No, th enext version should move ahead. Sure, it could use some aspects of BotW/TotK, but it needs to change it up too. It will likely be on the next console, so I think it will offer something different depending on how that takes shape.

I generally agree tha tthe dungeons are fine for these types of games, and that doesn't make the old style inherently superior, but I do still like the old style too and kinda miss it. The lack of action is what is missing, the threat of very tough enemies in those dungeons and being prepared for that. I think weapon durability ahs a LOT to do with the lack of combat, and that's one reason that I don't love that. I really enjoyed BOTW and an enjoying TOTK, dungeons and all. I love the clever shrines. Still, imagine a BOTW style Zelda game without weapon breakage AND the Hookshot! Oooh, now that'd be something.

@Ralizah Oh my God - THAT'S a thing (your spoiler). I want that so bad!

I don't dislike the device and think it could work - IF the price is reasonable. If it's overpriced, then it will fail. They have to consider that it has limitations, but I could see the usefulness. Honestly, if it could function as a "second screen" while playing on TV, that would truly be awesome, but it'd never get the support thanks to a lower install base. Agian, the price will be the key.

I mean, I hate lootboxes, but I don't see them as "immoral" or anything. If you don't like them, don't buy them. If more people did, they would stop offering them. Apparently, a lot of people who play smart device games do buy them, so it is what it is. I don't know WHY they buy them, but they do.

It's an awesome glitch and I will admit to wanting to use it. The grind can just be too much sometimes in these games. I already use amiibos to get stuff, and sell off the good meat and such. It won't harm my enjoyment of the game to never really need money.

It's nice that that's this guy's JOB! Living the dream, sir.

@HeadPirate That's helpful to know - thanks.

@AndreyBoarao You can't unfuse once it is close to breaking? Because you can normally - it just destroys the fused item, but not the base weapon.

So, if you fuse a weapon that is close to breaking does it get a fresh durability? Can you unfuse and re-fuse to soemthing else for more? Just curious - I haven't gotten too far into the game yet.

I give it an 8 - it IS a great game, jsut as BOTW was, but it's still not my preferred style of Zelda game. There is still too much running around doing nothing, plus I just don't dig the weapon system with durability and breakage and all. I do like the Fusing concept though! I also don't like how they jsut drop power after power on you at the beginning - I'd rather have to find them over the course of the game. Don't get me wrong either - the game is compelling, even though I am barely into it, and I will enjoy my time with it for sure, but it's not perfect and not the best example of what a Zelda game can be to me.

@gloom I mean, the Sheika Slate and Guardians and all that....

Also, I don't really understand why people take such joy in doing these depraved thigns to Koroks? It's weird to me - they are friendly creatures.

I used to have trouble witht he Super Metroid wall jump, but I finally figured out the timing. It is weird timing, but it does work consistently. The trick is you have to press the opposite direction, but wait to jump until Samus makes that little pose. It is unintuitive comparest to other games where you just jump and pull at the same time.

I like Mipha the best overall, but in Calamity Warriors, I like playing as Urbosa more. Mipha's Grace I think was the most useful power - at least it was the one I used most - ha!

Well, technically, my all-time favorite is in my avatar to the left - the NES MAX! But, for mainline controllers, you gotta go with Gamecube - it's so great! That said, I think NES-101 got totall shafted as it is way superior to the original rectangular NES controller. Also, the Virtual Boy controller is actually ptetty great, the first to implement 3D control with two pads (a precursor to dual-analog sticks), and the handles were great to hold. They system may not have been great, but the controller sure was.

I voted for IV but I so wanted to click II, because to me it was II. It was the first one I played, but I really loved it.

You know, I think I'd almost rather play this version.

@dkxcalibur Well, for all intents and purposes anywya. He is the mascot for the various festivals, which pretty much run year-round now. They used to use Duffy Bear more, but they kind of got rid of him in the US parks.

@dkxcalibur Yeah, his ride could really use an overhaul. The originsl version was so great! Then they remade it into a version without Figment (though with Eric Idle). After Bakclash, they re-added Figment (and kept Idle). It's okay, but it could really use a rehab.

Also, for those interested, there are a couple of Disney Kingdoms comic books that have the story of Figment. He's never been in a movie though. He is used as the mascot for Epcot and their many festivals that they have seasonally.

@Serpenterror Even a compilation release of all of the classic TRON games would be great!

I love TRON, but I'm not the biggest visual novel guy. It may be worth a shot though.

I used motion controls on Wii - it seemed that was the intent and it did work pretty well. On Switch, I might use motion controls sometimes, but usually use the stick.

