@MythTgr huh? Zelda is one of the most popular and accessible series ever. Literally designed for anyone to pick up and play. Maybe Zelda 2 is an exception, but the majority of Zelda games are very casual friendly. Even my mom played the original one on nes and had never touched a video game in her life.
Also don’t really care about a June direct tbh. We just got Zelda with pikmin 4 on the way. They aren’t topping that in q4 this year. A September direct, sure
Lol absolutely not. I actually picked up the first one along with Zelda on launch day so I would have something to play with my partner. We literally lost all interest after playing it twice. I don’t see myself having interest in these Nintendo party games until my daughter is a little older
@Cashews lol emotions? I can assure you I have zero emotions for these dumpy Pokémon games. I’m talking about sales and install base too u ding dong. Pokémon games that are the second release on any given console haven’t smashed sales of the first one historically. 10 second google search will show you this
Yes, but it would have to change quite a bit more. If they sort of reshuffled the locations/topography and made it a dark world version like link to the past, I thjnk that would be pretty interesting. Would also need a new set of abilities of course
@Casco mk is owned by Warner bros., which is part of Max. They released that mk movie a few yrs ago. And a character from a max show is in the game. It’s cross promotion. Expect more WB characters in this thing
Mgs2 is the ultimate gaming rug pull. Legit was marketed like you be playing as snake, even in the demo. It’s one of the finest troll jobs of all time, and dove tails nicely with the meta themes in the game. People were so mad. I feel like I remember with mgs 3 they had to beat it into the consumers that snake was back, albeit a different snake
@LXP8 how is it a crime tho? It’s a fairly mundane basic hairstyle. I would be more than shocked to learn that nobody in the history of ancient Japan tied their hair in addition to a knot
Lol this is what they always say. That said it’s already been almost 7 yrs since odyssey, which is a pretty long time. I bet new Mario launches with next console
@Olmectron The context is Mario though, so let’s stay there. Huge Nintendo debut movie should have a really good story with all the references and nostalgia stuff as window dressing imo, not the other way around.
Ultimately doesn’t matter, I really don’t care, but I don’t think anyone would disagree that a better story would likely be a better movie. Also, miyamoto may effectively be the father of modern video games, but that doesn’t mean he’s always right.
Sounds like it’s exactly what it looks like, and looks really fun. I’m an adult so I have no expectations for a kids movie, but it’s kinda lame there isn’t a good story(allegedly).
@Slowdive the broom things are ropes from Shinto shrines, which seems to be the theme of the sky islands. I’m guessing the Constructs are like the new guardians, and sheikah shrines are now zonai shrines.

Re: Soapbox: Modern Zelda Bosses Are Getting Harder, But They're Nothing Compared To The Oldies
The bosses are great, and really fun, but They are really easy. I can’t even think of a Zelda boss I’ve ever struggled with honestly

Re: Creatures Inc. Undertakes A Significant Change In Leadership
@Cashews na it’s already sold as much as sw/sh in less than a year. It will surpass it comfortably
Re: Creatures Inc. Undertakes A Significant Change In Leadership
Alright fellas how do we make these games cheaper and faster
Re: Soapbox: Pokémon Desperately Needs A Rival, But Who's Big Enough To Take It On?
Biggest entertainment franchise in the history of humans needs a rival. Ok. How exactly?
Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Squeeze Another Zelda Game Out Of TOTK's Open World?
Yes, but it would have to change quite a bit more. If they sort of reshuffled the locations/topography and made it a dark world version like link to the past, I thjnk that would be pretty interesting. Would also need a new set of abilities of course

@Grumblevolcano lol stop this is the same for every major Nintendo release
Re: Random: Square Enix's New Turf War Shooter Has 'Splatoon' Trending Online
This looks dead on arrival
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: TOTK's Shrines Are Brilliant At Making An Idiot Feel Like A Genius
@Aninok this is a legitimate criticism but I actually love the music and the colors so much that I always let it play out
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: TOTK's Shrines Are Brilliant At Making An Idiot Feel Like A Genius
There’s a few I spent so much time on, then finally looked up the solution to realize that I am indeed, stupid.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1's DLC Roster Might Have Already Been Leaked
It’s no surprise that this new mk is mostly a commercial to sell max subscriptions.

Re: Soapbox: A Love Letter To My Favourite New Character In Zelda: TOTK
Embarrassing how long it took me to realize this guy was a mini game

@Vivid_viking just say u haven’t played it or know anything about it
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Now The "Highest Rated Game Of All Time" On OpenCritic
I can’t believe people who were getting hyped for redfall were routinely posting about how much better it was going to be than botw dlc.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@Rykdrew nobody cares
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I went from thinking it looked like dlc to being so hyped that i daydream about it
Re: Random: Sakurai's Latest Video Implores Publishers Not To Mislead Players
@SalvorHardin sorry I usually have a more clear memory of things from 20 yrs ago lol
Re: Random: Sakurai's Latest Video Implores Publishers Not To Mislead Players
@Vyacheslav333 not the same as what he’s talking about

Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Ganondorf?
@LXP8 how is it a crime tho? It’s a fairly mundane basic hairstyle. I would be more than shocked to learn that nobody in the history of ancient Japan tied their hair in addition to a knot
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Ganondorf Voice Actor Revealed As Matthew Mercer
No offense to the voice actors, but the English VO in botw was unbearable and it’s the same here. Switching to JP is crucial
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Ganondorf?
@LXP8 his hair is based on ancient Japan, not white guys from 9 years ago
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Ganondorf?
The oot one is my favorite. New one is really good tho
Re: Poll: What Did You Make Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Trailer?
Blown away of course. I was pretty underwhelmed until the gameplay demo, and this one really put me over the edge. It looks amazing
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Pre-Launch Trailer Is Absolutely Stunning
@johnedwin we saw some possible dungeon like areas, but it is not confirmed
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Pre-Launch Trailer Is Absolutely Stunning
I kinda love that we still have no idea what possible dungeons or shrines are like
Re: Video: Jack Black Performs Bowser's Mario Movie Song 'Peaches'
Good, bad, or mediocre, you really can’t deny how infectiously incredible jack black is in just about every role

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Bros. Movie, And They're All Over The Place
All over the place, but mostly bad

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 1st)
Swapping between dark souls 3 and doom. I’m starting to feel the Zelda vibes tho so I might start dipping back into botw for a refresher
