I absolutely want to try this. My two kids (grown ass men… 😂) love the show. But £50 is too much for me to justify right now. Is it only available as a download?
There’s something kind of exciting about the announcement in a way. It kind of hints at them having developed a few new ideas that’s they really don’t want to leave out.
@John_Deacon it’s worth keeping your eyes peeled as the Lego franchises always seem to end up discounted so you may end up being able to pick up any add ons, super cheap.
I’m excited to watch, not sure what I’m hoping for though!
Any Zelda news is good news, so I’ll take whatever they give me.
I feel the itch for a really good RPG. There’s a very large Skyrim and Witcher shaped hole in my life at the moment. Because of my job I’m pretty much exclusively playing games on switch alone, and I need me some rpg….
@TheBigK I wouldn’t say that it’s down to you being easily pleased, more that others seem to want absolute perfection from years old games. So far I’m really enjoying the n64 games. Banjo is worth the price of it alone for me, I’m having an absolute blast. Last time I checked, that’s what gaming was supposed to be about; I don’t need a perfect experience whatever that is, but I expect a fun one.
I’m a complete newbie to the game; given it as a Christmas present. If anybody has any pointers, share away! Having fun with it, but also feel like I don’t really know what I’m doing 🙈🤣
It’s all relative is it not? If the gameplay is good, I’m not going to be thinking about how long it’s taking me to complete. I packed in many many hours on Skyrim and The Witcher and didn’t bat an eye at that. If the gameplay isn’t up to snuff though, I’ll put it down.
@arekdougy I have always looked after mine but the dock definitely does scratch! I ended up putting electrical tape on the bits that stick out in the dock where you slide the switch in because it has left scratch marks on the back, and you absolutely need a screen protector.
It’s very pretty to look at. But unless something happens to my current OG release day switch I think I will wait it out for a power bump. Don’t think I can justify buying a new one for a nicer display just yet.
I would be lying to say I wasn’t disappointing, but I am not overly bothered about TWW and TP, I would rather see OTT and MM, as they haven’t had a rerelease like the other two.
This peep brought me so so much joy, but the news that they have no plans for any other Zelda ports absolutely broke my heart! I was so hoping for a couple of the golden oldies to arrive.
@echoplex is this your actual 40th, or is it like mine and your post Covid-19 lockdown birthday? Mine didn’t count last summer if I wasn’t allowed to celebrate!
Just thinking that may make that wait even more lengthy 🤣
@KateGray unfortunately it’s a very poor attempt at putting a sustainable front on. Their actual practices have a long long way to go, as have all the brands who are launching these types of campaigns.
H&M apparently have a terrible reputation in terms of how they treat the workers making their clothes.
Well yeah, same melody, they’ve just thrown it in a different key, and made a few other changes.
Does this count as flat out copying in the music world? If I took a knitting pattern and changed a few elements, the new version is my pattern…. It’s a bit low to do it, but it would still be classed as my original idea.
Congratulations team! Now how would a young (haha 40s young!) enthusiastic, fresh faced writer…. ME… get to write an article or two for your wonderful site? I’ve tried to contact via the contact us a couple of times but have sadly never heard back. makes sad puppy dog eyes at whole team
Mmm this is an interesting one. Korok forest looks pretty amazing it has to be said, but then some of the meadow and forest shots look kind of awful. Too bright ( all those rays of light are super distracting and wash stuff out in my opinion). But then the shots of the coast look great. Proof nothing is perfect?
With that said, I love the game just how it is, it’s like playing in a gorgeous fairytale novel. I need to take a moment after watching too to say that it can’t be ignored that the musical score for the game is simply beautiful! I haven’t played in ages but the music makes me want to set it all up right now and play it all day ❤️
Is the game a bit clunky in the controls nowadays? Yeah, but it was like magic when it first came out, opening up a whole new world (quite literally!) another fab article. ✌🏻
I played OOT while pregnant with my first son, so MM got lost to the black while that is the first few years of bringing up wee ones! I was always sad to have missed out on this title, and this article has just elevated that to almost a painful level! Clinging to the hope it gets a rerelease for the anniversary 🤞🏻
Any teeny tiny grain of hope I had of a possible 2021 release pretty much vanished last night 😭🤣. Seriously though, the excitement crashing to the floor just about killed me last night.

That can only be a good thing in my opinion!

Re: Video: TT Games Talks About 'Building The Galaxy' In LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
I can’t wait! I feel the Lego games have been a bit lacking in recent years but this look like a return to form.

Re: Banjo-Kazooie Joins Switch Online's Expansion Pack This Week
Aw I’ve been waiting for this! Have really enjoyed replaying OOT and a first play of Paper Mario, but this is the gam I signed up for.
I don’t have an issue with the price personally, especially when taking the addition of the AC happy home designer add on etc.

This is the team up I didn’t know I needed, and yet here we are! I will absolutely be buying this, so sad I don’t get to play yorik though…
Re: Dying Light 2 Will Take At Least 500 Hours To "Fully Complete"

Re: Switch OLED Model Scores 2 Out Of 10 On Screen Durability Scratch Test

Re: Flame In The Flood Developer Acquired By CD Projekt Group
Flame in the flood is one of my fav indie titles. Hugely frustrating at times but great fun. Excited to see what they are cooking up with CDP

Re: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Is Getting Free DLC Inspired By The Netflix Show
Aw this is fantastic news!! I completed the game and only have a few side quests left, so an excuse to dip into this world is just brill!
Counting the days to the second season too.
Re: Reminder: A Plague Tale: Innocence - Cloud Version Is Out Now On Switch
In rural Scotland, sadly cloud gaming isn’t really an option! I would love to try this, will maybe see if I can pinch my son’s PS4 to have a go.
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting

Re: Nintendo Doesn't Have Anything Else Planned For Zelda's 35th Right Now
@NorseGamerTommy I would say that’s a little different to an on tv experience though, which is what I still hope for.

Re: Willy Morgan And The Curse Of Bone Town Brings "Modern" Point-And-Click To Switch Next Week
@ThanosReXXX I’m going to be sorely disappointed if they didn’t do it on purpose!
I think it looks great, likely to be a day one pick up for me.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Replay Games?
I’m very much camp, re-read and re-play. But they tend to be firm favourites. (Lord if the Rings, and Zelda series, I’m looking at you!)
It’s chasing that serotonin hit I think. I already know I enjoy them, so I guess they are like gaming and reading comfort food!

Re: Rumour: Neopets Could Be Coming To Switch
@Ulanda I will do, thanks.
Re: Rumour: Neopets Could Be Coming To Switch
@Celandines I hear you on the social element. It was a massive part of why I played as a young mum in on my own a lot.
I’m glad it gave you some comfort when how’s life was hard like that. ❤️
Re: Rumour: Neopets Could Be Coming To Switch
@KateGray Scientology?! Now I need to google this! 🤣
I was obsessed by this way back in its early days. I’m sure my kids were babies so it must have been at least 15+ years ago 😨
I was a dab hand at the stocks and a legend in the battle arena 💁♀️