I thought it was awesome! I'll give it an 8 because it wasn't perfect, but I am quite happy with it and would love to see more.

@Fuzzgablinky Yes! I didn't want to read this until after I saw the movie, but when I saw the headline I thought it meant that it had more story than spectacle. It should be "substitue story WITH spectacle" or "spectacle for story."

Aaaaaanyway, I didn't think it was too light on either. What's the problem with the story? I thought it was great, especially the fathers/sons angle.

The movie was great and is expected to do very well. More will certainly be in the works. I think Illumination is a great partner for Nintendo. I've never been a huge fan of their stuff, but but I recognize the talent. With the lands at Universal too, it all makes sense.

I have my tickets for tonight - super excited!

I mean, if you can, the best way will always be on the original hardware. That's just going to give you the pure experience. But, most other ways will work just fine. Best if you can at least use an NES controller.

Ultrahand - nice reference.

@Papery0shi I'm okay with it if it's a very simple system, but if it's too complicated I lose interest quickly.

I'm sad to see weapon degradation is back - I don't want to break my created weapons!

I have an original, and XL and then a New XL. I never got any of the 2DS models nor the smaller New iteration.

As great of a game as BOTW was, it has some issues. Now, if they address those issues - COUGH*Weapon Durability*COUGH - then I will be really into it. We haven't really seen enough to know though. I'm sure it will be good though - but will it be great?

Nothing pre-1985? Not that I'd necessarily vote for one of those years, but there are legitimate reasons why someone might.

I really liked Get It Together, but I agree with otehrs that Gold it the best. It's essentially the first three all in one!

@Anti-Matter What's sad is that I really like the look of this game, and love Disney characters, but I wish it were just a regular release. I'd be all over it if it were! I may try it when it is "free to play" and see how it is, but I won't spend a dime on it, so if it's impossible to progress, then I'll drop it super quick.

I want to like this, but I just cant get into roguelikes. There's jsut something about them I don't like.

@Il_Nintenditore I really don't see that in a lot of movies though. I mean, I'm sure it's out there, but a lot of the fandoms are jumping at shadows. There are plenty of male heroes that are doing just great.

@Il_Nintenditore I mean, I've seen a lot of movies in recent years and...?

Yeah, sometimes it happens, but the complaints about it are way overblown if you ask me.

@The-Chosen-one It really does look great, doesn't it. I had been cautious about it, but it seems they have nailed it. I knew when they did that SMB Plumbing ad that it was being made with lots of love for the franchise!

@Vexx234 I might argue that Mario IS one of Peach's "resources." Being captured sometimes doesn't diminish her when she's been shown to be strong as well. I think everyone really reads too much into this stuff.

@wiiware I guarantee you that Mario will be the hero of the movie. He'll just have a little learning curve because he is in a new world to him - it's a typical plot. It doesn't diminish him if she has to show him the ropes. I think that it's a lot of worry about nothing.

@Bass_X0 I don't think she'll be "aggressive," just strong and confident. As many have posted examples of from the games, she already is!

@OFFICIALMichi RIght? They're gonna pat themselves on the back, but Peach has been doing all of these things since Super Mario Bros. 2! Sure, sometimes, she's captured by Bowser - sometimes Mario is captured by King Boo too! I mean, I'm glad to see a feisty Princess in the movie, but to me that's what she's always been!

I got my preorder today, finally. A little late, but it's worth having ht ephysical for me. I love that the reversible cover is still a proper cover with the red side and information on the back, so it matches the others.

@Uncle_Franklin Yeah, but in general. That's why I don't think of Mario as eating the mushrooms, or any power-up really. They are more like magical items in my mind.

@Uncle_Franklin Does he? It's been such a long time for me and that game. I just never remember it being framed like that. I mean, he wouldn't eat a Starman, right?

You don't actually EAT Super Mushrooms though - if you touch one you will grow big and it will instantly vanish. Where does it go? I don't know.

I like Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess beteter, with a central town. You cross less empty expanse and have a hub to operate from.

Here my preorder is delayed and I haven't seen it in the wild. Why did they release it like this instead of as a typical mass release?

I've had my eye on this one and it sounds cool. I may have to pick it up!

I do agree that it appears to not be a "Metroidvania," another reason we should ABOLISH use of that term. Metroid was doing it way before Castlevania was, so just compare them all to Metroid. This looks like more of a CV game before SOTN.

I want it so badly, but my pre-order is delayed and I couldn't find it in any stores at all yesterday. WHY did this release this so weridly?
