X is so mediocre. I played it this past year and almost didn't get through it. The gameplay is linear. The story has some interesting ideas but is pretty bad. I kind of like what they did with Yuna, but that's the only positive thing I can really say about the game. Oh and the cutscenes are good, but that's every FF.

I've played all the 3d FFs but XI and XII is the only one I wasn't able to finish due to how repetitive it got and the story wasn't that much better than 10. So I'm glad XII didn't make the list at least.

I have so many amiibo, but picked up none today. Though, I did get Metroid and Samus this week! Found them together for €25!

Portent opportunity to have said as the image spread "around the world"... But you choose social media.

@Medic_Alert if it's an entirely new system they might run into the whole Wii U issue. It's called the same thing so people assume it's a minor upgrade and see no point in spending more money to play the same games. Hopefully they continue with there monstrous ad campaign to help people realize it's something different than the Switch vanilla.

It will definitely be $349 and 6.8 inch 1080p OLED with 4k 100fps docked!

I guess these articles get a lot of comments... But it's kind of frustrating seeing what analysts say about the switch pro every other day. Especially when it's mostly just the same thing. We had months of articles about 4k graphics, then maybe a month or two of OLED... I guess now it's going to be a month of people with no clue guessing what price point the system will be. Probably next article will be about the estimated price in £ then €.

The overcooked 2 deal was much better than this and you didn't have to own any previous games.

It seems like they'd give early adopters, and especially double dippers a bigger discount when the gourmet edition for OC2 came out less than a year ago.

Wind Waker was a mediocre Zelda. It's Zelda, so it's still a good game though.

He's finally back to kick some tail!

I have it but have almost no use for it. The only reason I got it was because I was needing to repair my Switch and wanted my save files on the cloud. When it runs out I won't renew it.

What about Doshin the giant?

Why new ideas or sequels when we could have more Wii U on the Switch?

I think this is the best diverse list of RPGs but maybe not the list of best RPGs. Are they all great and unique, yes. Are they the best... That's a hard argument to make if you have Mystic Quest but not FFlII/6. Are they all the best in their subcategory, probably.

Either way I'm glad to see this here and I look forward to the next write up!

They should definitely be 18+

It is the best Zelda. By far the best story in a Zelda game. The best antagonist, the best items, the best music. Of course there are a few complaints I have but the goods far outweigh the bads.

What about old hacked save files?

I noticed you don't have Ocarina of time Master Quest.

How do I get in on the Beta?

I think you mean unironically celebrate...

@1ofUs I hope they do!

@stuN_zeeD_kiL thanks! I'd probably love the rpg, if it was in english. Oh well.

At this point I only care about the new Amiibos.

REKT and #racedierun are pretty good. Though Rekt is way better. Very similar to Rush 2049 stunt mode.

Why dust off what is already used daily? I can't really until Wii U gets Mario 3D, mariokart 8, BOTW and all those other great Switch exclusives!

I love Robotech the anime but unfortunately I don't think I've ever played a good Robotech videogame.

No Skyward Sword means trash list. I think most people didn't get into it because it was at the end of the Wii's cycle we opposed to the beginning. I think the reason botw is so highly rated is for the opposite reason. Though there are short fallings it has far and away the best story of any Zelda game. BOTW has just about the worst. There's also obvious short fallings of Wind Waker, though obviously a good game, that people seem to ignore these days.

Joy cons sold out everywhere. I love bots!

They have 4 reds and none of them are my favorite red!

Better than Breath of the Wild. I said it. Also I remember other journalist saying "if I played this more I would have given it game of the year instead of zelda". Glad it's getting the recognition it deserves.

Whether can I pre order the joycons in the US? I don't really care about pre ordering the game.

Umm triangle strategy demo?

Ghirahim is one of the best Zelda villains. I think it is great that he borders on disturbing and I always appreciate it when they push the envelope with villains in Zelda. That's one of my many complaints of BOTW actually. No memorable villains.

@Sahnec I'd rather play it at 4k which we can now that I have a 4k TV than use an analog stick to swing the sword. But yeah even though it's probably my favorite Zelda game, the motion controls weren't my favorite.

But yeah you're right, streaming quality is always sub par. Even non-live streaming like Netflix compared to 4k bluray.

I mean, I'm excited about the amiibo but their is no way I am buying this game again. I dumped it and emulated and to be honest, it looked better. My wife even asked when we saw the trailer "didn't the Wii version look better". I had to remind her we emulated it at 2k.

This is my favorite Zelda game! But... I'm more excited about the controllers because I've already played through the game twice and don't want to drop money on something I already have.

But also me and the people I know don't have the kind of money @TurtleTurtle has. So yeah, if money isn't a question I would probably recommend a Switch.

Yeah I have it on Wii U... so no. Just like practically all the other Wii U ports, I already own them. Unfortunately that means my Switch doesn't get too much action. I've just started playing Mario Kart 8 again. Actually I still just recommend people buy a used Wii U instead of a Switch if they don't have either yet. Because for the price of a new Switch you can get a Wii U with all the Switch ports, plus many games that are yet to be ported. Recently I saw a Wii U with 13 games including MK8 and Super Mario 3D world, and 4 extra controllers for €150. And if you don't have either yet you're probably not thaaaat into needing the newest thing out there.

I'd much rather have a Tron movie or series or game or new Daft Punk album. But Tron is Tron I'm excited for anything I can get

Switch Pro Confirmed.

Yes I preferred the variety of the first Hyrule warriors, but the story in this game and it's more focused connection to a single game made it ever so slightly more enjoyable to me. Personally I hate DLC as it is almost always 1/10 of the gameplay for 1/3 of the price so I probably won't buy it. But I'll definitely be looking for it because you never know, and the main game is quite good. My wife thinks the story is better than BOTW and honestly I'd trend to agree. The lack of story in BOTW was my main turn off.

Since I enjoyed, especially the humor of, the Skylanders games this nail in the coffin is kind of sad. Were the toys overly expensive, did they abuse their system by making previous toys les powerful, did the games get incrementally worse after the second installment... Yes. But I enjoyed them all the same, and got all the toys on deep discount.

Probably everyone that played games back when they were standard misses them. It's frustrating when you play a bit more complicated game and have to search online for hope to do things that would have previous been at your finger tips, much more easily found, in instruction manuals.

Anyone care to write out the list?

Anyone else think the joycon straps look like they have little gold coins on them?

@Clyde_Radcliffe Yeah it's great! Unfortunately I never would have found it if it wasn't discount.

Also I picked up conduct together for pretty cheap and ended up moving it. Also Rekt was pretty great to play with my family. Unfortunately the other 15 or so games I got for cheap or free were basically a waste of time. At this point there's enough games worth my time that I'll shell out the money for them.

If there's anything I learned this past year it is to trust big business and not complain.

So in theory with digital sales the numbers could be way higher! Why don't we know digital sales of AC but we know them for seemingly every other game on the list?

How much bad news do you think your readers can take in one day?!

@AndyC_MK84 yes where one person with the gamepad was the ghost and the others tried to catch the ghost. But yeah I recently played them all and the out of I believe 12 games only 2 or 3 were bad for me.

@AndyC_MK84 So then the PC is the best place to game in your opinion because it has essentially an infinite catalog?

Definitely agree with what you said to killer Bob
