s 35th Anniversary?
@NathanTheAsian
That's a point. But would Nintendo do that with a big ip like Zelda?
Re: Feature: What Does Nintendo Have Planned For Zelda’s 35th Anniversary?
A Skyward Sword remake would have to work on Switch Lite...

Re: Developers Of The New Perfect Dark Will Treat It "Very Carefully"
This is probably years away but good to see.
Re: Feature: What Does Nintendo Have Planned For Zelda’s 35th Anniversary?
BOTW 2 and a retro collection. There's no way they'll put in the effort to remake anything.
Re: Review: Mable & The Wood - A Metroidvania That Sadly Fails To Excite
I might give this a try. Timespinner and Chasm didn't review too well on Nintendolife and those are two of my favourite metroidvanias.
Re: Random: Metroid's Samus Trends On Twitter As Fans Speculate Over Potential Fortnite Crossover
I hope Nintendo don't start out their ip...
If this was a 2d Metroid game made by wayforward that would be great though.
Re: Random: March 31st 2021 Is Becoming An Increasingly Depressing Day For Mario Fans
Something really weird is gna happen the day after March 31st.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is Already The Best-Selling Warriors Game Of All Time
If they make another Zelda Warriors game, it'd be great to focus on the backstory to Ocarina of Time.
Re: Yes, The Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch Can Run DOOM
Does this mean it'll be able to run nes/master system games?
Re: Kemco Kicks Off Big RPG Savings Across Switch And 3DS For Black Friday
@Yanina lol, yeah they're so mediocre they cancel each other out.
Re: 3DS System Update 11.14.0-46 Is Now Live
I really regret not buying a 2ds or 2ds xl in the summer. I'm still rocking the original black version from 2011 😂
Re: 3DS System Update 11.14.0-46 Is Now Live
I really wish some random 3rd party or indie would still make games for the handheld powerhouse.
Re: Happy 68th Birthday, Shigeru Miyamoto
So under-appreciated in his own time. Happy Birthday Miyamoto san! 🎂
I hope in 20 years time he's still making games at Nintendo.
Re: Video: Check Out These Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Ads Now Airing On Japanese TV
@TheSmashTheorist Oh my bad, it released on Switch and PS4.
Re: Video: Check Out These Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Ads Now Airing On Japanese TV
@TheSmashTheorist It didn't release on Switch as far as I know?
Re: Video: Check Out These Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Ads Now Airing On Japanese TV
@TG16_IS_BAE
What about the Persona Musou game. Weren't people hyped for that?
Re: WayForward Says It's Open To A Remake Of The Original Shantae Game
@invictus4000 A return to a pixel art style and its day one for me. I really liked Risky's Revenge and Pirates Curse but 1/2 Genie Hero just seemed generic. I havent even picked up Seven Sirens because of the art style and the gameplay/physics that come with the style.
Re: Nintendo Wants To Know Whether You Prefer 2D Or 3D Zelda Games
3D definitely...probably because Ocarina of Time was my first Zelda.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Comfort Food Game?
Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D.
If I was stuck on a desert island, that would be the game I'd take.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Wii Games
@StooBush
Madworld will always be one of my favourite wii games.
What an unexpected top 10?
Where's Bully, Goldeneye or RE: Darkside Chronicles?
Re: Soapbox: An Ode To The 3DS, Nintendo's Workhorse Console
I still think its a little retro powerhouse. The N64 Zelda's, Pokemon and VC games make it essential even now.
Re: PowerA Continues Mario's 35th Anniversary Celebrations With Three New Switch Controllers
That gamecube style controller looks slick imo.
Re: Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 To Be Shown To The Public For The First Time Next Month
@Kalmaro same. I hope they continue using a pixel art style for the third game.

Re: Hands On: Immortals: Fenyx Rising Could Be The Switch Adventure You Need This Holiday
@BeefSanta Thats what I was thinking, what a generic, cringy game title. Gods and Monsters was a much better name.

Re: Rodea The Sky Soldier Is Being Removed From The Wii U And 3DS eShops In Japan
The wii version is actually a good game.
Re: Review: Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut - Showing Its Age, But Still A Fun Ride
Pirates Curse is the best...especially the 3ds version because of the 3d effect.
1/2 Genie Hero was ok, and Seven Sirens looks like it does nothing different. Wayforward should create a HD pixel art style for the next game.
Re: Video: New Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Trailer Teases Breath Of The Wild's Yiga Clan
Who is "the fortune teller" from BOTW lore?
I actually think the most likely scenario is that its either Vaati or a new villain. I mean he's dressed like Vaati, his face looks like Vaati's and the eye on the headband looks like the eye of the final boss in Minish Cap. If it is Vaati this will set up some epicness in BOTW 2.
Re: Random: Minecraft Steve's Smash Ultimate Win Screen Is, Erm, Unfortunate
Lol I actually find this offensive. But funny too.
