I say no more Tingle in the main line games, and no more kids with super long snots hanging out. I hate that lol

@Ryan_Again

As much as I love Twilight Princess, the only good character designs are Link, Wolf Link, Midna and Zelda. Everyone else has such a hideous look

Three Houses, but Engage wasn’t terrible. It was just forgettable in the story department, and the characters felt AI generated. Assets thrown together vibes for me.

Where Engage really shined was the combat; I loved the boosts and transformations, plus it was really slick looking and feeling

@Lightsiyd

Dang I forgot about Animorphs. So good, wonder when that will become a game series. (Not like the gameboy color game, that one sucked)

@OorWullie

And worth every penny

The Tales series is one that keeps tricking me. I got Symphonia a while back, Abyss on 3DS and more recently Vesperia on Switch. And each time I think “THIS is gonna be the Tales game I enjoy”, and then end up dropping after a pretty short time.

Just can’t get into the series

@Spider-Kev

Famous rap song from the 90s, very good song

@Spider-Kev

You’ve never heard the song Wanna Be A Baller?

Nothing for me this week, I just got paper Mario so I’ll be twiddling through that for a while. If Luigi’s mansion was a $30 game I’d be all over that though!

I have a hard time getting into NES games, they dont really hold up for me. I’d much rather see SNES Remix or the likes

I enjoyed it on my 3ds, but I don’t think it warrants a $60 price tag. If they do a sale, or a Nintendo Select, and sell it cheaper then I may purchase it

@PtM

I can see that point of view, but I feel there’s a difference in “Zelda clone” and “something to fill the void left behind when Zelda went open air”

@quinnyboy58

Feels like you missed the point of the article.

Nobody is wishing for a Zelda clone, the point is Nintendo has seemingly moved Zelda in a different direction from the standard traditional style of play. So they raise the question: what series could step up and fill that role while Zelda continues to change?

@Noxide

I remember reading back in the day that the devs wanted to play with time travel stuff, I hope they work that into this game.

Super excited, but wish we could have gotten prime 2 hd as well

Totally agree. A key element to Metroid is getting upgrades. Wouldn’t be very fun to have every item right from the start, and that’s part of what I didn’t enjoy from BoTW and ToTK.

I voted “don’t know” because the options give two viewpoints each: if we think we’ll see them in the future (I do) and “I love them” or “I’d buy a few”. I definitely think we’ll see more, but I won’t be buying them. I bought Link, Zelda and Samus from smash bros as a single purchase probably 9 years ago and they just weren’t my thing

@Zaruboggan

Man, what an ugly boxart. I know it’s supposed to be showing the 3 DLC and all that, but it’s poorly executed. Still, I love the board game so perhaps I’ll buy the special edition if it plays well on the Switch

“The reason for this discrepancy is simple: Three Houses expanded the fanbase by shifting the focus away from its strategy elements, whereas Engage doubled down on its strategy roots.“

This isn’t true for me. The reason I enjoyed 3 Houses more than Engage was the characters, writing, story beats. Engage didn’t have any of these, at least not memorable ones.

Epic Yarn Switch would be mint

Crashed Frigate from Metroid Prime is a fantastic underwater level. Eerie, dark, the haunting music, and then once you get the gravity suit it really opens up. But that music alone should make it on this list, such a beautiful tune

I’d like to reuse my joy cons, but they’ve all suffered from drift. Plus some of the older gray ones have a hard time staying synced

Sounds like an awesome $10 game, but not worth the price tag.

@Edu23XWiiU

Metroid Prime Remastered is such a great game, I may have to pull it out and replay it

Now that iOS allows emulation, I’ve been digging into GBA and DS games. This week has been mostly Pokémon Platinum. I played through Pearl YEARS ago, and never got Platinum so it’s been fun.

I’m also dabbling in FF VI Advance and Metroid Fusion, but just barely

Ah man, I can’t wait. It’s gonna be glorious to replay Thousand Year Door

@ClickBrick

To each their own, but I enjoy all these articles and click to view every time

Hotel Delfino on Sirena Beach, the sunsets especially

Hurts to see Four Heroes of Light so low (or high?) on this list. It's such a fun game, with unique mysteries and characters. The storybook aesthetics, challenging gameplay, crown system, wizard mouse, it's all so good. If my DS would hold a charge, I'd replay it today

@KnightsTemplar

Same here. I didn't notice it had renewed and it was a few hoops but surprisingly I got my money back

In my 30s now, I seem to enjoy FFV the most. The gameplay is fun, job system especially. Then IX, mostly for the characters. My current list would be 5, 9, 6, 3, 4 Heroes of Light

@Angelic_Lapras_King

Oh man, such a great game. I didn't realize he was the same guy!

I agree with the majority here: it should be a single game, and that single game should be more polished.

Me and my 4 year old daughter really enjoyed the demo, so perhaps down the road we'll get the full version

Bravely Default was a lot of fun, I didn't play the sequel on DS but Bravely Default II was a blast. The classes, the music, speeding up the combat, the locations. The enemies running away from you when you got too powerful!

The only gripe I really had was Seth's story not really making sense (in the begining he washed up and was apparently from a different world, with no memory).

Looking forward to either a Bravely Second for BD2, a remaster of the first game, or an all new entry. If it's a mobile game then I'm all set

On the bright side, I can happily save money

I've been looking for more easy breezy games that I can play with my 4 year old, so it sounds like the simple controls will work out for that! She can't read, but she loves Mario RPG and replaying through the low level sections of Octopath 2 as a level 60 party

Man I'm absolutely loving Octopath 2, that game is phenomenal. I also really enjoyed Octopath 1, Triangle Strategy, and Bravely Default 2. So all the Square Enix games I have on Switch are all bangers

I love gen 1, but they definitely don't need more remakes and revisits. Unless it's a whole new story in that region, I'm fine with a good ol fashion re-release

@Ade117
And they're still fun to play today! They aren't anything fancy, but well polished little games

@GinMiguel

I really hope the coming direct re-announces Prime 4 while shadow dropping Prime 2 Remake

@Olliemar28
I assume it's the Midna picture, because for a split second I was also very excited for a Twilight Princess remake

Awesome! I really enjoy ZREO, they're one of my top Spotify listens. Super good

@Lizuka

I was so ready to argue with you. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Engage. The combat was fun, the Engage system felt fun, most of the characters were enjoyable on the battlefield.

...But then I realized, I don't think I ever beat it. I played decently far in, but don't remember any story beats. I don't know where I left off, what any of the characters names are, any locations. As much fun as I had with it, I haven't picked it up in months and don't really feel like doing so now. It's a fun, but forgettable, game.

And that's so crazy to me. I know I had fun playing it, but somewhere down the line I just stopped and never came back

Man. I've probably said it here before, but I would LOVE a remake and a sequel to Minish Cap. That game was a lot of fun, with so much charm

@SwagaliciousJohnson

100% with you here. Twilight Princess, Wind Waker and Metroid Prime 2 on Switch would satisfy me for a while. Especially with Paper Mario on the way

I've only played the first one, but really enjoyed it. Is the second one also good?

I just want a sequel to Buu's Fury, with the graphics of Octopath Traveler 2

I went with Metroid Prime. But really, it would be erasing the GameCube version from my memory and replaying the Switch version for the first time. I played through it and loved it, but spent the whole time just checking what felt the same and what was different. I'd love to have been able to just play it as if it was my first time, it's just a fantastic game

I didn't enjoy BoTW, and ToTK lost me before I even finished the Sages quests. Zelda has always been my favorite series but these newer games don't do it for me
