Gotta say I’ve been pretty impressed with what I’ve seen of this movie so far. I thought the first one sucked, and this is closer to what I would want as a fan of the original games
It’s my favorite 3D Zelda, and second favorite zelda all time. That said, it’s not as polished as ocarina in comparison. Majora can be pretty sloppy and obtuse at times, but that comes with the territory of being such an off the game. Have to just accept whatever collateral damage is there. Majora gang forever
Aside from rookie mode being a good thing for accessibility, this announcement was such a tease. I thought for a second it would be more game, not just a don’t die mode lol
Mercury steam should take a crack at a 2d castlevania. Aside from that, dark souls has eaten every single bit of Castlevanias lunch at this point. Brownie, capri sun, everything. What does Castlevania do that from software games haven’t yet? I just can’t see them both existing in the 3D space. Would have to be a nostalgia play at this point
@iLikeUrAttitude it does look great! Definitely not one of the best looking on switch tho. I would put at least 20 other games ahead of it. It looks like ps3 at best. Again, I don’t really care because the game is so good. My point is Pokémon is the biggest franchise in the history of entertainment, these games could look at least a gen or two better than they do
I know it’s annoying, but I still think this game could look way better. Smt v looks like a late stage ps2 game, and don’t care a single bit. Can Pokémon look as good as that? Or at least as good as let’s go pikachu/evee? What happened after that? Looked too nice for their standards? Anyway it doesn’t really matter I guess
Give it some time. Eventually all entertainment will be owned by a small handful of companies. This stuff is happening really fast, could be in a completely different place in 5 years
@Broosh ok but have you ever animated something by hand the old fashioned way, or know anything about the the studio system? These guys were able to make Cuphead because they could do it independently, and they sacrificed a lot. You will never see that kind of animation for tv, especially streaming.
@JimiVall I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I personally think the abbreviated style here is still pretty excellent. Like I mentioned above, my issue is more about it being dialogue driven vs gag driven
Kind of disappointing that it’s shaping up to be more of a dialogue based show rather than gag driven shorts like the ones that inspired the game. Really into the voices. That said the animation and style are great even tho they are abbreviated from the game. I’ll definitely be checking this out when it drops, I just love Cuphead too much not to
@Thomystic interesting tidbit, a long time ago sega sold commercial software packages that included some stock sound effects. A chinese pachinko machine manufacturer started making cash registers and loaded them with that sonic ring sound. I think that was in the 2000s, so there’s loads of gas stations that still use them
@MegaVel91 I think we’ve got a pretty good grasp on what this game is. There’s stuff they haven’t shown obviously, but if there was more to the core gameplay we would have seen by now.
I was all in when they revealed this game, but honestly idk. With the exception of the Pokémon vehicles thing, I feel like nothing really new has been revealed since then. I have a feeling this game is going to be kind of just ok. It really reminds me the gamefreak game Town
I think it will be tail end of this year if 2022. Splatoon 3 will likely be summer, I think there would realistically be 4-5 months between it and Zelda. I still would not be surprised at all if it was pushed. Zelda always gets pushed
Honestly I didn’t know a single gamer in real life who wasn’t extremely hyped immediately. Was a waayyyyyy different energy than Wii U reveal. Was pretty obvious it was going to be a blockbuster imo. People who doubted it either had Wii U ptsd or just the usual Sony/ms/pc elite gamurr$
I really really REALLY want a new punch out. or an hd deluxe version of 2009 punch out even. It's a top 10 nintendo franchise for me. sadly, i have a feeling they might have retired this series.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Mastery Of Physical Game Sales Hides Limited Digital Growth
it’s probably because the e shop sucks and storage on the switch is severely limited compared other consoles.

Re: Netflix's 'The Cuphead Show' Gets Debut Trailer, Streaming Begins Next Month
@JimiVall that would be an extremely expensive and difficult show to make. It took like 8 years to animate all that stuff by hand for the game itself.

Re: Mario Kart 9 Is "In Active Development" And Comes With A "New Twist", Analyst Claims
@Gamepro500 mk8 is not a new Mario kart game, and they’ve already said multiple times that the switch is going to have a longer than usual lifespan.
Re: Mario Kart 9 Is "In Active Development" And Comes With A "New Twist", Analyst Claims
I could see Zelda getting delayed for this
Re: Poll: So, Do You Think Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Will Actually Release In 2022?
I think it will be tail end of this year if 2022. Splatoon 3 will likely be summer, I think there would realistically be 4-5 months between it and Zelda. I still would not be surprised at all if it was pushed. Zelda always gets pushed
Re: Poll: It's The Year Of Splatoon 3 - Are You Excited?
