@jerkob The bigger question is, why does every 2D game these days seem to be a roguelike/lite? Can't they make some actual levels? I'm just not that into them, even when everything else about the game looks cool (case in point - this one).

I'm from the school that it is a legend - that is, while there may be a cohesive history to the universe, each tale has been told so many times that the details may or may not be accurate. It's vague, purposefully so. While certain games do tie together as directly related (Zelda 1 & 2, Ocarina & Majora, etc.), mostly it's just a retelling of events.

@Manguy888A It is - it is a "Kunio-Kun" game by Technos Japan. They also developed Double Dragon. A lot of their games never came to the US, and if they did, they were given new names and published by various companies. those little stocky characters are the main indication.

I'm genrally hitting a lot of the Shredder's Revenge DLC - it's fun!

@Bass_X0 So you've never seen a trailer for a gam that looked kinda lame but it turned out to be good, or even a trailer for a game that looked amazing and turned out to be junk? It happens all the time. I'm just saying it's early and the concept at least is interesting, so it's worth a wait and see.

I so glad that everyone is so sure this game is terrible based on 20 seconds of gameplay footage. I'm not saying it will be great either, but let's at least wait and see. It says it's early footage in the trailer - give 'em a chance!

Well, I love me some G.I. Joe, so I'll keep an eye on this. If it can be as good as Shredder's Revenge, that will be great. I dig the new song, but I hope they have some remakes of the classic theme too.

@Thomystic I don't think it will match you to everyone playing, just a group that all started the level at the same time that you did.

@Desrever Yeah, I'm not normally into online modes, but with this you are essentially playing solo, but with company. That appeals to me more really.

Drill looks awesome! I can see that being my go-to backup item. Bubble will definitely be useful in creating platforms. I am actually least excited for Elephant.

I am all over this one! That presentation was great. It really has a lot more than I expected. Badges are cool, and one that gives you a Bionic Commando style grappling vine? Yes! I know some are lamenting that it's just more 2-D Mario/New SMB - but what's wrong with that?

@nin10doom That's kind of how I feel about all roguelikes. I just don't get it. Some of them do look kinda cool, but they're just not for me.

@RandomGamesAndStuff I almost think that Mario Kart has reached a peak, and that the next iteration will be more like "Super Smash Kart." just bring in all the Nintendo characters, themed tracks, etc. It's the logical evolution.

@Roam85 Four Swords was a BLAST with four people, but it was so equipment intense that I think a lot of people missed out on it or just tried to play it single player. I had the Cube and several cables, and most of my friends had their own GBAs, so we had fun with that and Crystal Chronicles. It was such a great concept.

@Friendly Okay, thanks. It would be cool functionality, but I figured that they wouldn't do it.

@Mrkittyhead Ages is puzzle heavy while Seasons is combat oriented. there are still some puzzles/strategy you have to use, like having to change the seasons to a certain one to pass certain areas.

@Friendly Yeah, but int he originals instead of copying hte password you could use a link cable to start the secrets game. You could also trade rings with otehr games/players using the cable. I was just curious if the two cames could "talk" on the Switch.

These games are great. I was hoping for a Link's Awakening style remake with some QOL improvements, though this is nice too. Does anyone know if you have to link using a password, or can you link automatically as if you were using the link cable method?

All of them, please!

F-Zero probably deserves it the most and would be the most successful too. I wouldn't say no to Custom Robo though. Kid Icarus really needs to have the 3DS game ported or a new game in that style.

I've been doing that since before SMB 2 even came out!

@Baker1000 Yeah, I've never ehard that interpreteation. PTSD sure. That said, I also defend Other M - it's a little clunky (story wise) but there's nothing inherently so bad about it. I really liked hte gameplay for the most part!

This is a great game, but difficult, I think in part due to the controls. I get what they were going for, and it does work, but it's just a bit awkward. The game itself, the story and dialogue are just fantastic though.

Mystical Ninja is my top-pick - LOVE that game!

The original Temple of Doom arcade is great! I used to pump quarters in that thing at the mall. The NES port is unfortunately not as good.

@Jayenkai I love WarioWare too. I hope you have recovered will from surgery - things can change over time so maybe you can pick it back up. You didn't get Twisted over there? I love that one. That one gave us "Mona Pizza!"

Man, I love me some WarioWare! I'm in.

@Ladasta Yeah, I can't do Roguelikes either. I just don't get the appeal. It's too bad, because I like the look of this game.

I mean, that sounds pretty good. I'm not being sarcastic. I might pick some different pop songs, but, only because those have been used a lot.

@Sora181 Yes, the new Mickey cartoons are GREAT and more like the cartoons from the 1930's. They really capture the original spirit.

I agree that animation is the highest form of art - I am a huge fan. That said, I don't thing Super Mario Bros. pushed any boundaries - it's a very safe movie, not that that's a bad thing. I also disagree that animation is being held hostage by anyone - there is a lot of good and creative work going on out there, and it's coming from all corners. Some of it isn't even my cup of tea (like I personally can't stand the purposefully choppy frame rate stuff), but it's getting made, and by the big companies too. I saw Pixar's Elemental last night - it wa great! It kinda is a "teenage rom-com" too, but it has that Pixar heart.

@Vivianeat Yeah. The only thing I didn't really like abotu Sonic 4 was it's borken-up, episodic release. I couldn't get the second part on Wii at all. It was still a decent game though.

Man, guys, give them a chance! They did pretty well with Mario and at least we know they care a lot about the Nintendo characters. I figured this was inevitable after Mario's huge success - I'll be looking forward to it.

I love it! Usagi is great, plus it looks like they have the wrestling costumes from the Archie Comics.

Yeah, I don't see it as a huge cheat in a single-player game. Sometimes the grind is just brutal. I have cloned some precious items that I have, though I am so early I don't have much variety - they will at least be good for cash. It's not that different than getting a bunch of stuff from amiibos, which I also do. I have not updated yet, but it is asking me to. I figure I will at some point.

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.
